Oh those noble spacemen astronauts
Watched from a cave their launch
Then weather changed
And safely out from earshot 
At highest extension possible 
People mentioned what they had thought of them

Congratulations from a town in leprosy 
Well done said foot trod on in single file
Outstanding achievement said unemployment 
Superb feat to mould into truncheon 
In bid for leadership afterwards

In space and preparing saying
“Well done, Astronaut men!
 We have taken human science 
 And grafted on plastic red nose
 There is nothing in a test tube 
 You cannot batter down with gold
 Why governments fear such progress
 Because they’ve already saw it explode!”

Personality Actor Presenter? Radio or television?
Your agent phoned! Emergency show!
Direct to our studio for a few days
Live entertainment delay from space 
Filled by guest entertainers
New singles and ball results
Personality Actor Presenter signed procedural contract papers

In space, rehearse what to broadcast
To down on Earth?
First out gate is to look down upon
That multitude that were avoiding results 
Of businessmen in space all their weight
Escaped gravity but weight of argument 
Indulgence a dog urinating on post equivalent humans
What kings when return to control every parliament
Into surrendering power to obscenely wealthy 
To do whatever they want and with impunity 
See, we gave space travel a red nose!
Shown all you need isn’t love instead controlled!
Seeing as rich enough to leave playground 
Sawn-off shotguns left to fend yourselves!

Attempted tell every cave spread
If walk goes wrong and burning up
In orbit perfect reflect on failure
Is that closest trickle down 
Millionaire burning up or forever drift
Are there any other caves out there
Who realised what is worse
Is when those imposter spacemen 
Return to our caves here on Earth.
