Genetics

I knew our plan was doomed

Right from the start

The human bodt's made of

more than just a heart,

And though it seemed we'd be

Together for eternity,

That's a long long away

From how it seems to be to me

It isn't right

That we should fight

About the way we fit together

Just another complication

That is standing in our way

And you know

I love you so

And even though we'll make a monster

It's a beautiful disaster

That's too terrible to simply throw away

Our arteries are red

And our veins remain blue

But even so our damaged

Blood trickles through

It's true

That all our relatives dies

From the blood

That trickled 'round them inside

And so far we've lived our lives

Thinking everything was fine,

Not thinking of the trouble

Borne inside us at the time,

And now we've come

To find the sum

Is greater than the parts that make it

This hereditary sorrow

That's kept quiet through the years

All the grief

And the relief

Our parents felt when we were healthy

Newborn babies we don't get

Because genetics is a science

Made of tears
