The Human Genome Project Lyrics

[Verse 1] Our physical traits are influenced by genetics That make us vulnerable to disease like diabetics Or multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and cancer Apparently this project will provide these answers A molecular blueprint of homosapiens That will remodel the world with its information I wonder how this data will be interpreted And who really has control over dispersing it In case you haven't known, it's the human genome Twenty-three chromosomes capable of being cloned Thirty thousand genes encoded by DNA Sequenced along three billion bases atomically Government departments of energy and health Helped research expand by providing their wealth To form a worldwide scientific collaboration Against secrets of life and all mystification [Chorus] Its essential the public becomes aware Revolutionary changes will occur everywhere Time to choose what is or not ethical The Human Genome Project's got me sceptical "The Human Genome Project" - Canibus [Verse 2] In Nineteen Fifty-Three, Francis Crick And James Watson discovered the double helix In Deoxyribonucleic acidics With thoughts that were completely anti religious They wanted to prove that there was no God That ideas of vitalism should be viewed in disregard 'Cuz anything divine was now impossible And primarily explained as being biological Intelligence levels, plus aggressive behavior Biasedly defined by those the results favored Inequalities grew as power maintained For dominant social systems who manipulate our brains To believe what they're saying is the actual truth Just because an expert claims there's factual proof That's how morality can become distorted When a few people decide for the world what is important [Chorus] [Verse 3] Corporations like Celera Genomics Privately sell info to make profits To pharmaceutical firms in search of products That will improve business and company economics Testing on non-human organisms Lab mice and fruit flies for polymorphisms As biotechnology invents new creatures Mutated animals with deformative features Functioning organs are grown inside them And transplanted to people on the verge of dying Through nuclear shifting of somatic matter Cloning a sheep named Dolly was successfully mastered Possibilities cause implications Like embryo pre-natal manipulations So parents can make their ideal child A therapeutically-enhanced altered profile But who will gain access to our personal records Maybe job employers or insurance inspectors Blatantly invading all rights to privacy Subjectively forming a cultural hierarchy Entirely based on eugenic foundations Past history's of inhumane discriminations Like nazi racism, attempted termination Of populations through genocide elimination [Chorus]Cale Sampson - The Human Genome Project - http://motolyrics.com/cale-sampson/the-human-genome-project-lyrics.html
