lyrics

Where d'ya think you're going in your Cockrocket?
You got all the daily papers in your back pocket.
So take your 15 seconds and TikTok it
While the world burns, taking turns
To mock your Cockrocket.

Are you still mad at your mom
Since she squeezed you from the womb?
Instead of cleaning up your room
You're gonna rocket to the moon.
Don't ya know there's nowhere else to go
So why not take your worth
And invest in cleaning up the mess
You made of Planet Earth.

So where d'ya think you're going in your Cockrocket?
You got another corporation in your back pocket.
So take your 15 seconds and TikTok it
While the world burns, taking turns
To mock your Cockrocket.

The epitome of arrogance,
Calling ourselves Sapiens.
I don't see the evidence
There's nothing sapient about us.
We haven't even come to terms with the fact of our mortality.
We're too afraid or selfish to create a new reality.

So where d'ya think you're going in your Cockrocket?
You got the global population in your back pocket.
So take your 15 seconds and TikTok it
While the world burns, taking turns
To mock your Cockrocket.

So where d'ya think you're going in your Cockrocket?
You got another corporation in your back pocket.
So take your 15 seconds and TikTok it
While the world burns, taking turns
To mock your Cockrocket.
