Supercommuter - It Is Splendid! 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 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 [bleep] deleted He said, "OK, please be seated" I am piloting my life Where am I going? I find That I'm a**uming 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 a**uming 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 a**uming that I'll Just be commuting meanwhile I am piloting my life Where am I going? I find That I'm a**uming that I'll Just be commuting meanwhile
