- Shrink LyricsIf 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
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

When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the Dead Kennedys' song 'Shrink' has been using the metaphor of tiny humans to express their discontent with society and to criticize the issue of overpopulation, the scarcity of resources, and the unfair distribution of power and resources among the rich and poor, and also the absurdity of expecting easy solutions for difficult problems. The main theme of Shrink lyrics is more of a social commentary, profound thought, angst, despair, and empowerment. Meanwhile the song conveys the narrative of overpopulation and resource scarcity, the hope of technology and social inequality. The lyrics have themes and vocabulary that might not be suitable for children; they talk about shrinking of humans and animals, and there is one line 'exempted from the ovens' that could refer to the Holocaust which is why these words would be inappropriate for kids under 13 without supervision.
