Is Planet Earth spinning out of control
And if it is, how would we even know?
When the faces that sell us the nightly news
Are no longer telling us half the truth
They say we need to find some other place
In order to save the whole human race
It's all the fault of the man-made machines
The blue marble where we live is no longer green
So we would be heroes
And we would be stars
If we were the first
Man and woman on Mars
Starting a new cosmic family
The hope for all humanity
I'll try not to be a Major Tom
You'll be the very first Martian Mom
Hand in hand
We'll do all that we must
Ashes to ashes
Red dust to red dust
From here up high Earth still looks quite the same
It makes me wonder... was it only just a game?
Or who or what if anything's to blame?
Is it only someone's crusade for fortune and fame?
We finally landed on Planet Four
Took years and years and maybe more
This one small step is a leap for mankind
We must have been out of our mind
So we could be heroes
And we could be stars
Cause we are the first
Man and woman on Mars
Starting a new cosmic family
The hope for all humanity
I'll try not to be a Major Tom
You'll be the very first Martian Mom
Hand in hand
We'll do all that we must
Ashes to ashes
Red dust to red dust
Ground control
Do you read me loud and clear
What do we do now
Now that we are here
Come in Ground control
Is anyone still there?
Is there anyone alive
Who really cares?
So we can be heroes
And we can be stars
Cause we are the first
Man and woman on Mars
We started a new cosmic family
The hope for all humanity
I tried not to be a Major Tom
You are the very first Martian Mom
Hand in hand
We'll do all that we must
Ashes to ashes
Red dust to red dust
