Tenth Planet

Written by More Or Les
Leslie Seaforth (SOCAN)

INTRO:
Between the orbits of Mars and Venus – the planet wit people that can't be defeated. (3x’s)
Between the orbits of Mars and Venus – Cybernetic people. You'll be deleted.

VERSE ONE:
Between the orbits of Venus and Mars, a planet
of people to do you some harm just like Earth, just evolved
In a way that would make you look soft. Just did
away wit emotions and hard metal parts got installed.
Now it's on with a planet at large that metal
men attached rockets to launch. Fall apart? But you're wrong.
They showed up to siphon energy off the planet
Earth. Don't even think about war, ‘cause the cost is the loss
of human life in a number that's large. It's metal
might with electrical shocks, lasers, cobalt bombs,
and the drive to upgrade any and all. It's even
hard to fight what you become. If you could, you’d blow off
your own head. So your feelings are blocked with
technology to keep you on lock. You've turned into the cog
of a death machine. Forever deemed a terror. Be
relentlessly a menace. "Cybermen" is what you're called.

CHORUS:
Unwilling subjects become perfect soldiers,
with a sole purpose: universal takeover
A cybernetic legion is very hard to damage
with all emotions gone, started on the Tenth Planet.
Unwilling subjects become perfect soldiers,
with a sole purpose: universal takeover
An army of beings half metal, half organic,
upgrade or delete. Beware the Tenth Planet.

VERSE TWO:
Started on a world slightly different from your own - whether it's
Planet oh-three in a different reality or it's
Planet one-oh in the reality of your own. A
world you didn't know was real close to your home
returned from the unknown to steal body and soul, put steel
inside your dome. Episode's just like a clone
attack. And the start is cell phones attached
to your hips, then ear pods feed all the stats
including brainwashing software. Pain doesn't stop there.
Nothing' some Glitter Gun gold dust on a respiratory
tract couldn't match. But a psychological cost where
your brain snaps and you don't get any memories back.
Straight fact: you wouldn't wanna’ remember the hack job
they did to your bod' that they think's a proper mod.
They think of the humans, their difference and their pain. They
suffer in the skin, and must get the upgrade.

CHORUS
