lyrics

WE DON'T WANT THAT KINDA SPACE RACE
WE DON'T WANT THAT IN OUTER SPACE
WE DON'T WANT THAT KINDA SPACE RACE
NO MORE MILITARY IN OUTER SPACE

THEY'RE WATCHING THE NUMBER PLATE OF YOUR CAR
WATCHING TO SEE WHAT CLOTHES YOU WEAR
WATCHING WHEN YOU COME HOME AT NIGHT
WATCHING YOU FROM OUTTA SIGHT

WATCHING USE CAMERAS DIGITAL
GOT NEW LAWS TO READ YOUR EMAIL
WATCHING YOU FROM AFAR
SATELLITE MANAGEMENT IN THE GEOSPHERE

WANT TO PUT THE CORPORATIONS ON MARS
USE ROBOTS PUT DOWN BORES
SUCK THOSE POLAR ICE CAPS DRY
DON'T WORRY IT WILL BE ECO FRIENDLY

SOON THEY SAY THE EARTH IS DEAD
TIME TO GET OFF TO STAY AHEAD
WE MUST LEAVE THE PLANET TO SURVIVE
THAT'S NASA'S SLOGAN I DO NOT LIE

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE USA
WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOU AND ME
AND IF YOU MAKE A WRONG WRONG MOVE
THEY'RE GONNA ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP YOU

USING LASER LASER STAR WARS BEAMS
MICROWAVES AND ROBOT PLANES
SATELLITES AND NUCLEAR FUEL
NOW WHAT WAS THE REASON WE HAD TO LEAVE AT ALL?

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE MASTER RACE
BIG GUN TV RADIO STATION
PUMPING OUT THE MAINSTREAM NEWS
SUBTLY SHAPING AND CHANGING OUR VIEWS

AS THEY GET MORE UPTIGHT DOWN HERE
THEY WANT TO PUT MORE JUNK UP THERE
GOT THEIR BASES ON SACRED AND
GET OUT WE DON'T WANT YOU ON PINE GAP
