Who grew foods gigantic; from paper thin slices;
Of DNA markers; from which they create;
from one single apple, enough to feed eight!

Fast forward 10 years of bio-genetics;
No one is starving; were into asthetics;
With built in resistance to sequential stranding;
Now it is beauty and youth we’re demanding!

Once again Bayer, Dow Corning, Dupont;
Rise to supply us with what we all want!
Biotechnology makes a decision;
To maximize humans as host organisms!
Experimental molecular clones;
Infused with the finest of genes we can own!
Grown in a lab to prevent degradation;
We engineer out all unwanted mutation!

A planet of beautiful people they paid for;
Left nothing to fear; and nothing to pray for.
Clean air and water; and farms growing wild.
All of our needs met, the government’s child;

In our 200th year we get a vacation;
Back to the lab for regeneration!
Grandmas and Grandpas return one and all;
Hundreds of thousands inside the great hall.

Even with all of the food we now make;
Successful research had made one mistake.
Freed of disease, healthy and strong;
Although we may age, we live far too long!
To make room for new ones who still can produce;
We have to depopulate those of no use!

The bands play with vigor; the alcohol’s free;
We honor your service; and read the decree!
Please face the plasma torch; in us you trust;
Call the custodian; vacuum them up.
