Shrink

If only people could shrink
Our world wouldn´t be so overcrowded
Bring ourselves down to size
There´d be so much more food to go ´round
Why don´t we build a machine
With all the know-how of the industries
We put a man on the moon
On earth we´ll need more room to breathe real soon
Oh
Drink your vaccine and let´s shrink
And bring your poodle so it doesn´t eat us
The roads will be so wide
No traffic jams when we´re half a foot tall
Bring what you need down here
We´ll shrink it all by microwave
Don´t wanna die like dinosaurs
We´ll have enough resources to go round
Oh
So now you´ve made the big shrink
Meanwhile we´ll keep acting big
We well-bred beautiful people
Who says we have to go too?
Cops and Mason businessmen
Were exempted from the ovens
As if you weren´t already.
The rest of you are all our termites now
Oh
Our world wouldn´t be so overcrowded
Bring ourselves down to size
There´d be so much more food to go ´round
Why don´t we build a machine
With all the know-how of the industries
We put a man on the moon
On earth we´ll need more room to breathe real soon
Oh
Drink your vaccine and let´s shrink
And bring your poodle so it doesn´t eat us
The roads will be so wide
No traffic jams when we´re half a foot tall
Bring what you need down here
We´ll shrink it all by microwave
Don´t wanna die like dinosaurs
We´ll have enough resources to go round
Oh
So now you´ve made the big shrink
Meanwhile we´ll keep acting big
We well-bred beautiful people
Who says we have to go too?
Cops and Mason businessmen
Were exempted from the ovens
As if you weren´t already.
The rest of you are all our termites now
Oh
