GENETIC CONTROL
First Impressions Lyrics

Suburban Life
Each man should have a castle, a car and a wife
A solid and impressive career to give meaning to his life
Don't forget the kiddies to add the final touch
And when Fido gets pregnant what will you name the pups

Suburban life attack cause you're a super DAD
You made up for all those things your parents never HAD
Suburban life's the way to make your final MARK
Prove to everyone you're living in the DARK

When the kids grow up they're in trouble all the time
Where did you go wrong, "it couldn't be kids of mine"
They're breaking into houses and stealing peoples cars
Hanging out in gangs and sneaking into bars

Suburban life attack, your kids think you're a JERK
They laugh at all your problems and nothing seems to WORK
Suburban life's the way to make your final MARK
Prove to everyone you're living in the DARK

You tell the kids to behave when you go out of town
They smash the car and wreck the house, they always let you down
They're smoking pot and shooting drugs and having orgies all the time
Even on vacation they're always on your mind

You send your kids to college, they wave goodbye to their friends
But school is just a joke to them, the fun will never end
You provided such an environment that makes your kids so bad
You gave them everything you could, everything you had


Urban Cowboy
Shit faced and drunk and it's time to fight
Blow off some steam, you've been waiting all night
Ride real tall but not on a horse
Act like a fascist, don't show no remorse

So you've got what you want and take what you need
You're such a man and a real man always succeeds

Shit faced and drunk and it's time to fight
Blow off some steam, you've been waiting all night
Beat up your wife when you've got nothing to do
You're such a hero, red white and blue

Dress up in white and worship the clan
Degrading others makes you feel like a man
Beat up your wife when you've got nothing to do
You're such a hero, red white and blue

Every night you get ready for a night out of town
And just like Glenn Campbell you dress up like a clown
With rhinestones and leather, your hat down over your eyes
And all of your buddies are wearing the same disguise
And the gals will love you as you walk by on parade

Shit faced and drunk and it's time to fight
Blow off some steam, you've been waiting all night
Beat up your wife when you've got nothing to do
You're such a hero, red white and blue
1984
Big Brother is watching, he controls and manipulates you
Can't you see what's going on. Here today, tomorrow you're gone

So now you feel safe 'cause you're controlled
So free just doing what you're told
It's great to have a reason to exist
Not a person but a number on a list

So go to work and don't complain; you're not paid to use your brain
Don't ask questions just do your job and fit right in your little slot

So go to work
and do your job
then watch TV
and cease to be

Well they know what's best for you; government, industry, religion too
They use you up and spit you out; it's 1984 without a doubt

Big Brother is watching you, he knows about everything you do
Just fit the mould and you'll be fine; living for them what a waste of time


Love Rat
There's a rat that I'm sure you know
Just mix the potion and then watch him grow
There's no end to what you can do
When the Love Rat sinks his teeth in you

Love rat (4X)

There's a little rat in everyone
Some ignore him while some think he's fun
A nocturnal creature that preys at night
With a twisted mind and a lethal bite

The Live Rat is something that's always around
In every bar, in every town
He brings people together with sex on their minds
And breaks them apart at the same time

The Rat says grab whatever you can
Don't strike out because you're a man
And people know you for what you are
But when you're with the Rat then you go too far


Brave New World
Brave New World is a book from 1931
Aldous Huxley knew that one day the time would come
When they would design people for a pre-programmed human race
Each unit has its function, each worker in his place

Conceived inside a test tube to suit genetic control
Artificial insemination is always on the rise
You can pick the child you want, sure it's nothing new
Just pay a few thousand bucks and wait a year or two

Just fill out the questionnaire: What kind of nose, what color hair
Which emotions, what weight, how tall. Take your pick, they make 'em all

They make four standard models to perform a certain task
They run them through some basic tests to see how long they last
Each model must be perfect, just like a machine
Man made human robots to serve the American dream
