about

This isn't about the 1996 film, although the message will be unchanged one hundred years from now. Much like the website of the 1996 film.

lyrics

In a hundred years' time
If not more soon
John Brown will be really annoyed
At having to get up
And go to the moon
For a meeting he cannot avoid

And leave on his lonesome
Far back at home
Oswaldo, his faithful Alsatian
With nothing to do
But to chew on a bone
While John's boarding at the Space Station

CHORUS
He'll be trapped in a space Jam
Man can't manouevre
Gridlocked in the great beyond
Lost in a vacuum
(not like a hoover)
Deep inside this darkest pond

He'll switch on a podcast
For 96 hours
And wish that he wasn't alive
Construction delayed
Due to meteor showers
He's stuck on the Z-95

Another delay
In the Transit to Mars
Performing a maintenance check
Sounds like an excuse
To sell hamburger bars
At the Burger King down on C Deck

CHORUS

And he sits, and he fumes
And he thinks of his plight
And he's sure he's forgotten
To turn off the light
And we'd pity this man
Sitting idle in space
If we still have a moon
Or the old human race

CHORUS x 2
