We are all co-pilots of spaceship Earth
We are out of control.
We have lost control.
Our air-locks are threatened by cosmic rays.
Invasions from the wounded galaxies by the ectoplasmic leeches of pure enthusiasm and the soul's erection of joy.
Our portholes are daubed with mind-eating acids that corode our perspex shields of vision.
Our computers have gone crazy and are in need of electro-therapy.
Our fuel tanks dream of explosion; taste and scent phones send messages of peace from long lost earth.
We are all co-pilots of spaceship Earth.
Your captain is dead.
Your Captain is speaking.
Your captain is dead.
This is your captain speaking.
Your captain is dead.
He's dead!
He's dead!
He's dead!
He's dead!

Set the scene are we obscene?
We don't like the sensors idea of clean
We step out without a doubt
About the necessity to scream & shout
Our love is strong it can't be wrong
To bring on the govern-mental swan song
Chase 'em hard it's your back yard
Liberate & generate the food for the starved
Living my life from under a rock
I rarely barely notice when the bailiffs knock
I only seem to find just one odd sock
Tick tock tick tock watch the clock
Living my life from under a glass
We all know the hit parade was a farce
Continually climbing up its own arse
Don't worship your new god & your new god is money
You worship your new god & your new god is money
Don't worship your new god & your new god is money
You worship your new god & your new god is money
