“A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And whitey's on the moon
I can't pay no doctor bills
But whitey's on the moon
Ten years from now I'll be payin' still
While whitey's on the moon
The man just upped my rent last night
Cause whitey's on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But whitey's on the moon
I wonder why he's upping me?
Cause whitey's on the moon?
Well I was already giving him fifty a week
With whitey on the moon
Taxes taking my whole damn check
Junkies making me a nervous wreck
The price of food is going up
And as if all that shit wasn't enough:
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With whitey on the moon
Her face and arm began to swell
And whitey's on the moon
Was all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon?
How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey's on the moon
Y'know I just 'bout had my fill
Of whitey on the moon
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To whitey on the moon.”

“There is no escape. Eight billion humans won’t escape their issues by going to space. Our planet needs no terraforming, no cosmic radiation shielding, and no industrial production of oxygen or water. It needs no soil building and requires no multi-month travel time or lengthy communication delays. It demands no complex infrastructure. We are on board the best, most resilient, and most spacious “spaceship” we could ever build. This is it. Hopefully the space-colony dreamers will slowly realize that what they’ve been looking for is here.”
