NASA Town

Dedicated to the thousands of NASA contractors who are the backbone of America's Human Spaceflight Program.


Well we're living here in NASA Town
Getting ready for the final count down
Working hard to keep our flyers safe
Train 'em in Houston; launch from the Cape

Well our fathers launched us up to the Moon
Sent their kids to school so we could, too
Engineers and scientists abound
The brightest and best - in the air, on the ground
Living, working here in NASA Town.

But a new budget was handed down
And it's getting very hard to stay...

Now we're working in Obama Town
He burned Constellation to the ground
No more program left to get us to Mars
No, we'll just stop flying; stare up at the stars

And we're living now in Bolden Town
We thought he'd fight for us and not just lay down
Oh, the promises our leaders made
If we worked hard; if we stayed brave...

But we're living here in NASA town
And they're shutting all our contracts down
As the Congress People thrash away

We tell each child they've still got a good shot
You might think we're defeated but I tell you we're not
'Cuz something happened when they started to doubt
We vowed to fight; we can vote the bums out!

Yes, you'll still find us in NASA Town
Cuz' you can't keep a good workforce down
And we'll hang in there 'til we launch again

The elections are just months away...
And we're living here in NASA Town
