The Eagle Has Landed ( Just for fun )

The moon is made of plaster
on a Hollywood sound stage,
Constructed with deception
when the space race was the rage,
The world stood still in reverence
back in nineteen sixty nine
technologies short comings
meant that we were out of time,
With government collusion
and the media machine,
A Spielbergesque blockbuster
hit our t.v. screens,
Impeccably directed
with a monumental script
We gasped and took a giant leap
but were we mearly tripped ?
So that lunar rock you dreamed of
owning when you were a boy,
Just buy a piece of plaster
now then, thats the real Mccoy.

oh, they do, they do cast doubt upon the gov't stew

I wonder what is the truth
bout spiders in the bubble gum goop

and meat that's tainted with who knows what
as Ronald says, Whassup, whassup?


but then, who are THEY to say???
