CyberHippie Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Moon song The Moon song Dave Hook Copyright 2004 Well it’s one small step for man And one giant leap for mankind Those were the scripted words for Neil Armstrong, On July 20th 1969 That grainy footage shown on TV At one time actually convinced me But how do we really know? Because Walter Cronkite told us so? I say No man has ever walked on the moon Now before you dismiss me as a loon Listen to the facts and you may even find A story that just might change your mind You see it all started back in 62 JFK told the people what he would do Put a man on the moon by the decades end Land, and bring them safely home again He was a great speaker we all know And he even banged Marilyn Monroe, He was also just a politician, But Jack knew Jack shit, about the complexities of any space mission Now NASA had to get their ass in gear And suddenly their hearts were full of fear The Russians were way ahead of them in the space race Now Kennedy was setting them all up for disgrace Their funding stood at about a couple BILL Would not admit defeat, and never will So they said… If we can’t make it, then we’ll fake it If we can’t do it, then screw it We’ll film it in the desert, or on a sound stage And put it on the TV and the front page We’ll shoot it all in black and white Even though we got a color camera on the flight We’ll bring jeeps, but bring no telescopes? We’ll hit some golf balls all around, Then stick a flag into the ground That should be enough for the boob tube watching dopes There are dangers about space travel most don’t know Radiation gets more intense the farther out you go It starts at about 1000 miles out Go farther than that and die, there’s no doubt Unless you shield yourself with 8 feet of lead Any less than that, and surely you’d be dead But to build a ship like that, why even try It would be much too heavy to ever fly Kennedy thought this was plausible NASA knew it was impossible But they still wanted to get paid So they said to themselves… If we can’t make it, then we’ll fake it If we can’t do it, then screw it We’ll film it in the desert, or on a sound stage And put it on the TV and the front page We’ll bring extra lighting just for fun Even though the only light source is the sun But we need them for the photos were going to take No photos of stars or other stuff, Some young astronomer may call our bluff It never can come out it all was fake Cause it’s much too dangerous to really go, On live TV? I don’t fucking think so We’ll tape the whole thing in advance For an unhappy ending we can not take the chance 3 dead astroNOTS would not boost moral And anyway we’ll be long dead before they cry foul We’ll show some them meteors we found on earth if they want proof When you control the media you control the truth Full body photos of Neil on the moon, there are only two And he has never ever granted an interview But this does not leave me too surprised Ask him no questions, and he’ll tell you no lies He knows They couldn’t make it, so they faked it They couldn’t do it, and said, “Screw it” They filmed it in the desert on a sound stage And put it on the TV and the front page Sent a satellite feed of their con To a few on the ground who knew what was going on Then beamed it out to the all the excited folks They were never 25, 000 miles away George Bush say’s were going back someday… But the first time around it was a hoax They slowed the film, and hid the wires Very clever fucking liars, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 quote:Originally posted by CyberHippie: Well it’s one small step for man And one giant leap for mankind The thing that I find the most amusing is that, while that cute little line was indeed scripted for him, he screwed it up. It should have been: "...one small step for a man, and one giant leap for mankind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 It was probably quite hot in the Arizona desert that day, let alone being kooped up in a crazy 'space suit', I guess you can't really blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
