The Latent Gene

Mary's baby's eyes are blue He is to be the chosen few And there's just one thing she's got to do To conceive the latent gene His absent father's watching him From a gene pool where a billion swim Where mutants form on just a whim And conceive the latent gene My generation's lost its patience Playing with the world within Accelerated saturation Out of our minds on saccharin Mary's baby's eyes are green Potential power still unseen Morals cleansed in ethylene And conceive the latent gene Mary's baby's eyes are black A dinucleic heart attack And the doctor says he's coming back To conceive the latent gene My generation's lost its patience Playing with the world within Accelerated saturation Out of our minds on saccharin My generation's lost its patience Playing with the world within Accelerated saturation Out of our minds on saccharin She hears a voice inside her head When all is quiet and she's in bed It's hard for her to understand The mindspeak of her little man How can a baby have two mothers Adopted long before it's born Conceived by another And from a second torn But in this safe and confined world within This cookoo's changing its spots An outcome unforeseen Now we see the latent gene The doctor's scientific discipline Can't stop him changing the plot An outcome unforeseen Now we see the latent gene Faltering telepathy reaching out into his mother's mind Mary's baby's eyes are grey Evolution gone astray Changes in his DNA Have conceived the latent gene My generation's lost its patience Playing with the world within Accelerated saturation Out of our minds on saccharin My generation's lost its patience Playing with the world within Accelerated saturation Out of our minds on saccharin
