70 pounds of plutonium |
|
Slingshot flyby |
|
One misfiring rocket results |
|
In a global PR situation |
|
As the most toxic substance |
|
Rains down to the earth |
|
And over the next 50 years |
|
Thirty million exposures |
|
Yet I risked the world |
|
And gained the ultimate high ground |
|
We'll now power up |
|
Alpha lasers and particle beams |
|
Our nuclear labs |
|
And our weapons corporations |
|
Need starving new markets |
|
And Space is that Place |
|
Yeah I know about the Russian probe |
|
That crashed into Chile |
|
Yeah I know Apollo 13's power pack splashed |
|
Off the coast of New Zealand |
|
Yeah I know all this and more |
|
Than you will ever find out |
|
So I'll let you in on the score |
|
Space is already radioactive |
|
R is for Rocket |
|
S is for Space |
|
T is for the end of time |
|
So party like you did back in 1999 |
|
Yes Space is the Place |
|
Either we control it or someone else will |
|
And all we asked of you was to face |
|
Swallowing the most bitter of pills |
