Lyrics
He was a good man, he meant no harm.
He was a well-intentioned individual who didn't intend harm.
A victim of life, possessor of charm.
He suffered from life's circumstances but possessed charisma.
In a time when no man
During a period when no one could merely survive without struggle.
Could just do alright and get by.
Surviving wasn't easy; progress required the end of the old ways.
To make way for the new the old had to die
The new era necessitated the passing of the old ways.
The old had to die it was crazy.
It seemed irrational that the old had to give way for change.
They needed a change no man would try.
A change was necessary, yet no one was willing to initiate it.
He did understand, but he didn't know why, no.
He comprehended the need for change but lacked the reasoning behind it.
So he left himself in the hands of the power
He surrendered to authority and suppressed his inquiries.
And locked up his questions in the people's tower
He confined his questions in a symbolic structure controlled by the people.
The people's tower. He was crazy.
The structure symbolized by "the people's tower" was confining and irrational.
Don't think twice spaceage sacrifice
Urges not to contemplate or hesitate, embracing the sacrifices of the space age.
Well, let's go back when it all was starting
Reflecting on the inception of events.
A man on the moon and people were starving.
An era where scientific advancement contrasted starkly with widespread hunger.
Everyone knew, but most didn't care.
Awareness existed, but apathy prevailed among the majority.
Well, everyone thought they were going somewhere
People believed they were progressing, moving toward a destination.
They were going somewhere
They had a sense of purpose, though the actual destination was uncertain.
There was nowhere, it was nowhere!
Realization that the destination or progress might not truly exist.
Don't think twice spaceage sacrifice
A repetition emphasizing the urge to embrace the sacrifices of the space age without hesitation.
It was a spaceage sacrifice.
Reiteration of the concept of sacrifices made in the era of space exploration.
