Building the Future

(Music -M. Novak, Lyrics – M. Novak, C. Webster)

Building the armada was a daunting task
Workers were assured so no questions asked
Money was pilfered from the social programs
The people of earth will be the sacrificial lambs

The charade lasted decades for the fleet to be built
The corporate leader’s vision seen with glee not guilt
They were building the future is what people believed
With no suspicion of ever being deceived.

CHORUS:
For mankind to continue technology must win
AIMS made more AIMS again and again.
For the corporate nations leaders 300 ships to be made
Mars is the base for this clandestine charade

The armada assembled at the outpost on Mars
Building the Future to take man to the stars
AIMS are the workers, no humans involved
AIMS has no secrets security leaks solved

Ships were built for centuries of travel
All hope was on AIMS that their plans won’t unravel
Building the Future the armada stands tall
AIMS sends down word the leaders answer the call

CHORUS:

Their escape ships leave home with rocket’s red glare
No other ships at the ready the deceived going no where
All humans on board were in a deep cold sleep
Building the Future is AIMS directive to keep[

The Ivory towers now empty lies are laid bare
The rest of humanity now knows that the leaders didn’t care
No hope, no future, no resources, no laws
The dream of building the future is now a lost cause.
