about

Also titled 'So Long, Branson'. Billionaires spend millions on space travel while large numbers of our populations live in poverty. Do we honestly believe they have our best interests at heart?

lyrics

We're building a big rocket with space for all our shoes,
With bitcoin in our pocket, we've nothing left to lose.
We're training up the robots to fight the final war
With obsolescent humans that we don't need any more.

Now we've messed up the planet let's throw it in the bin,
Cos there's no future in it, so let's begin again.
We'll fly the flag of fortune, abandon everyone
Cos only perfect people should circle round the sun.

One day there will be life on Mars
All trillionaires in swanky cars
On Mars, there'll be no working class;
It's the perfect place for psychopaths.

If you're rich and famous, or you're in the news
And you're not ashamed of your reactionary views
If you see no evil when evil's on parade,
Why don't you come and join us
In our noble cavalcade?

One day there will be life on Mars
All trillionaires in swanky cars
On Mars, there'll be no working class;
It's the perfect place for psychopaths.
A planet swathed in poison gas
A psychedelic orange mass
Yes, we'll have won the human race.
Is that a smile upon your face?
