It Is Splendid!
guitar chords lyrics
Ah man, why'd they pick me?
I don't want to do it, take a look does it seem
That I think that I gotta prove anything?
I don't want to see another galaxy
I know how they treat these pilots
Low-end air and too much mileage
When you land, gotta avoid violence
Man, I'm annoyed do I really gotta try this?
Yeah? Well I'll say goodbye this
Isn't what I wanted, but I'll act excited
Hey everybody, look at me, I'm invited!
Oprah Winfrey? Oh, I'm delighted!
Another head of a celebrity sighted
Floating by, saying hi to the pilots
Why fight it? I'm all in
Another head of a celebrity sighted
Floating by, saying hi to the pilots
Why fight it? I'm all in
Bon voyage, ‘till we meet again
Now it's time for final preppin'
Shave my head, get a government weapon
Catheter inserted, strechin'
Meet with the father for the last confession
Hmmmm Well you know I cheated
Some things that I did weren't needed
Had my way with a deleted
He said, "OK, please be seated"
I am piloting my life
Where am I going? I find
That I'm assuming that I'll
Just be commuting meanwhile
Ah man, this ship's older than dirt
The AC doesn't even work
Fight off panic call the mechanic
This seat's busted my back hurts!
Hold up now, the ship you showed me
On TV shined like a trophy
Plus there's one thing no one told me
One detail; where the hell are we going?
Ha, they slammed the door
I heard a click, and then not much more
Felt my feet stick to the floor
Autopilot? What do you need me for?
BAM, Like a super nova
Overdrive mode, flow to the lower
Stratosphere, then I don't go slower
Didn't they hear that I know Oprah?
Well, no second chances
Hear the ship shake as the trip advances
My stance is I'll be glad to live
If I ever set foot off this ship
Swear that I'll never take a trip again
And I'll settle down and start wearing cardigans
And I'll kiss the ground, lick the dirt
Slowly make sweet love to Earth
I am piloting my life
Where am I going? I find
That I'm assuming that I'll
Just be commuting meanwhile
See another galaxy
Live a dream a fantasy
Take a path of piloting
Go to the black
It is Splendid
Find another point of view
Do what other people do
It'll make a better you
Go to the black
It is Splendid
Ah man, propaganda like that
got me programmed and strapped
To an ancient ship on a trip that had to be doomed
From the moment they asked me to pack
Console cracked Warp drive rattling
Battling my own mind unraveling
They got me with deceit and flattering
Guess it doesn't matter now, look who's traveling!
I sit back for the journey
Hope this trembling ship is sturdy
Know I'm slow but I am learning
Pay a lotta dough and get a better attorney
No I don't want to seem pessimistic
Only one life and I know I risked it
I know that I should've stepped up, insisted
Had my chance, but I lost it, I missed it!
Me I see that they want to be
On the edge of humanity
Beyond that just to be the first
Well it's not so bad, it could really be worse!
I am piloting my life
Where am I going? I find
That I'm assuming that I'll
Just be commuting meanwhile
I am piloting my life
Where am I going? I find
That I'm assuming that I'll
Just be commuting meanwhile
