The chromosomes divide,
multiply and thrive
And the strong survive,
and the strong survive
And a spaceman fucked an ape
then cut out on the date
and now it's much too late
The space ship has escaped

We're lacking something,
something good
Is this all for nothing,
Show me the goods,
something good

The chromosomes divide,
multiply and thrive
And the strong survive
And the strong survive
And the grandson of an alien
wears his snake skin boots
And shows his reptile roots
He shows his reptile roots

We're lacking something,
something good
Is this all for nothing,
Show me the goods,
something good
Boom tick tick
and who skipped
the long play
Who skipped the record
and who amped what you say
I want to sing a song that's my own
I want to the DJ

We're lacking something,
something good
Is this all for nothing,
Show me the goods,
something good

And it's alright,
It's a long night,
a long night,
It's a long night

    This song is an expression of disenchantment with life. When you break down human existence to the smallest level, its just multiply and divide. He's wondering, "Is this all for nothing?" Theres also a satiric fantasy of the human race being created by extraterrestrials impregnating apes. The references to skipping records and skipping the long play are about an almighty being (God) who runs the discoteque of life from above. He expresses desires to create something as well, maybe thats the good thing he's lacking.
