The coda. After leaving no stone unturned in The Weasel Community, perhaps leaving for a different planet IS the best option. Harmonica by Matt.

lyrics

1st Ship Bound for Mars

Put me on the first ship bound for Mars,
And get me out of here.
Where nothing but the silence and the stars
Will land upon my eyes and ears.
‘Cause I can hardly breathe;
We’re broken beyond grief.
The world that stays behind has started to unweave;
It’s time I take my leave.

We’re told by everyone there are two sides,
With nothing in between.
If we resist the urge to polarize,
Our voices are not heard, we are unseen.
The lie we’ve long been told
Has finally taken hold.
You’re for us or against, on one side of the fence.
The only way to peace is violence.

We live with constant anger, constant tears;
A world awash with deep religious fears.
A gun for you, a few for me, and then
A countdown leads us to the bitter end.
‘Cause I can hardly breathe;
We’re broken beyond grief.
The world that stays behind has started to unweave;
It’s time I take my leave.

So put me on the first ship bound for Mars.
