about

Public domain Mickey detests selfishness.
This is a song about Laika.
Public domain Mickey would have been kinder.

lyrics

I did not ask to be encased
And sent into the endless dark space
In the name of the human race;
The atrocities of men, and the manifested plans
Of men and mice in mazes.
The moon between its stages and I go on…
A testament to Ikaris I stand.

In the next life , I think I will hear
Of a little dog laughing and crying in fear…
Hauled off into space ,
In the name of the human race
Post haste.
And I don’t know which way to go
Because I can’t see the cheese that’ll show
Me the way


Behaviorists abound at the sites I see
But they don’t give a fuck about me.
And that’s the way that it goes
Then I’m going going gone
See me again and some dumb sci-fi action films 65 years later.
Just another thing that you forgotten about


I said, I I did not ask to be encased
And sent into space
In the name of the human race
The atrocities of man
The manifested plans
And I go on

I’m someone else, I’m somewhere else, I’m listening to you
And if I had $1 billion buddy, I could promise you that I would spend it on some welfare for the man. Not a motherfucking rocket for a privatized space program, and your manifest plans.

And I go on…
