==Lyrics== | |||
<poem>(You have the power to save) | |||
(You have the power to save me) | |||
Let me tell you the tale about a rivalry | |||
Grab an Eagle No. 2 and keep the score | |||
There were these two young boys that came from average broken homes | |||
With all the luxuries the middle class affords | |||
Oh, Lord | |||
Elon’s making me so sad | |||
'Cause I calculated the math | |||
Of our birthdates | |||
And I had a head-start out of the start gate | |||
Two years plus eighty-six days | |||
But that all went to waste | |||
Oh, Elon you’re making me so sad | |||
'Cause the race that I wanted to have | |||
Was not much of a race | |||
And I tried, Love | |||
And for a moment I thrived, Love | |||
But could not keep my stride up to keep pace | |||
But for a second, there’s no question | |||
I had the lead in '95 | |||
I mismanaged my advantage | |||
Like a rocket ship, he blasted by | |||
To incredible heights | |||
Incredible heights | |||
In 1982, on Christmas Day | |||
Santa gave us each a brand-new Commodore | |||
I used mine to make fake IDs and buy beer in junior high | |||
While my foe studied every bit of that 8-bit whore | |||
Are you keeping score? | |||
'Cause Elon’s making me so sad | |||
'Cause I calculated the math | |||
Of our birthdates | |||
And I had a head-start out of the start gate | |||
Two years plus eighty-six days | |||
But that all went to waste | |||
Oh, Elon you’re making me so sad | |||
'Cause the race that I wanted to have | |||
Was not much of a race | |||
And I tried, Love | |||
And for a moment I thrived, Love | |||
But could not keep my stride up to keep pace | |||
But for a second, there’s no question | |||
I had the lead in '95 | |||
But the small ambitions of a musician | |||
I could not keep my eye on the prize | |||
I watched him fly by | |||
To incredible heights | |||
When it’s time to say goodbye | |||
What will they write on my tombstone? | |||
Just that last little line | |||
From the Happy Days video | |||
"Not so good, Jonze" | |||
Hey, Elon, I don’t know what I have become | |||
I need someone to help change my fate | |||
I think you can save me | |||
Do you think you can save me? | |||
Do you have the power to help me escape? | |||
Oh, Elon, let me be the first one | |||
Of your new civilization to be saved | |||
Yes, I’ll try, Love | |||
I swear to you I can thrive, Love | |||
This time I’ll keep my stride up and keep pace | |||
Only you can change my Q-score | |||
Make me the first one out of that door | |||
First boots out on the martian floor to proclaim | |||
Oh, that Elon | |||
Sent me all the way, son | |||
A hundred thirty-nine million miles away | |||
Elon, send me away | |||
Send me away | |||
Elon! Tell me I’m saved | |||
Tell me I’m saved! | |||
Elon tell me I’m saved | |||
(Send me away!) | |||
You have the power to save, you have the power to save me! | |||
You have the power to save, you have the power to save me! | |||
And then I will say I went to Mars and won the race | |||
Yeah, I will say I took first place! | |||
Oh, I rode that old heart of gold the whole way | |||
And in the end, hey! I won the race! | |||
Oh, Elon, let me win the race, win the race | |||
Oh, Elon, let me take first place | |||
Elon! Tell me I am saved, I am saved! | |||
Elon tell me I am saved! | |||
You have the power to save me (Elon, tell me I am saved!) | |||
You have the power to save</poem> | |||
