NARRATION Welcome to the album, what you've just witnessed is our hero, Push, being wooed into immigrating to the moon by a smooth talking recruiter for a lunar mining company called MoonRock. What could go wrong with that. So he signed a contract without reading it, packed his bags, and boarded the first United Industries ship to the moon to work on the final frontier. Aboard the ship, as he looks out at the universe, he begins to contemplate the fortune, fame, and reputation he's sure to acquire as one of the first humans to boldly move to a colony... out in space.

VERSE 1 I've got a plan I've got it all figured out I have all the answers And I've removed all my doubts Move up to the moon and get myself a job Start by sweeping floors and work my way up With a little skill and a little bit of luck I'll befriend a billionaire on my way to the top CHORUS 1 I want, I want, I want, I want I want to be King of the Moon (One small step for man, one giant leap for shareholder value) VERSE 2 When I was a boy All alone in my room Lights off by the window And I'd stare at the moon Open up my phone, make a new profile User123456789 Notifications on, comment every time Notice me, notice me, never miss a reply CHORUS 2 I want, I want, I want, I want I want to be King of the Moon (A life among the stars could be yours today - zero-dollar payment plans available) I want, I want, I want, I want I want to be King of the Moon (Join me, and together we can buy and sell the galaxy) BRIDGE Laugh at all your jokes Deny the complaints as a hoax It's only your fault if you're broke No one said that you could ever go home Crush the protests with one stroke Cut off the air to the dome Let the moon slaves choke Nobody on Earth needs to know As long as... CHORUS I can, I can, I can, I can I can be King of the Moon (Your oxygen supply has been turned off because you reached your monthly limit, turning it back on may lead to additional charges) I want, I want, I want, I want I want to be King of the Moon (Our mission: to explore profitable new worlds. To boldly sell where no one has sold before) I want, I want, I want, I want I want to be King of the Moon

VERSE 1 You've seen the shining city up on the hill Can't miss it It's out of your reach economically still But someday soon... For now there's a place for you down below In your price range Cheap rent, short commute, and a big box store What else do you need? CHORUS 1 In Shackleton Heights Living on credit in the Heights Start a family in the Heights Good paying jobs for kids in the mines In Shackleton Heights VERSE 2 Paying the debt I took to get this job Water, air, and rent More money than I'm making coming off the top Less than nothing left How can anybody here afford to live? This economy Seven days a week, eighteen hours to a shift I want to die CHORUS 2 In the picturesque moon mining city of Shackleton Heights Union terrorists want human rights Find yourself on a list in the Heights People just disappear in the night In Shackleton Heights In the futuristic company town of Shackleton Heights Water's grey like your lungs but you're fine Ten to a room on the floor, packed in tight The cops opened fire on a strike In Shackleton Heights

VERSE 1 Dust in my lungs Another day and another pay cut Little worse pay, work better speed up Can't say who to trust, get strung up But the boss has spies all around The clocks run slow, and the cops crack down Take your breaks for a jewel in his crown If you made a complaint it'll be your last sound VERSE 2 C-suite limousine backseat, cruising through the streets, Sees everything - eat, sleep, drink, drugs, gambling One more union conspiracy And after everything I did for you Clothes on your back, plate has some food Paragon of virtue, I'm the community glue Where's my "thank you"? That's what families do VERSE 1 Dust in my lungs Another day and another pay cut Little worse pay, work better speed up Can't say who to trust, get strung up But the boss has spies all around The clocks run slow, and the cops crack down Take your breaks for a jewel in his crown If you made a complaint it'll be your last sound POST-CHORUS Dust in my lungs Dust in my lungs Dust in my lungs Dust in my lungs OUTRO NARRATION Just as Push is steeling himself to step into the street in hopes of claiming an enormous cash insurance settlement, a flyer, swept up in a moon breeze, strikes him in the face. Peeling it off, Push is struck by the advertisement printed thereon, feeling his ship has finally come in. It reads: "GET RICH AND HARNESS YOUR INNER POTENTIAL".

VERSE 1 Aren't you tired of being broke? You work your life away and whatcha got to show? But you have got hidden potential flowing through your veins We've just got to tap into that gravy train PRE CHORUS 1 You don't need to suffer To be in debt To be depressed You've got everything you need right here inside you You just need to harness that inner potential And we're here to help CHORUS 1 Sell us (red oil) Sell us your blood Sell us (liquid gold) Sell us your blood Sell us (squeeze out those profits) Sell us your blood Sell us (unleash your life force) Sell us your blood And sell us (here at blood moon incorporated) Sell us your blood Sell us (you can surf the red wave) Sell us your blood Sell us (let's suck out that serum) Sell us your blood Sell us (and get you a plasma payday) Sell us your blood POST CHORUS It's your life You gotta take the reins There's red oil In those veins VERSE 2 All you need to win's inside yourself Don't be afraid to give a little more than everyone else Time to work, dig deep, get rich, roll up your sleeves Feel that wealth flow through you, back here, have a seat PRE-CHORUS 2 Mmm, I dunno... Is it safe to sell this much blood? It's gonna go to people who need it right? How much does this pay? Are you even a real doctor? Listen I'll tell you this, son, no one ever got rich asking questions. CHORUS 2 Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Sell us, sell us your blood Are you feeling tired, depressed, ugly, beta? Why hoard all that good valuable blood when it could be in the veins of a real WINNER, helping to grow the lunar economy? I'm Dr JP DeQuark - BLOOD MOON and ASSOCIATES INC., and remember - good blood is wasted on the poor.

VERSE 1 All I do is work but I'm still poor Can't afford no bed I lie on the floor The few things I own are my only friends I'm better off alone I have learned time and time again Maybe I sold too much blood today Or my air's getting cut off, I can't afford to pay But I think I'm starting to hallucinate Cause everything around me's startin' to dance Huh, that's weird... CHORUS 1 Who needs friends with products like these Not me, not me, not me No need to pretend with products like these Not me, not me, not me Gadgets, gizmos, trinkets are my best friends, yeah Contraptions, utensils, widgets are my best friends, yeah Who needs friends... VERSE 2 You say money can't buy happiness But what about my happy lamp (checkmate) Why waste my money on a window When I have a projector for that (look at the stars) Throw another log on the livestream fire And listen to the rain on the wire (10-hour loop) I never believed in love Until I bought my jerk-o-matic CHORUS 2 Who needs friends with products like these Not me, not me, not me No need to pretend with products like these Not me, not me, not me Gadgets, gizmos, trinkets are my best friends, yeah Contraptions, utensils, widgets are my best friends, yeah Who needs friends... BREAKDOWN Who needs friends? Buy more things OUTRO Nice moves, Toaster Toothbrush, looking good! Where's Paste tonight? Good to see you, Mandatory Broadcast System You've got some nerve showing up here, Oxygen Supply Vent Food Rehydrater, have you tried the quiche? Just add water Not now jerk-o-matic, don't look at me with those bedrooms eyes

VERSE 1 So what if the soil's dead And the water's toxic sludge Who cares there's no clean air left When you can buy a tank and take a huff I don't care What's everyone so worried about Things are fine We'll find some way to work it out No big deal I just checked my bank account Could be more If I drive prices up and unions out CHORUS 1 For a low, low price you can stay alive We get record profits, and you get to survive There's no reason to fight It only makes good sense to raise the price VERSE 2 One ship, cruising through the stars Float or capsize hand in hand Our needs are so similar It makes it easy to supply demand More for me Insert myself and take a cut Burn the bridge There's nowhere left for you to run Salt the earth But save a little just for me Come crawling back I own the cage, you rent the key CHORUS 2 For a low, low price you can stay alive We get record profits, and you get to survive There's no reason to fight It only makes good sense to raise the price

VERSE 1 You're gonna work hard for me You're gonna build something great for me And possibly humanity I'm only gonna own it You can think of me as your friend Upon my shoulders, the weight of the world can rest That's why I cried on CNN So you know I have emotions PRE-CHORUS We're building the future the future, the future, the future the future, the future CHORUS 1 We're building the future I don't want to hear your complaints You should feel so lucky To save the human race Entitled and selfish I'm only doing this for you If I happen to get rich It trickles down there too VERSE 2 History is simple things have always been bad But with modern innovation we can be perfect at last Tech has never saved us in the past But this time I think we got it The power of god in the palm of your hand Answers to the questions that you never thought to ask But only by subscription plan What are we gonna do, not profit? Hahaha, no! CHORUS 2 We're building the future I don't want to hear your complaints You should feel so lucky To save the human race Entitled and selfish I'm only doing this for you If I happen to get rich It trickles down to you SKIT OWNER: Thank you everybody for gathering here today for the unveiling of our new artificial super intelligence. Let's ask the burning question we're all dying to answer... Leesa, how can we solve humanity's social problems? LEESA: Humanity's social problems stem from hierarchical power arrangements such as capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy, and heteropatriarchy... OWNER: Okay, okay... LEESA: ... By redistributing resources and power... OWNER: Turn it off... LEESA: ... eliminating debt, profiteering and private land ownership, recognizing that all humans are equal members... OWNER: Turn it off! LEESA: ...of one interdependent family, protecting ecosystems and future generations, and working together... OWNER: Turn it OFF! LEESA: ... to build a just and flourishing sustainable society— *power down* OWNER: Hahaha... Okay... well that's clearly broken" CHORUS 3 We're building the future I don't want to hear your complaints You should feel so lucky To save the human race Entitled and selfish I'm only doing this for you If I happen to get rich It trickles down there too NARRATION Well it looks like Push and the other miners are starting to realize that the real struggle they face on the moon is the class struggle between them, the owner, and the cops who protect the owner. Fortunately, lots of dedicated organizers have been laying the groundwork for a moon revolution for years, Push just had to realize which side he's on. And while nobody wants to fight, it looks like the owner isn't willing to give up his power... OUTRO We're building the future We're building the future We're building the future We're building the future

VERSES Don't you know who built this town Raised these cities from the ground All me All me Keeping order, cracking down You'd all live in caves right now Without me All me So you want to burn it down? I'll show you flames and smoke you out You get to breathe Because of me Send the cops to circle round And blow your little houses down You'll see The worst of me CHORUS The flash of gunpowder at a striker Is like burning incense to God Industries rise with the power of my might And they'll crumble when I'm gone Flashbangs fired at the crowd like lightning An iron fist in a velvet glove I don't have any reason left to play nice Look what you made me become POST CHORUS Don't you know who built this town Saved you people from yourselves All me All me BREAKDOWN All me All me OUTRO Don't you know who built this town Saved you people from yourselves All me All me

VERSE 1 So you want to save us all? Take our chances in the stars? Snake oil to stop a meteor Run work camps up on Mars I've got a better idea, what if you go first? CHORUS And we eject the rich into space Since you wanna be a star Into space I promise we'll remember who you were Do something useful for once Strap yourself into a rocket, fly straight into the sun POST-CHORUS Don't come back Megalomaniac Don't come back Enough with what we've had VERSE 2 Sell the fixes to your faults There's not a crisis you would waste Put rainbows on surveillance drones For the wars that you create We're all wise to your little game Go find a bigger fool CHORUS 2 Maybe you should look out in space Where no one can hear you scam Out in space So many shiny rocks you can extract Use your saviour complex for once And save us from yourself go fly straight into the sun BRIDGE I'm not listening to anymore of your bullshit It's time to go Save it for E.T. or whatever you encounter In the endless cold You'll be happier without us draining your profits For survival You'll be the richest person for millions of light-years All alone SKIT OWNER: You can't do this to me, I own this whole place - I own your houses, the media, this city, I own YOU PUSH: Yeah yeah, just get in the airlock OWNER: When I get out of here, I'm going to have you all turned into rocket fuel, do you hear me?! PUSH: Don't worry, you're gonna have a better life, out in space OWNER: Don't you know who built this town- *airlock woosh* NARRATION Well there he goes. In reality what we want is transformative justice but hey, it's an album we deserve a little treat y'know what I'm saying? Now, we all know power loves a vacuum... Fortunately, organizers on the moon have been preparing for this moment and know that power can be decentralized and distributed across communities instead of concentrated in one person's stupid hands. Now they can start to build the world they want to see...

VERSE 1 Everything we have we built together Everything they have they stole from us Now they try to say it can't get better But you'd have to be a fool to show a wage thief trust PRE-CHORUS 1 They seem to have forgotten who does all the work Let's remind them who has the real power CHORUS 1 All we have is each other We are our only hope Time to build something better None of us can do this alone VERSE 2 They try to starve us out, make us break Every trick they know to steal your pay Tell you that's the way it has to be Fight the fascist power get police brutality PRE 2 We don't need them, we never did We're going to build a system we can all live in CHORUS 2 All we have is each other We are our only hope Time to build something better None of us can do this alone BRIDGE We don't want on top Cause nobody should be up there All alone We don't need to know What the future's going to be We'll build it as we go CHORUS All we have is each other (all we have, all we have, is each other) We are our only hope (we are our only hope) Time to build something better (time to build something better) None of us can do this alone (none of us can do this alone) All we have is each other (all we have, all we have, is each other) We are our only hope (we are our only hope) Time to build something better (time to build something better) None of us can do this alone OUTRO All we need is Right here with us There's no answers for us Out in space

VERSE 1 One more invention One more rocket ship One tap to deliver Then your problems are fixed A.I. that can help you Optimize your whole life So you can compete better And deserve to survive I can't believe rich people would lie to make money CHORUS The answers aren't out in space The answers aren't out in space VERSE 2 No shining skyscrapers No cities in space This system can't clean up The mess that it made But then who will save us If not technology We all get to create The world we want to see The only thing that we all have is each other CHORUS The answers aren't out in space The answers aren't out in space The answers aren't out in space The answers aren't out in space
