There's been a brand neew breakthrough
基因科学迎来全新突破
Though they're not sure what it means
虽然意义尚未完全明晰
We used to blame our parents
我们曾习惯责怪父母
Now we can pin it on our genes

Hey and I'm not talking 501's
这绝非在说牛仔裤
I don't mean no pair of pants
也不是指普通长裤
I'm talking about a future

Where nothing's left to chance
万物皆可精准设计
If you'rre dumb fat queer or crazy
若你愚钝肥胖怪异或疯癫
No one is to blame
无需责怪任何人
You've just been dealt a lousy hand
你只是抽到了糟糕的牌
In the genetic poker game
在这场基因的赌局中
And if you start killing people
若你开始伤害他人
It's not evil you're not cruel
并非邪恶也非残忍
It's just a little goop polluting
只是些许污浊物质
Your genetic swimming pool

Oh
They can spot the culprit

And magnify it on a screen
在屏幕上将其放大审视
Those scientists and doctors

Can pinpoint that nasty genre
能精准定位缺陷基因
And with a little engineering
只需稍加工程改造
They can take that wayward train

And they can get it back on track
让它重回正轨前行
So you're smart straight thin and sane
你聪明正直 身材匀称 心智健全
Allright

Abandon what is random

Don't you leave it up to luck
别把一切交给运气
Why not submit yourself to a little
何不让自己接受些
Genetic nip and tuck

Yeah we can put a man upon the moon
我们能把人类送上月球
And we can conquer inner space
也能征服内在空间
With a little genetic tinkering

We can make a master race

Now back there in the first verse
回到第一段主歌里
I sang that nothing is left to chance
我唱过万事皆非偶然
We're locked into a box or a goose step

In life's dna dance

Now the future is no mystery
