Slingshot

from Finer Times by Caius Hubris

lyrics

“What we wanna do… is change the world.”

When I look back at this place
when I’m in outer space;
I remember finer times
in these lines.
The fact about time is -
it’s limited...
I’ve got this thing to do for everyone.

Yes, now that I got your attention worldwide
You gotta understand I couldn’t land it if I tried.
My little planet looks so peaceful from the outside.
It’s hard to see all the wars and the genocide.
I can’t abide with that so here’s the vision
steal a ship and go to Mars to end all this division
Hook up a shuttle with the ISS and leave
interplanetary piracy’s the only path that I see.
A simple orbit is so easy to keep
But all this going round in circles ain’t changing a damn thing.
Civilization’s been complacent in this generation,
Man I’m losing patience, so I choose a different destination .
I’m sick of waiting for a perfect plan
I’m sick of waiting just to hand the glory over to another man
I finished the calculations up this afternoon
to go to Mars I gotta slingshot around the Moon.

When I look back at this place
when I’m in outer space;
I remember finer times
in these lines.
The fact about time is -
it’s limited...
I’ve got this thing to do for everyone.

Don’t worry my friends, it’s OK...
I can accept a little tragedy.
There’s no safety net I’ll find
worth one small step for mankind.

“The key to the future is not to do less,
it’s to do more with less.
And that, to me, is the future of space exploration.
Now my friends, I am all for everybody flying around in space -
I want to fly in space -
Yes; but Mars...
Mars is a ‘whole nother thing.’”

It's so simple if you think it through:
It's not the place that you’re from that's defining you.
We view the world as if we're different nationalities,
blinded to the fact that we share the same humanity.
‘You can’t take a space station to the promised land.’
Ehh.. you may be right but I’ll be damned if I don’t take the chance
to move man from the Earth to the universe...
or die in space, whatever comes first.

When I look back at this place
when I’m in outer space;
I remember finer times
in these lines.
The fact about time is -
it’s limited...
I’ve got this thing to do for everyone.

Don’t worry my friends, it’s OK...
I can accept a little tragedy.
There’s no safety net I’ll find
worth one small step for mankind.
