Read the ingredients on the box
You still wonder why this country's on the rocks
Hear about toxic waste on the news
When the paperboy comes we all sing the blues

When we watch TV (we got mutant genes)
When we read the news (we got mutant genes)
When we listen to politicians (we got mutant genes)
When we fight their wars (we got mutant genes)

Mainstreaming retards is no longer news
They're out in our community raising their own kids
Nuclear reactors, there's one in every yard
Is it any wonder that life is getting hard

I ain't got time for you (we got mutant genes)
Cause I'm all messed up myself (we got mutant genes)
Takin care of me (we got mutant genes)
Is a full time job (we got mutant genes)

Mom always said as she threw out the dog
Won't keep no animal what shits in his own house
Seems the house is full but don't listen to me
Turn on your TV and let some more shit in

When we watch TV (we got mutant genes)
When we read the news (we got mutant genes)
When we listen to politicians (we got mutant genes)
When we fight their wars (we got mutant genes)
