Children Of Production is the fourth track from the 1976 Parliament album The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, featuring rich and Christmassy swinging brass hooks, and trippy and sometimes controversial lyrics sung by the Clones themselves.
[edit] Key lyrical sequences
In his (Funkenstein's) wisdow he forenotions,
The shortcomings of your condition,
So we the Clones were designed
We are deeper than abortion
Deeper than the notion
That the Earth was flat when it was round."
