I wanna join the space force
To sail among the stars
Planting my country’s flag
And colonizing Mars
With visions of Star Trek
Armed with deadly warheads
We’ll blast any alien bodies
And set up American homesteads
Kissin’ space babes like Captain Kirk
With fasers set to awesomeness
Recruiting TV model space cadets
Based solely on their handsomeness
The military industrial complex
Keeps us chin deep in rockets
For all the upcoming missions
Taxpayers have bottomless pockets
We’ll find ourselves alone
There’s no intelligent life form
In the White House or Senate
One idea would be a brainstorm
In the meantime Earth is dying
Greed and selfishness abound
The clock is ticking away
Our mothership has run aground
Ticket 2 Ride
