Sometimes it snows and sometimes it sleets Sometimes it rains down rocket debris Please pardon our progress And disregard the mess It's just a-rocket science And baby, we're trying our best There's a hubris to man, a complexity of ours To hate half of your own and wanna colonize Mars If they cared about you And if they cared about me They'd make a big ol' rocket Everybody could eat How many meals and how much water How many sons and how many daughters Could be saved with the money it takes To play with rockets At least we know it ain't comin' Out of me and you's pockets Thank God no-one was aboard And thank God nobody died It's kinda nice to see a big government firework And it ain't even the fourth of July
