Shrink lyrics

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
