No shiny gold

No jewelled eye

Fighting the man

I pressed the controls

And rockets blazed through the sky

Fighting the man



Whose pretty feet

Are clad in Ruby Shoes?

Fighting the man

These human bones

Already obsolete

Fighting the man

All the way to the bitter end



Avoid the tears

Of something unforeseen

Fighting the man

Expanding techniques

Of this prosthetic brain

Fighting the man

Well, we'll get away from it all

Down amongst the drones

Fighting the man

Alive after wave upon wave

Of galaxians that fall

Fighting the man

All the way to the bitter end



O Happy Days!

Of debt and life support

Fighting the man

A soul will grow old

And eventually will fold

Fighting the man
