DIY World (Studio Version)

‘Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
And that’s what we oughta be in the DIY world

Tomorrow belongs to the brave / ‘Cause we can be what we wanna be
Not the slave / And we need to be what we gotta be
But the brave / Do it yourself, do it yourself
DIY world

Gamma rays, tidal waves
Influenza there’s so many ways
The human race can take a hit

We’re gonna sink but you can swim
If you don’t mind a little change of skin
Designer genes are a better fit

‘Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
That’s what we oughta be in the DIY world

Tomorrow belongs to the brave / ‘Cause we can be what we wanna be
Not the slave / And we need to be what we gotta be
But the brave / Do it yourself, do it yourself
DIY world

Rising seas, no more trees
Then be a freaking fleet of killer bees
We’re masters of creation

DNA is the way
Now that evolution’s had its day
The intelligent design solution

And we
We could live for a thousand years…

‘Cause we can be what we wanna be
And we need to be what we gotta be
That’s what we oughta be in the DIY world

‘Cause we can be what we wanna be / Do it to yourself, to yourself
And we need to be what we gotta be / Do it to yourself
That’s what we oughta be / Do it to yourself
In the DIY world / To yourself, do it to yourself

(Double chorus continues thru end of next verse)

Tomorrow belongs to the brave
Not the slave
But the brave

Imagine, we could produce super-strength
Electric reflexes
Powers once reserved for the ancient gods
Are now within our grasp

And we
We could live, we could live
For a thousand…
Years
