Lyrics for Shrink
If 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 around Why don't we build a machine With all the know-how of the industries? We put a man on the moon We're gonna 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 want to die like dinosaurs We'll have enough resources to go around, 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
