WHO AM I?

It was Handels’ opportunity, it was a gift from God
He gave hope to Judie’s parents, to compensate the loss
Money was no object, looking for the perfect cross
A thoroughbred with pedigree, good teeth and winning form
At the clinic you can pick and choose from every race and creed
You can have yourself an athlete or even Mr Deeds
But you won’t find gays and lesbians in the emporium of seeds
Only perfect boys and girls in suburban garden dreams

I’ve seen it on TV
Safe like milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve seen it on TV
Safe like milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?

He’s been tampering with nature, taking science a step too far
Making money out of misery, playing God at the auction stall
He’s the father of invention, the alter-ego made flesh
He’s clinically efficient, there’s no dust on his shelf
It’s a marvelous opportunity for a young man out of school
Besotted by the market place and all its golden rules
It’s a billion dollar industry despair then a little hope
But making babies used to be what we did behind closed doors

I’ve seen it on TV
Safe like milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?
I’ve seen it on TV
Safe like milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?

I’m going back to where I’ve come from

I’ve seen it on TV
Safe like milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?

I’ve seen it on TV
Safe like milk and honey pie
Who am I to disagree?

who am I,
i never knew
