Slingshot
What we wanna do... is change the world
When I look back at this place when I'm in outer space
I remember finer times in these lines
The fact about time is - it's limited
I've got this thing to do for everyone
Yes! Now that I got your attention worldwide
You gotta understand I couldn't land it if I tried
My little planet looks so peaceful from the outside
It's hard to see all the wars and the genocide
I can't abide with that so here's the vision
Steal a ship and go to Mars to end all this division
up a shuttle with the ISS and leave
Interplanetary piracy's the only path that I see
A simple orbit is so easy to keep
But all this going round in circles ain't changing a damn thing
Civilization's been complacent in this generation
Man I'm losing patience, so I choose a different destination
I'm sick of waiting for a perfect plan
I'm sick of waiting just to hand the glory over to another man
I finished the calculations up this afternoon
To go to Mars I gotta slingshot around the Moon
When I look back at this place when I'm in outer space
I remember finer times in these lines
The fact about time is - it's limited
I've got this thing to do for everyone
Don't worry my friends, it's OK
I can accept a little tragedy
There's no safety net I'll find
Worth one small step for mankind
The key to the future is not to do less
It's to do more with less
And that, to me, is the future of space exploration
Now my friends, I am all for everybody flying around in space
I want to fly in space
Yes; but Mars
Mars is a 'whole-nother' thing
It's so simple if you think it through
It's not the place that you're from that's defining you
We view the world as if we're different nationalities
Blinded to the fact that we share the same humanity
You can't take a space station to the promised land
Ehh... you may be right but I'll be damned if I don't take the chance
To move man from the Earth to the universe
Or die in space, whatever comes first
When I look back at this place when I'm in outer space
I remember finer times in these lines
The fact about time is - it's limited
I've got this thing to do for everyone
Don't worry my friends, it's OK
I can accept a little tragedy
There's no safety net I'll find
Worth one small step for mankind
When I look back at this place when I'm in outer space
I remember finer times in these lines
The fact about time is - it's limited
I've got this thing to do for everyone
