History's been told through aperture
The eye observes lie
The future in shades of black and white
Cast the shadows dim the truth
No wasted film, no rehearsal
You'll never see the color of the truth
Intangible haze, denial sinking teeth deep into the
naive
Huston we've found the best solution to the problem
at hand
Lights, camera, action
Give me quiet on the set, and turn your focus to
forgery
Fake the voyage young cadet, remember your lines
It's "One small step for mankind"
Make them believe
Make them believe that we've won the race
We are the power, we set the pace
Don't close the hatch
Caution to the crosshairs
The last thing we need is a skeptic, a cynic, a
smoking gun
The race is underway, but we've already won
Cast the shadows, dim the truth
No wasted film, no rehearsal
Shot down, gutted, and stuffed
A thirty billion dollar eagle's landed amongst white
sand
America snorts up the dust that the capsules kicking
up
It buries the rotten bird
Give me quiet on the set, and turn your focus to
forgery
Fake the voyage young cadet, remember your lines
It's "One small step for mankind"
Make them believe
Make them believe that we've won the race
We are the power, we set the pace
Don't close the hatch
We'll shoot
We'll shoot the moon
Transcend the futile task
Diluted reality
Give me quiet on the set, and turn your focus to
forgery
Fake the voyage young cadet, remember your lines
It's "One small step for mankind"
Make them believe
Make them believe that we've won the race
We are the power, we set the pace.
