[Verse 1: 2020]
Well since 1969 it seems NASA has been wasting time
But it’s fine
We have entered our prime
Now it’s time to break free from the dime
The battle against tackling interplanetary travel, well that sh*t is just organized crime
Said the battle against tackling interplanetary travel, that sh*t is just government grime
And we tune in at night to watch the news, see who’s in the spot light, drink some booze and watch highlights
But we abuse the rights of dudes who’s muse is to get into spacesuits and cruise twilight
So we gotta get on up into this race
Outta this Earth into outer space
God damn
I cannot stay in this place with it’s war and division and great lack of space
God damn
Fire the engines and run all your tests cuz it’s time to launch rockets of grace
God damn
God is so last century
And science is destined to be
Good
Human beings have come so far
So why the hell aren’t we on Mars
Where are all the flying cars
Why do we not aim for the stars
Rich pricks smoke their big cigars
We could be heading for a planet that’s organic and ours
Rich pricks smoke their big cigars
But that little red planet, we can make it ours
[Chorus: 2020]
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn we made it ours
Come on, come on, reach for the stars
Everybody up in here is bound for Mars
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn time we made it ours
Get out your cars, hit up the bars
And tell your friends how we're bound for Mars
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn we made it ours
Come on, come on, reach for the stars
Everybody up in here is bound for Mars
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn time we made it ours
Get out your cars, hit up the bars
And tell your friends how we're bound for Mars
[Verse 2: 2020]
I know it’s not a plot that comes easy
But we ought to be far more speedy
The Mars Project came out in '53
Wernher Von Braun had an idea to be
Up into space, 'fore we even hit the moon
It would be a damn shame if we don’t take off soon
The planet is dying, the people are multiplying and flying to Mars is no longer a cartoon
Ready, aim, shoot
*Houston come in, this rocket must deposit the passengers within*
So stack up the loot, produce the fuel, research the rules, apply your tools and get moving
Got to explore more space frontiers, rebuild out there, get out of here
This is not the time to veer, we’ve f*cked the Earth far worse than feared
But this is not the time for fear, we’ve learned so much and space is near
God damn, like I said (God is last century)
And science is destined to be
Good
Human beings have come so far
So why the hell aren’t we on Mars
Where are all the flying cars
Why do we not aim for the stars
Rich pricks smoke their big cigars
We could be heading for a planet that’s organic and ours
Rich pricks smoke their big cigars
But that little red planet, we can make it ours
[Hook: 2020]
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn we made it ours
Come on, come on, reach for the stars
Everybody up in here is bound for Mars
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn time we made it ours
Get out your cars, hit up the bars
And tell your friends how we're bound for Mars
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn we made it ours
Come on, come on, reach for the stars
Everybody up in here is bound for Mars
Yep, we’re bound for Mars
‘Bout god damn time we made it ours
Get out your cars, hit up the bars
And tell your friends how we're bound for Mars
[Verse 3: 2020]
And we’ve paved the way, brought dreams to life
Now all we gotta do is get it right
Stars shine so bright, but not black and white
The prism breaks out the prisoners, the other colored light
And God damn
I will jam out about the droughts, the lack of clouds, the bouts with our new kind
Think of what we’re still to find, still to mine, still to discover and fly, still to try, still to deny, still to get by, still set eyes on and find why
Yeah, you could stay and scrape by
Or you could be part of the plan, and just say bye
Money has hindered the launch and the build of a city, a pity, but it’s destiny
They said with some money that by 2020 we’d have something built on the moon guaranteed
20 years later I’m writing this tune
20 years later I’m skipping the moon
20 years later I’m calling for all to be getting on board with a serious move
