Space Station Number 9


The movers and the shakers

Are getting into line

They’re fighting over window seats

To Space Station Number 9

 

There goes the software manufacturer

With the man selling electric cars

But if the public pays for it

The windows should have bars

 

Throw in some sports team owners

And presidents of banks

Politicians aren’t the only ones

Thrown into the ranks

 

Include all the billionaires

Who profit and thrive

While their greatest discoveries

Are the brains they buy

 

Take the bones of Prince Philip

And Leona Helmsley

And start a new religion

Where the star-riders can flee

 

Make it a one-way ticket

For these bastards to take

And I’ll pay with my taxes

Without a complaint

 

But I know in the end

That it’s all a pipe-dream

The aliens would never allow it

It seems

 

“You break it, you bought it”

They say with a grin

“We’ve got enough fuck-ups of our own

To take any more in”
