DK's "Shrink" vs. Hollywood's "Downsizing"

zykotick9 at

The following is the lyrics to Dead Kennedy's 1986 song "Shrink".

This is a link to a movie I saw advertised on TV today - and INSTANTLY thought of DK's song ;) the movie is "Downsizing (2017)".

-------- lyrics follow

"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 'round

Why don't we build a machine With all the know-how of the industries We put a man on the moon On earth we'll 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 wanna die like dinosaurs We'll have enough resources to go round 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
