"Spaceman" lyrics

"Spaceman"

Way high, so high
Travelin' fast and free
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you see
Can you see the hunger there
Strike without a sound?
Can you see the food you burn
As you circle round?

Way high, so high
All the world will cheer
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you hear
Can you hear a child cry
Body filled with pain?
Deadly sores when cures are there
How much fuel remains?

Way high, so high
Spaceship made of steel
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you feel
Can you feel the money gone
As you sail through space?
Can you feel how many die
When you win the race?

Way high, so high
Travelin' fast and free
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you see
