Lyrics
Dna
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dna you're in a battle with your dna
You'll wrestle mother nature til the end
You don't accept the judges decision
It's gonna take and take total annihilation
They preach to you
They speak the truth
But truth is only in the understanding
Only when all parties can agree to the terms does it
Count on every star you see in the sky
It ain't all the options
What is called for often is called improvisation
Commandments that they passed along to you
Encoded what and not to do
But the law is full of loop holes
Its contradictions causes short circuits
In human hands
The struggle expands
Till every mother is mutating daughter
Repeated simply sequential if'n you care to
Count on every star you see in the sky
It ain't all the options
What is called far often is called
A term you gotta define
A term you gotta define
A term you gotta define
Through improvisation
