Phil Ochs Spaceman lyrics

Way high, so high travelin' fast and free
Spaceman, look down tell me what you see
Can you see the hunger there strike without a sound?
Can you see the food you burn as you circle round?

Way high, so high all the world will cheer
Spaceman, look down tell me what you hear
Can you hear a child cry, body filled with pain?
Deadly sores when cures are there how much fuel remains?


Way high, so high spaceship made of steel
Spaceman, look down tell me what you feel
Can you feel the money gone as you sail through space?
Can you feel how many die when you win the race?

Way high, so high travelin' fast and free
Spaceman, look down tell me what you see
