Hawkwind - Uncle Sam's On Mars

Shoals of dead fish float on the lakes,
But Uncle Sam's on Mars
And science is making the same mistakes,
But Uncle Sam's on Mars
No one down here knows how to work the brakes,
but Uncle Sam's on Mars
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
He's on Mars

Layers of smoke in the atmosphere
Have made the earth too hot to bear
The Earth might be a desert soon,
America has left the Moon
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
Uncle Sam's on Mars,
He's on Mars

He's digging for dreams in the red sand
He's got his bucket and spade in his left hand
He's digging for dreams
He's looking for life
What's he doing out there?
He's looking for life
Looking for life
There may be life out there

[Nixon to Armstrong - July 21st 1969:]
"I'm talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room in the White House. And this certainly must be the most exciting telephone call ever made here on Earth. I just can't tell you how proud we all are. For every American this has to be the proudest day of their lives. And for people all over the world, I'm sure they too join with us in recognising what a tremendous achievement this is. For one priceless moment in the whole history of Man......"

Construction works
And he's looking for life
Looking for life to wind u
He's looking for life to stamp out
He's looking for life to grind out
He's looking for life, so mind out

I hope you brought your credit card with you,
and I hope you know how to drive on these long, lonely freeways and intersections we've got up here. We've got two cars in the garage, two cars in the garage, and
drum-majorettes in white ankle socks and baton twirling on Sundays.
We've got stripes and the stars,
And Uncle Sam's on,
Uncle Sam's on,
Uncle Sam's on Mars....
