Going Off to War

In a land that worships freedom
Information makes us kings
People have the right to gather
Knowledge where it springs

We demand an open forum
Where the masses can be heard
License free and legally
To air the people's word

It's just you and me and liberty
Going off to fight with the FCC
It's our right to speak that serves to set us free
So we’re going off to fight with the FCC
Yes we’re going off to war with the FCC

How do we change a government
That takes our rights away
Tells us we can't speak our minds
Because we cannot pay

Our freedom is too valuable
To quit without a fight
It's time to make a final stand
And broadcast in the light

It's just you and me and liberty
Going off to fight with the FCC
It's our right speak that serves to set us free
So we’re going off to fight with the FCC
Yes we’re going off to war with the FCC

Spaceships, spaceships
Over the hill, over my head
Spaceships, spaceships
I think I’ll stay in bed

Spaceships, spaceships
Up in the air, stuck in a tree
Spaceships, spaceships
Look what they’ve done to me

Spaceships, spaceships
Going to school, making the grade
Spaceships, spaceships
I think I’ll fly away

Spaceships, spaceships
Taking up space, sucking up air
Spaceships, spaceships
Nobody wants them here

Spaceships, spaceships
Learning to fly, learning to land
Spaceships, spaceships
Let’s give them all a hand

Jammies

I fill my jammies in the night
Oh, I fill my jammies in the night
I like to wake up with my jammies full of jam
Oh, I fill my jammies in the night

I scrub my jammies in the tub
Oh, I scrub my jammies in the tub
I scrub the muck stuff from my jammies while I bathe
Oh, I scrub my jammies in the tub

I dry my jammies on the range
Oh, I dry my jammies on the range
Char likes to build up on my jammies while they bake
Oh, I dry my jammies on the range

I clean my bathtub once a year
Oh, I clean my bathtub once a year
Crud starts to gather in the corners and the cracks
Oh, I clean my bathtub once a year

The bugs eat the droppings on the floor
Oh, the bugs eat the droppings on the floor
Ants like to gather all the little chunks of meat
Oh, the bugs eat the droppings on the floor

Extra verse:
I praise the father and the son
Oh, I praise the father and the son
I like to worship in the house where they reside
Oh, I praise the father and the son

We're all going down to Pleasant Creek
To worship in the sanctuary of the fission beast
To pray that we can purify the power we released
Yes we're all going down to Pleasant Creek

Bye bye

(I was actually in quite a good mood when I wrote this.)

Start tying the noose
I’m dying today
I’ve got to be departing life
Bye bye, bye bye

If I can hang myself
Then I can free myself
I've got to die
Bye bye, bye bye
