The loneliest job in the galaxy.

Space Commando

A scuffle has broken out on the far side of the dome. Several aliens are heckling a veteran space commando.

(Lead)
Do you remember the wars on Mars? Well I still got the scars
I´m a Space Commando
I got rockets on my feet and the Big Night is my beat
I´m a Space Commando

We keep our eyes on the horizon
If there´s trouble then we vaporize ´em
For the Space Commandos

(Chorus)
America! USSR!

(Lead)
Keeping those guys from breaking each other´s necks
Is drivin´ me wild, yeah!
I got no sweet momma to hold my hand
Gets ya feeling like a motherless child, yeah, oh,

(Chorus)
We are the law!

(Lead)
Ever since I was a boy it has been my pride and joy, to be a
Space Commando

(Chorus)
Urgent report! Escaped robots!

(Lead)
I´ve crossed many a sword
With that alien horde, from Nebula Nine,
But I´d welcome on board, some humanoid broad
And a flaglon of Venusian Wine, yeah, oh,

(Chorus)
We are the law!

(Lead)
Yeah the Big Night is my beat
And it´s a long and lonely street
Space Commando, Space Commando

(Chorus): We are the law!
(Lead): Space Commando, Space Commando
(Chorus): We are the law!
(Lead): Space Commando, Space Commando
(Chorus): We are the law!
(Lead): YEAH!
  WebMaster´s Note  

I imagine cyborgs! Although not implicit in the IGTB text, to me the Space Commandos are robot bodies with human brains. Naturally, many of the pleasures of the flesh must be left behind, although not the desire for them. Which makes for a very melancholic image. What dedication they must have!
