The Family Tree Dysgenic
Lyrics: Michael Passen

Like the fork upon your table
Or the pipe that flows the water
To your cup and to your mouth

Ingest the luxuries you're able
Until the lead of fine utensils
Breeds death from all your wealth

And this is no morality play
This is not the guilty being made to pay

Nor are these the ravings of a cynic
This is the Family Tree Dysgenic

His noble ear hears duty calling
And so the vessel of posterity
Pours itself upon the flame

In to the violence of war sprawling
And summon generations fathered
By the sick and by the lame

And this is no morality play
This is not the guilty being made to pay

Nor are these the ravings of a cynic
This is the Family Tree Dysgenic

Procreate without regard
In these circular relations
Roots extending in every direction
Crumble the bedrock of civilization

Now the branches are in chaos
They are twisted and confused
So that their lineage can't be found

And the limbs are hanging heavy
So that the fruit of coming epochs
Rots unpicked upon the ground

And this is no morality play
This is not the guilty being made to pay

Nor are these the ravings of a cynic
This is the Family Tree Dysgenic
