Uncle Sam's On Mars Lyrics & Chords By Hawkwind

Shoals of dead fish float on the lakes
But Uncle Sam's on Mars
And science is making the same mistakes
But Uncle Sam's on Mars
And no one down here knows how to work the brakes
But Uncle Sam's on Mars

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars
Uncle Sam's on Mars, he's on Mars

Layers of smoke in the atmosphere
Have made the earth too hot to bear
The Earth might be a desert soon
America has left the Moon

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars
Uncle Sam's on Mars, he's on Mars

He's on Mars

He's got his bucket and spade in his left hand
He's digging for dreams
He's looking for life
He's looking for life

And for people all over the world, I'm sure they too join with us in recognising what a tremendous achievement this is. For one priceless moment in the whole history of Man..."

We're looking for life
We're looking for life
We're looking for life
We're looking for life

MacDonalds Hamburger
Construction works
And he's looking for life
Looking for life to wind up
He's looking for life to stamp out
He's looking for life to grind out
He's looking for life, so mind out

Uncle Sam's on Mars, Uncle Sam's on Mars
Uncle Sam's on Mars, he's on Mars

I hope you brought your credit card with you, and I hope you know how to drive on these long, lonely freeways and intersections we've got up here. We've got two cars in the garage, two cars in the garage, and drum-majorettes in white ankle socks and baton twirling on Sundays. We've got stripes and the stars and Uncle Sam's on
