D.n.a. Lyrics

I'd rather be blind than have two evil eyes.
A backward boy can see from behind.
Abortion is advocated,
Only by those who have themselves been born.

They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away our D.N.A.
Are you going to breed retarded children?
Are you going to breed retarded children?

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Drunks and children tell the truth,
Insanity is a kinda innocence.

They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away our D.N.A.
Are you going to breed retarded children?
Are you going to breed retarded children?

I wanna live (whisper)

Birds stop singing when you shoot them down.
Holes in my wings will show me the ground.
A creature born is a creature that's dying.
Statistics can breathe, our numbers are sighing.

Are they going to breed retarded children?
Are they going to breed retarded children?
They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away our D.N.A.
Taking away, away, away
They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away, away, away
They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away our D.N.A.
They're taking away our D.N.A yeah!
Taking away our D.N.A.
D.N.A,
D.N.A,
D.N.A,
D.N.A,
D.N.A,
D.N.A,
D.N.A,
D.N.A.

WEAK13 - D.N.A.
Words & music by Nick J.Townsend Song info:
The eerie dark and disturbing track D.N.A., recorded over real 'white noise' static, capturing loss and despair. This song was the hardest to record due to Nick trying to come to terms with the death of his Granddad who was a childhood hero to him, it was a very cold morbid atmosphere in the studio and because of that the track itself felt like a portal into the spirit world. The subject nature of the track talks about how the majority of the human race strives to create a perfect society and how anything imperfect is seen as wrong, a disability or in need of correction. Nick himself was scarred at birth, bullied throughout his childhood and labelled a freak. He had surgery at the age of 13 to hide his defect and became a "real boy" like as in the tale of Pinocchio. After years of ridicule he had little in the way of social skills and didn't know how to talk to others. Whenever he met knew people he had no idea how to introduce himself or understand danger. Nick decided being imperfect is something to be proud of and in many ways regretted having the surgery as he had no way of understanding who was a friend and who wasn't so he shaved half of his hair off so that society would view him as a freak once again. He has remained the same way ever since. This song is a mix of emotions and deeper than words can describe.
