[Intro: Aurelio Voltaire]

Ladies and gentleman of the Geonosian Gladiator arena

Presenting the epic battle of a Star Trek redshirt

And a Star Wars Stormtrooper

[Chorus: Aurelio Voltaire]

Expendable, I'm wearing red and I'm expendable

You need me dead? I am dependable

You need me alive? I'm not your guy

'Cause on the surface where Spock and Kirk is

It's almost certain that I'm gonna die

Expendable am I

[Verse 1: Jason Charles Miller]

Terrible, when it comes to shooting I'm just terrible

I shot at two hundred and ten rebels and didn't hit a single guy

I couldn't hit the Death Star while on The Death Star

I'd probably shoot my foot and then I'd cry

A terrible shot am I

[Verse 2: Aurelio Voltaire, Tim Russ]

Back at the Academy

No one was as bad as me

Though I tried my very best

Made my teachers all irate

Puked from every thing I ate

Got an F on every test

Though excelling was my wish

I broke the main deflector dish

And they threw me out of class

Then they caught me raising heck

Naked on the holodeck

I thought there was no way I could pass

And just when I thought I was screwed

They said "We got the perfect job for you"

"You do?"

[Chorus: Tim Russ, Aurelio Voltaire]

"You'll be expendable

You will wear red and be expendable

For getting dead, you are dependable

In fact you are the perfect guy

If shields are down or we blow a warp core

It's almost guaranteed you're gonna fry

Expendable"

Am I

[Verse 3: Jason Charles Miller, Robert Picardo]

Back when I was just a teen

Growing up on Tatooine

Beggars canyon was my scene

But my aim was really bad

Couldn't bullseye one womp rat

With my trusty T-16

This made me a little stressed

More than just a bit depressed

Drowned my tears at Anchorhead

There I met a man named Biggs

Said he had the perfect gig

To put me to the test

And just when I thought I was screwed

He said "We got the perfect job for you"

"You do?"

[Chorus: Robert Picardo, Tim Russ]

"You will be terrible

When it comes to shooting you're just terrible

You'll shoot at two hundred and ten Gungans

And not a single one will die

We'll get the last laugh on Palpatine's ass

By building him an army of guys

So terrible"

Am I

[Verse 4: Aurelio Voltaire, Tim Russ, Both]

And that's how I became a redshirt

And that's how I became a Trooper

And though apart we are pathetic

Together we are super duper

I'll shoot at you from a foot or two and yet much to your surprise

I'll miss you

Yet I'll still die

I'll miss you

Yet I'll still find a way to die
