lyrics

Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers

Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers

Martians and rovers and Martians and science
Martians and rovers and Martians and science
We put a rover on Mars because SCIENCE
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers

Martians and rovers and rovers and lasers
Martians and rovers and rovers and lasers
I don’t think the Martians know the rovers have lasers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers

Martians and rovers and lasers and space rocks
Martians and rovers and lasers and space rocks
Rovers use lasers to blow up some space rocks
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers

One piece of ionized glowing space rock plasma gets observed
But when I think about what might happen if we ever found Martian life
I have to admit, I get a bit perturbed

Does CENTCOM have a plan for this, or is it JPL
Who makes the decisions here, are the United Nations involved?
Do we kill the Martian life for science, do we try to bring it alive back to Earth
I saw a movie about that once, it ended in a really disgusting alien birth
I’m pretty sure that won’t happen, but I’m not sure what will, and that makes me feel unsettled
And I am on the side of science but sometimes I don’t trust people

Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Spoiler alert, we’re the alien invaders
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers

Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
Martians and rovers and Martians and rovers
