Spaceship

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like my mind is ticking
As twice as quick as two times the rhythm
Divided by twenty-four times by seven
That's fifty-two weeks of that crime for nothing
I'm tired of living these shite conditions
That put me in corners and tight positions
Exploiting these stories of borderline living
They want me to slave for a couple of shillings
They can't be serious man
I been in the van
I been on the road
And been in the roof
I gave them the truth
I tightened my belt
Before I need help
In hangin' myself
They better believe
I'm coming for real
I'm signing my name
And sealing the deal
I got all my people behind me
You ready? I'm ready, ready steady go

[Chorus]
Where do we go? Nobody knows
It's lonely down here
I'll bring the plans and you bring the parts
Let's build a spaceship

[Verse 2]
This morning I went from a terrible slumber
And stood in the line comparing the number
That everyone else who was waiting for service
And realised I'm more than the part of a perfectly
Planned solution of retribution
To crush revolution through constitution
They dangled a carrot in front of my face
To stop me from running for food for thought
They must be kidding me dude
I've been in Prahran
And out to Peru
Then back to Japan
I've travelled the world
In search of the truth
And got me a pair
Of all of their shoes
I know we decide
To walk in the life
Of everyone else
Who's trying to survive
I got all my people behind me
You ready I'm ready let's get them, let's go

[Chorus]
Where do we go? Nobody knows
It's lonely down here
I'll bring the plans and you bring the parts
Let's build a spaceship
Let's build a spaceship
Let's build a spaceship

[Verse 3]
One, two, tighten your shoe
Stand in the line and you'll never do
Anything that they don't tell you to do
You know what they do to people with a clue
Three, four, open the door
But don't look left or try to explore
'Cause left of centre is hard to draw
They'd rather you'd stuck to the rules on the board
They must be pulling my leg
I've been in the front
And pushed to the back
I've stood in the rain
Cold crumbled and shamed
Collapse in the heat
And bounce right back
I'm made of that thing
They hate to admit
They say I'm insane
I say that I'm sick
There's no way I quit
I got all my people behind me
You ready, I'm ready, together let's go

[Chorus]
Where do we go? Nobody knows
It's lonely down here
I'll bring the plans and you bring the parts
Let's build a spaceship
Where do we go? Nobody knows
It's lonely down here
I'll bring the plans and you bring the parts
Let's build a spaceship
Let's build a spaceship
Let's build a spaceship
Let's build a spaceship
Let's build a spaceship
