Jet Flair

Missiles are crashing all around us
Peace contracts holding on thin trust
Maybe if this planet explodes
I will bother to care
(But for now I m staying here)

Millions spent on shuttles
To be sent off where no one goes
We have a place to live
So why bother to care?
(Projects so dumb and vain)

CHORUS
But all these weapons are making a lot of racket
And I m feeling insecure
Keep my reservation aboard your rocket
I think I ll need it in the near-future
Blasting out of this place!

You elevate to new degrees
I m sticking to my 9.8 gravity
And when this planet finally blows
I will surely care
(And I ll buy your shuttle ticket to nowhere)

CHORUS


Things here are getting pretty scary
This once-coercive planet is getting weary
Thousands of years of abuse
Now the oceans are gonna flood
And the sun is going to kill
Was it written in all the prophecies?
I wouldn t be surprised
Don t cover your daunted eyes
And be ready to accept your new life
In a dark and airless universe
(brief panicky solo)

The truth is that this planet is going unsteady
So take me aboard I think I m ready!
