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 Hook 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
