We told them all the right and wrong
Soon they'll be on their own
To speak with voice all their own
Then you're absolved
It's a natural cycle - bipedal
Traffic backed up on a hill
While they struggle
Then it's resolved
Is it genetic
What makes us think it
Products of our up-
Bringing us down
I'm getting close
That only counts
Well, you know
For nothing at all
Is it genetic
What makes us think it
Products of our up-
Bringing us down
Now the time is drawing near
- It's not enough
Almost done with nonsense
- No, you're not
Maybe twenty years from now
- That's not even close
That's not even close
There's an old saying
I know you've heard it
Close only counts in
Whore shoes and hand grenades
