The Old Man outside the gates Sings of cars and trucks The Old Man And how this house would shake when an airliner flew overhead And how he’s hope and pray for one merciful face to give him some bread Spacesuits are for Spacemen Not for here on Earth Spacesuits are for Spacemen Oxygen depleted since birth Too little was understood Too little was done Until the Cash Cow was sucked dry We got pushed back into the darkness never to return To those halcyon days of excess Money to burn I inhale my last free air as I exit these gates And enter another hemisphere An un-breathable space Where the sun is now a distant glow far off in the haze I keep a picture of my family and home when life meant something more than rage Spacesuits are for Spacemen Not for here on Earth Spacesuits are for Spacemen Oxygen depleted since birth Now ridiculed and sanitized A suffocated Earth Spacesuits issued, homogenized For those of chosen worth With no place to hide and nowhere left to run We’ve had to face the pain Where the enemy looks a lot like you and me With no aliens to blame Spacesuits are for Spacemen Not for here on Earth Spacesuits are for Spacemen Oxygen depleted since birth ( repeat ) Please replace Please replace Please Please The Old Man outside the gates
