Reconstruction Blues

It's been a few years since the battle for the planet
A lot of devastation every city every nation
We stuck with limitations even poison vegetation
We faced extermination but the human race survived
And to everyone's surprise we decided to rebuild
Put our strength to the test and combine every skill
But for people like me u see the mission never stops
Skull squadron on patrol and we always on the watch
I'm flying over deserts once populated cities
The epitome of life man the world was so pretty
Now its nothing but a wasteland the water isnt safe man
Life flourished on the planet now theres no trace fam
Separated from my squad had to make my own rounds
Restricted flyzone i see something on the ground
I had to take a closer look set my veritech down
I cant believe my eyes and tell the people what i found

Order out of chaos
It comes and it goes
Like the Phoenix in the flames
Death before growth
Rising from the ashes
Fires and the clashes
Natural disasters
The here after
Ain't nothing more we can do
These are the reconstruction blues

I see Flowers blooming i cant believe my own eyes
The planets reconstructing itself what a surprise
The zentradi battleships destroyed the whole surface
In just a few minutes for one simple purpose
The SDF1 was something more than it really seemed
A protoculture factory, something from our worst dreams
The only power source that the aliens required
It landed on our planet like a chariot of fire
And unbeknownst to us we decided we decided we can fix it
Develop their technology and build our own ships wit
We had it all twisted and we sprung the first booby trap
And here comes the aliens we had to fight back
Now the robotech scrap from the planets greatest battle
Covers plains in the fields where the cattle used to graze
I feel lost in a maze, and every wrong turn is death
Big brother said be brave so ima listen with respect

Order out of chaos
It comes and it goes
Like the Phoenix in the flames
Death before growth
Rising from the ashes
Fires and the clashes
Natural disasters
The here after
Ain't nothing more we can do
These are the reconstruction blues
Ain't nothing more we can do
These are the reconstruction blues
