I responded with:

You tell me that it's evolution...ary, yeah,
Where the heck is it in the world?
But when you can't find the site of its touchdown,
Don't you think that we can count it out?

Don't you hope it's gonna be...
all right... (2x)

You thought you had a real solution, well, you know,
It didn't go off like you planned.
Ask NASA for a contribution, well, you know,
Nobody does it like we can.
But when you test rockets to boost your sats,
All we can tell you is gospodins, you are prats!

Don't you hope it's gonna be...
all right... (2x)

You say you have a Constitution, well, you know,
You had one when you were all Red.
You tell me you've changed institutions, well, you know,
Your people still ain't got no bread.
But when you go carryin' 'round your hopes of empire,
You always find that your tech level must be higher!

Don't you hope it's gonna be...
all right... (buncha x)
