Gene Trash by Tribe One Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2011

[Sample: Professor X]
Possessing the power of magnetism, he began calling himself "Magneto." He and his growing legion of followers attacked power plants, factories, government buildings, determined to disrupt human society, paving the way for mutant takeover

[Tribe One]
Fucking magnets. How do they work?

[Sample: Professor X & Magneto]
Are these the people whose laws you trust? They don't seem to share your sense of brotherhood
They only fight because they fear us. Because they don't yet understand
They DO understand. Our mutant powers make us superior. THAT is why they fear us

[Verse One: Tribe One]
Anywhere there's a negative and positive reaction
And the metal in a molecule's adaptin'
From being called to action
You could consider it my signature for rewriting the laws of attraction
If it's metal, it's mine to manipulate
Friction-based, shifting weight and size to a different shape
Militant mission statement
If you take the basics of Viktor von Doom mixed with Inquisition saints
You'd be introduced to living proof of evolution
To influence the youth as new recruits into the movement
With room left to improve becoming something more than human
Just ask what you would do if Huey Newton was a mutant
On some super-villain ruthless with a few too many options
Snipers on the roof of universities in Austin
Let me take a second to explain how it works
I make the metal move and you get hurt
[Chorus: Tribe One]
You will not live as if evolution gives you a free pass
You will not live as if yours is the only yard with green grass
You were taught "top of the food chain," if you still believe that
Then you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live, you will not live, you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live, you will not live, you will not live, you are gene trash

[Verse Two: Tribe One]
You don't need to be a mind reader to see what I've been through
I've witnessed firsthand the evil that men do
You people are deceitful and vengeful
So do please excuse if I choose not to eat from the menu
And I've been fed the propaganda
And watched the populace get shot with their hands up by cops with handguns
So don't call it a tantrum, you can call it an anthem for those making a stand 'cause they can't run
We find that kindnesses are minuscule
But when I gathered up a band of like-minded individuals
They labeled us the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
'Cause we couldn't see the use in living underfoot of feeble humans
So what are we to do when this much is at stake?
Give up and refrain, or live up to the name?
The same suffering and pain runs in our veins
It may gain us nothing, but something must change

[Chorus]
You will not live as if evolution gives you a free pass
You will not live as if yours is the only yard with green grass
You were taught "top of the food chain," if you still believe that
Then you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live, you will not live, you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live, you will not live, you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live as if evolution gives you a free pass
You will not live as if yours is the only yard with green grass
You were taught "top of the food chain," if you still believe that
Then you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live, you will not live, you will not live, you are gene trash
You will not live, you will not live, you will not live, you are gene trash
[Sample: Magneto]
The humans must be crushed, and I have the power to do it
