For we're proud of NASA's heroes, but we'd rather raise our glass To the hard-nosed bloody bastards who will get us into space. They don't have fancy buildings. That money goes for tools— They build their birds with auto parts and tire-rubber fuel. They're the private space craft companies. With luck they're goin' far, And for cold cash on the barrel-head, cold cash on the barrel-head, cold cash on the barrel-head they'll take us to the stars! (Chorus) They are businessmen and lawyers, they're con-men, knaves, and fools, And damn fine engineers that got fed up with NASA's rules, And they're talking to the bankers, using every trick they know, For they're selling dreams and promises, sellin' dreams and promises, sellin' dreams and promises, ten million bucks a throw! (Chorus) It's a high-stakes game they're playing, but by God, they're having fun, For they know that out in orbit there are fortunes to be won, And they'll bend the rules to win 'em. Hell, they'll steal and cheat and lie, For it's devil take the hindmost, devil take the hindmost, yeah, it's devil take the hindmost, the winner takes the sky! (Chorus) For it's not enough to walk the moon, send robots off to Mars, Nor send a lucky handful out to catch a glimpse of stars. We're gonna live and work and space. We're gonna go to stay, And the ones who'll make it happen, the ones who'll make it happen, yes, the ones who'll make it happen are the ones who'll make it pay! (Chorus) They're hard-nosed bloody bastards, star-struck bloody bastards, Our kind of bloody bastards, if they'll get us into space!
