ALTER MY GENES
(words and music by Robert Pirrie © 2005)

Alter my genes, because I wanna get taller now
Alter my genes, no I don’t wanna get balder now
Alter my genes, because I wanna get smarter now
Alter my genes, no I don’t wanna work harder now
Alter my genes, and maybe then that girl will love me

Alter my genes, let’s turn a pig into a Jersey cow
Alter my genes, let’s make a dog that’ll say meow
Alter my genes, let’s make a goat that’ll just grow one horn
Alter my genes, hey then we’ll have us a unicorn
Alter my genes, and maybe then the world will love me

Yes, and alter my kid’s genes too
Make them grow and grow right on out of their beds
Try a genetic code that’s new
Make their brains grow and grow right on out of their heads

Alter my genes, because I’m tired of just being me
Alter my genes, don’t wanna be who I was born to be
Alter my genes, let’s do a little chromosomal dance
Alter my genes, no I ain’t talking about my pants
Alter my genes, and maybe then that girl will love me

Well I play rock and roll, but I ain’t no raver
Just wanna have something in common with that Flavr Savr

Alter my genes, because I’m tired of just being me
Alter my genes, don’t wanna be who I was born to be
Alter my genes, let’s do a little chromosomal dance
Alter my genes, no I ain’t talking about my pants
Alter my genes, and maybe then that girl will love me
