Good morning, it's t-minus one hour, twenty-nine minutes, and fifty-three seconds, and counting. Just an hour and a half— on the voyage man always dreamed about.


[Verse 1: Seth Sentry]

Wake up, wake up, do you know where you are?

1969, welcome to the future

Tonight a rocket full of nukes and three heroic men

Travel to the moon to blow it up just to prove we can

Yeah, tonight we're blowing up the moon

Tonight we show the whole world just how smart we are

Tonight we prove it doesn't matter how fast you run

In the arms race when you're the one that's holding on that starter gun (bam!)

Now take a look at how far we've come

Folk that said we couldn't do it, got their data wrong

Folk that said we shouldn't do it, need to bite their tongue

Look up at the moon for that one last time and get your party on

Man, what a perfect afternoon

Smell of barbecues and everyone's up on their roofs

To watch this rocket shoot up towards the moon with just one job to do:

To blow the fucking moon up with a nuke before the Russians do


[Chorus: Matt Cenere]

And we don't think twice

Blow that bitch up out the god damn sky

So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up

And the night gets lit up, blow that mother fucking moon up

And we don't know why

Just blow that bitch up out the god damn sky

So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up

And the night gets lit up, blow that mother fucking moon up


[Verse 2: Seth Sentry]

My father drew a loaded gun when I was only young

He pointed at the sky and said one day we'd blow it up

I asked him why, I didn't understand

He looked me in the eye and said, "because we fucking can"

I was moronic, too dumb, couldn't see the point of it

Like pop, why you wanna war on it, he said what

What, you wanna walk on it, huh?

My god, don't ask why, ask why not

What a time to be alive for, get high and watch the sky fall down

Yeah, the sky fall down

We never needed no reason, blow it up because we can

What a marvellous evening, margaritas and beach chairs

We're so lucky to see this, they'll tell tales of what we did

Now bow down to our genius

I wish dad could have seen this, so count down the launch sequence

One giant leap, we go feet first as we finally leave Earth

To blow that fucker to pieces, the height of human achievement


[Chorus: Matt Cenere]

And we don't think twice

Blow that bitch up out the god damn sky

So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up

And the night gets lit up, blow that mother fucking moon up

And we don't know why

Just blow that bitch up out the god damn sky

So the night gets lit up, watch that shoot up

And the night gets lit up, blow that mother fucking moon up


[Verse 3: Seth Sentry]

Shhh, only seconds before the show begins

All the nukes have been loaded in

The moon hides behind a cloud

And now the rocket towers over us all

It waits motionless, oh, the world's frozen, we watch

I'm reminded of my father with that loaded gun

We beat the Soviets, we're so victorious

The band plays, the president takes the podium like

"Ladies and gentlemen," welcome, I look at the crowd

I see the faces of people all equally tired of blowing shit up on the ground

Well, me too, but today is a day to be proud

Today is a day you and I can just finally say that we flew to heavens and blew it to hell

So now, without no further ado

Let's shoot the moon till it's full eclipse

Change the tide for our future kids

Three cheers in unison, hooligans find a roof to sit

Raise your head, blow the moon a kiss, now look how smart us humans is


[Outro: Seth Sentry]

But this is one small step

We hope that one day we can blow up our entire world

So remember where you stood the day we blew it

Start the launch, enjoy the fireworks
