Maribelle - 1969 lyrics

[Sample: Walter Cronkite] Good morning, it's t-minus 1 hour, 29 minutes, and 53 seconds, and counting. Just an hour and a half— on the voyage man always dreamed about. [Verse 1: Seth Sentry] Wake up, wake up, do you know where you are? 1969, welcome to the future Tonight a rocket full of nukes and three heroic men Travel to the moon to blow it up just to prove we can Yeah, tonight we're blowing up the moon Tonight we show the whole world just how smart we are Tonight we prove it doesn't matter how fast you run In the arms race when you're the one that's holding on that starter gun (BAM!) Now take a look at how far we've come Folk that said we couldn't do it, got their data wrong Folk that said we shouldn't do it, need to bite their tongue Look up at the moon for that one last time and get your party on Man, what a perfect afternoon Smell of barbecues and everyone's up on their roofs To watch this rocket shoot up toward moon with just one job to do To blow the f**ing moon up with a nuke before the Russians do [Hook: Matt Cenere] And we don't think twice Blow that b**h up out the god damn sky So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up And the night gets lit up, blow that mother f**ing moon up And we don't know why Just blow that b**h up out the god damn sky So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up And the night gets lit up, blow that mother f**ing moon up [Verse 2: Seth Sentry] My father drew a loaded gun when I was only young He pointed at the sky and said one day we'd blow it up I asked him why, I didn't understand He looked me in the eye and said, "because we f**ing can" I was moronic, too dumb, couldn't see the point of it Like pop, why you wanna war on it, he said what What you wanna walk on it huh My god, don't ask why, ask why not What a time to be alive for get high and watch the sky fall down Yeah, the sky fall down We never needed no reason, blow it up because we can What a marvellous evening, margaritas and beach chairs We're so lucky to see this they'll tell tales of what we did Now bow down to our genius I wish dad could have seen this, so count down the launch sequence One giant leap we go feet first as we finally leave Earth To blow that f**er to pieces the height of human achievement [Hook: Matt Cenere] And we don't think twice Blow that b**h up out the god damn sky So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up And the night gets lit up, blow that mother f**ing moon up And we don't know why Just blow that b**h up out the god damn sky So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up And the night gets lit up, blow that mother f**ing moon up [Verse 3: Seth Sentry] Sssshhh only seconds before the show begins All the nukes have been loaded in The moon hides behind a cloud And now the rocket towers over us It waits motionless, the world frozen we watch I'm reminded of my father with that loaded gun We beat the soviets, we're so victorious The band plays the president takes the podium like "Ladies and gentlemen welcome," I look at the crowd And I see the faces of people all equally tired of blowing sh** up on the ground Well me too, but today is a day to be proud Today is a day you and I can just finally say that we flew to heavens and blew it to hell So now, without no further ado Let's shoot the moon till it's full eclipse Change the tide for our future kids Three cheers in unison, hooligans find a roof to sit Raise your head, blow the moon a kiss, now look how smart us humans is [Outro: Seth Sentry] But this is one small step We hope that one day we can blow up our entire world So remember where you stood the day we blew It start the launch enjoy the fireworks [Sample: Commentary] 10, 9... ignition sequence start... 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0... All engines running. Liftoff! We have a liftoff
