 guitar intro:
You  know, some times I'm so fed up with things,
 I wanna pack my  bags and leave.
Leave  the whole world behind,
 Ain't comin'  back any time soon.
But  where am I supposed to go
 When there ain't no air to breathe
 And no one  to talk to
 On the moon?
 So I'm asking  all the children to quit wasting  time
 With music  that's been so  auto-tuned
 And stand  on the sholders of Galilei
 To learn  how to  fly up and  fabricate
 An atmosphere on the moon.
 Now you may wonder, you may ask
 Why is it that I want to steal
 All the fun away
 From the younger generation.
 Well, you know I would do it all myself
 'Cause it sounds like fun to me,
 But I just don't seem to have
 The imagination.
   N/
 (With an atmosphere) we can have the rain and flowers grow.
   N/
 (With an atmosphere) sun on the bright side, dark side and there's snow.
   N/
 (With an atmosphere) so much of land, spreading far and wide.
   N/
 (With an atmosphere) we'll make an ocean, and the earth can bring the tide.
 Ha ha ha
 (continues from here 1/2 step up, in Bb)
 So why go through the trouble
 when we have everything we need right here.
 Why not just stop fighting each other
 and live in peace.
 Well we've been tryin' and tryin' and tryin'
 for so many thousands of years.
 But nothing seems to work, so I'm gonna live
 on a big piece of cheese
 up another 1/2 step to B
 The coda is the last four bars of the chorus repeated several times.
