Song is Genetic engineering. Usually, I don't have problems understanding what's a song supposed to mean but this one's a tough one. I can't make sense of it. So I guess it's time for you native speakers out there...

Questions are:
1.positive or negative view on the topic?
2.who's meant with `little children´?
3.which plans is he singing about?
4.what's seen as `lies´here?
5.meaning of last 4 verse?
6.why does it list these nouns, esp.judgement butcher engineer

here are the lyrics:
Efficient, logical, effective, and practical
Using all resources to the best of our ability
Changing, designing, adapting our mentalities
Improving our abilities for a better way of life

Babies Mother Hospital Scissors
Creature Judgement Butcher Engineer

These are the little children
The future in our hands
When all God's children on this Earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us
But this is the only way
When all God's children on the Earth
Will ever more be saved

Babies Mother Hospital Scissors
Creature Judgement Butcher Engineer

These are the little children
The future's in their hands
When all God's children on this Earth
Inherit all our plans
These are the lies they tell us
The future's good as sold
In all the things we say and do
We really must be bold
