FRANKENMOUSE

Like Nazi scientists invited to stay
I do Pentagon research
I trust my government, they fight against evil
I only follow the laws
We can't go back and you can't stop science
We'll cure it all you'll see
How dare you compare the Manhattan Project
With Human Genome mapping

To legally test on living human tissue
They spliced fetal human DNA into a mouse

The company mouse was a new species, Patent 123
You can pay per unit of offspring
Or breed them yourself and pay us royalties
See our brochure for our company's transgene stock

In Frank's lab down the hall
Behind locked doors & military protocol
Lies killer bacteria in sealed agar jars
Waiting for the covert call

All drug and genetic tested employees
Showed up as usual for work one day
But something was floating under Frank's door
And into the blood of their nasal walls

Brain tumor, AIDS, instant heart attack
Whatever he was inventing
Met with grief in all the staff
Except Frank who somehow missed that day

Those who were left with little time
Hauled Frank into an experiment room
They spliced a mouse into his gut and sperm production
So he and his children would forever pay

Frankenmouse, Frankenmouse, Frankenmouse
