In the year 2100, WorldCorp Owns Everything (WOE) received a party invite from deep space! It would be an intergalactic rave hosted on Planet X. And, earth had become nearly uninhabitable after centuries of resource extraction. WOE leaders were eager to leave earth, so they set about forcing humanity to build Starship Vanity, a mothership for earth elites to travel to Planet X. In just one year, the ship was ready for launch.
Billions of miles later, the WOE elites made it to the Planet X solar system! Waking from cryosleep, and full of pride and vanity, the earth elites party on the mothership ahead of their arrival. Letting their guard down. They failed to perceive the obvious trap set for them by unknown aliens. Their attempt to save themselves, and their lamentation is documented in “Life Support Failing.”

LYRICS
My Crew, I would like to make a toast to you.
We’ve traveled a billion miles together.
We are the pinnacle of humanity.
And today, we deserve to party!
Alright! Now let’s head over to planet X and have some fun!
Where I come from we party fast
Final frontier of a space race past
Mothership built in 2100
Bass so loud the whole ship jumpin’
Cap’n calls up let’s celebrate
Living in space for 10 years straight
Nuclear fusion powers our cruiser
Billion miles on the dashboard
Got a hundred dollars and I got paid
Now I’m going home to a big house
Now I’m going home with a big mouse
We on the way to Planet X
They party so hard, you never know what’s next
Spaceship party on Planet X
Astronauts on board got us on a hex
Asteroid jewels no need to flex
Only 3 trillion in debt, we’ll get out no sweat!
Flying through the ionosphere
Oh dear Earth, I wish you were here
But it’s alright we got a spaceship and beer
So no need to fear, I wish you were here
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
We in an outer space space race with the aliens across the other place
Travelling and waiting to discover our planet
I know you will love it
Cosmic money is coming to my pocket
Uh captain, long range sensors are picking up an unknown ship approaching our coordinates.
They’ve just locked on their photon torpedoes
Captain, with those torpedoes locked onto our ship, what are we gonna do?
Everyone, brace for impact!!
Captain, captain, we’ve been hit!
The left engine’s destroyed and the core is leaking!
Send an engineering team to the engine (the engineers are dead! They’re all dead!)
All personnel report to battle stations!
Prepare to return fire (Sir, the core will go nuclear in 5 minutes!)
Lock on to that enemy ship! I want all of you men to fight valiantly! (we gotta launch the nukes)
They came out of nowhere
Shot us down with laughter
Life support is failing
I am dying faster
They came out of nowhere
Shot us down with laughter
Life support is failing
I am dying faster
In this final saga
I met God and had to
Think on this decision
Were we all Icaruses
Thrown out like the sink
Along with the kitchen
I don’t like vacuums
Not the fate I choose
There’s the void of space
These feelings that it sates
The kids moving slow, okay
See you later bae
Switch to backups two and nine
You have the power to make things right
Save who you can, discard the rest
Our resolve is put to test
Power in the palm of your hands
I swear we’re not from this land
I’m sitting with my feet in the sand, thinking
Maybe it’d be best if we never talked again
I’m hurt like I broke your trust
Your motive is a must
It’s like I don’t give a fuck
But I’m zoned in my shit and you still can’t trust
Or better yet believe
I told you I’m an outer space seed
Wishing glory to all
As we walk our own story
So get rid of your worries
And look high to lighter seas
Sailboat as you float let yourself
Go and feel the breeze
And if you gotta pray
Bring it to your knees
And whatever you say
Say it with ease
And whatever you say
Say what you mean
They came out of nowhere
Shot us down with laughter
Life support is failing
I am dying faster
Shields at 16%
Hold my hand let’s save it
Life support is failing
We are dying faster
Open arms I fly away
Sailing supersonic flight
Its our last glance
Before we fade away
Away away away away away
Away away away
And I fly, fly away
Sailing supersonic flight
It’s our last dance
Before we fade away
It’s our last dance
And I’ll fly away
Sailing supersonic flight
It’s our last dance
