Space Cadet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't wanna be a doctor

I don't wanna be a lawyer

I don't wanna be a working man

Yeah, I just wanna be an instrument

I don't wanna be Jesus

I don't wanna behave

I don't wanna be a good consumer

Yeah, I don't wanna be a slave

I just wanna be a space cadet

Just me and my old man

We'll fly around solving mysteries

Doing the best we can

And then one day when he's older

I'll get the keys to the ship

And then I'll fly it around and around and around

Until the end of the trip

I don't wanna be a mad man

I don't wanna be sick

I don't wanna be medicated

I don't wanna be tricked

And I don't wanna be Jesus

I don't wanna be saved

I don't wanna be a good consumer

Yeah, I don't wanna be a slave

Yeah, I just wanna be a space cadet

Just me and my old man

We'll fly around solving mysteries

Doing the best we can

And then one day when he's older

I'll get the keys to the ship

And then I'll fly it around and around and around

Until the end of the trip

Yeah, I just wanna be a space cadet

Yeah, I just wanna be a space cadet

Oh

But I'm just done here on earth

Looking up at the stars

And I wanna shoot further

Than a man on Mars

And I wanna roll further

Than a rolling stone

And when my death comes knocking

I'm gonna be alone
