This was a weird one, The song was originally written to be a pop-punk quirky song, but I was fiddling around with some guitar licks and ended up with something that just felt right. I have been trying to improve vocal layering to make a convincing choir despite being one person. This song started with one phrase: "space is cool, earth is not, let's go f some cosmonauts." Even though i never used that line, I wanted to pay it respect by putting it in the title.
We got Ice in the desert, and the coast is on fire
The sky is alight, with dreams and desires,
The rich keeps putting money into ships to get higher
Seems everybody wants out of the shit que the choir
This planet is on fire,
You can see it on the news,
While every corporations selling,
lab coats are singing the blues,
So I say fuck the carbon footprints
And let’s recycle the rich,
Spend the money on space suits
And rocket ships,
The earth is fucked,
We burned it to the ground,
To build nuclear weapons
And jets that don’t make a sound
We are always prepping for war,
As we bleed this planet dry,
And as we have a chance to fix it all,
We start looking to the sky
Space is cool,
Earth is bad,
We burned it all in our labs,
We’re all fucked,
Sorry lads,
We’re bailing out,
For other lands,
Except no,
Unless your rich,
No Noah’s arch,
No rocket ships,
No ticket off
This ball of shit,
Best fix it yourself,
Cause life’s a bitch.

Well, say it like it is!! Very cool music to back up these cool lyrics. That opening line really sets the scene.

This had me laughing so hard! Pure dark humor. The little bits of distortion add an extra element of ridiculousness to the song. Love it! lol
