we're not going anywhere (trying to put this in song form)


Space
is beautiful, yet sad
colorful, yet black
infinate, yet limited
 
we are only specks
in the endless fronteer
atoms, to the universe's planet
 
(chorus) no matter what we do
we will never make a dent
in the way, the universe runs
 
in the long run, it'll feel like
we're not going anywhere
so why even bother trying to move (end chorus)
 
as time goes on, mankind only gets smarter,
yet repeats the same mistakes again
 
sooner or later the earth will be no more
so why even bother to risk your life for land
 
(c) no matter what we do
we will never make a dent
in the way, the universe runs
 
in the long run, it'll feel like
we're not going anywhere
so why even bother trying to move (c)
 
no matter what we do
we're not going anywhere
so why even bother trying to move
