Astronaut Without a Space Program

They won’t let me lift off

Because we’re running out of money

They just spend it all on the military

To protect us from this made-up threat

Well I’m sick of being the government’s pet

I’m not gonna let them control me

I’m gonna find what lies beyond the sea

You can call me the real threat

I’ll expose the government’s lies

Discover the real reason why

They won’t let us fly

Maybe that will get them high

Why is there no space program?

I won’t take part in your filthy scam

The suburban sea I’ve already swam

I have nowhere else to scram

Time to explore the final frontier 

Time to face our final fear

This could be our final year

Just send me to a place far from here

I seek the truth

They tried to protect me from

One day the truth will come

Then the universe will open up

The skies will lift us all up

From this land trying to crash us down

Maybe then I will lift up this frown.
