Genetic Engineering Lyrics by X-Ray Spex

Germ Free Adolescents

1978

[Intro]
Genetic engineering
Eins, zwei, drei, vier!

[Verse 1]
Genetic engineering
Could create the perfect race
Create an unknown life-force
That could us exterminate
Introducing worker clone
As our subordinated slave
His expertise proficiency
Will surely dig our grave

[Chorus]
It's so very tempting
Will biologists resist?
When he becomes the creator?
Will he let us exist?

[Verse 2]
Bionic man is jumping
Through the television set
He's about to materialize
And guess who's coming next
Genetic engineering
Could create the perfect race
Could create an unknown life-force
That could us exterminate

[Chorus]
It's so very tempting
Will biologists resist?
When he becomes the creator?
Will he let us exist?

[Outro]
It's so very tempting
Will biologists resist?
When he becomes the creator?
Will he let us exist?
