Whether you're a billionaire or trillionaire Gunfire, tax and flooding leech the summit’s air It's nice to care - why should I care? I'm over here, that's over there History demands we grab all the planets No more dead weight, no serfs or states Space is us, in space we trust our dominion our centillions Headless horsemen of the galaxy are we So, let's go let's sow the post-human got to let it grow nothing owed unload come get over let the shackles go I will live forever in those racks of tin every flying server-farm will have me in From Scorpius to Sauron’s Eye Still brilliant, just decentralised My cyber-self will kill at the keynotes optional skin and trademark grin Space is us, so move we must engineering without ceiling Jump the wagon train of transhumanity So, let's go rainbows are our main roads we just matter more Ladders rose for those who got over history will show let's go let's sow the post-human got to let it grow Nothing owed unload come get over let the shackles go Space is us, in space we trust Space is us, so move we must

There was a man who wanted to live outside of time he lived he worked he slept on a moving bus Did it work? Or just hurt? We all want to know Bunk bed Clear head Cling to the "true" you Sing, sing whistle and grin try not to think what peril you’re in cling to your tribe your dream of your life Move on and sing and cling Just need to ride and never arrive The dates you missed no longer apply Sing, sing whistle and grin All hail the Age of Cling! There was a woman who wanted to live outside of time but that's outside Capital's memory line Did it work? Or just hurt? We all want to know Did it work? Or just hurt? Go on, have a go Sing, sing You know the thing A burning boat or a plane with one wing Just need to ride and never arrive All hail the Age of Cling! Sing, sing give in to whim it’s never too late to begin Decades decay Push them away Embrace the Age of Cling Sing, sing whistle and grin try not to think what peril you’re in Don’t you let on that it’s not what you want the future’s wearing thin Just need to ride and never arrive muffle the clocks keep all out of sight Sing, sing whistle and grin All hail the Age of Cling!

I'm Hannibal McGlynn my tunic amber blush As worn in Carthage until that Roman crush We'll parade into your town Have our elephants bow down Make your ballroom smell of myrrh Make the hills resound Candy store in the Atlas Mountains To Tanit's temple on Spancil Hill "Boolavogue" sung for swingin' lovers Booze not sold, chaste dreams fulfilled Seven fast ones Then a sad one And a trad one Shiny dinner suits for them Skimpy camel skins for us Hiberno-Futurism This is our thrust Did you catch our name? - No, don't be stupid, names don’t mean a thing to us We all sound the same - I don't care who you are, just play the Hucklebuck Master musicians of Jajouka Gnawa chanting and Berber drones These inspired our half-hour improv jam on Green, Green Grass of Home Round & round & round & round we we go, band of show! Did you catch our name? - I don't think anybody cares what you are called We all sound the same - Just play the music that will make us jive and waltz The Carthaginians... We're The Carthaginians... We're The Carthaginians... Car-tha-ginians Round & round & round & round we we go, band of show (band of show) In Philadephia We met with old Sun Ra A franchise deal - tadaa, Irish Arkestra! Did you catch our name? - No, don't be stupid, names don't mean a thing to us! We all sound the same - I don't care who you are, just play the Hucklebuck Last chance, here's the name... - Heard you the first time, that's enough, don't push your luck We all sound the same - That's the idea, now just play the Hucklebuck Car-tha-ginians
