Astronauts

The astronauts are coming to town and it’ll be all right
They’re gonna wear their helmets this time around so they can breathe just fine
The astronauts are coming to town and it’ll be all right
The rioters are gathering they’re filling the fields
Groups are held back by fences and police shields
We don’t want you here in our city they say
But they’re coming anyway
 
The astronauts are coming to town, and it’ll be alright
It’ll be alright
 
With your inch thick suits to protect you from the elements
The atmosphere to distance you from us
We don’t want you here in our city they say
But they’re coming anyway
 
The astronauts are coming to town, and it’ll be alright
It’ll be alright
 
They bring their smiles and their beauty queen waves from the wrist
They don’t notice the crowds held back by rubber bullets
They bring their smiles and their beauty queen waves from the wrist
They don’t notice the crowds held back by tear gas and fists
Rubber bullets rubber bullets rubber bullets tear gas and fists
Rubber bullets rubber bullets rubber bullets tear gas and fists
