Spaceman Songtext

von Phil Ochs

Way high, so high
Travelin' fast and free.
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you see.
Can you see the hunger there
Strike without a sound?
Can you see the food you burn
As you circle round?

Way high, so high
All the world will cheer.
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you hear.
Can you hear a child cry,
Body filled with pain?
Deadly sores when cures are there--
How much fuel remains?

Way high, so high
Spaceship made of steel.
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you feel.
Can you feel the money gone
As you sail through space?
Can you feel how many die
When you win the race?

Way high, so high
Travelin' fast and free.
Spaceman, look down
Tell me what you see.
