lyrics

I was working on the Enterprise just the other day,
When some space debris hit the side and we began to sway,
I went flying through the air, I went crashing to the floor,
And a thought popped in my head that I'm sure you've thought before.

They've got tricorders and phasers on the Enterprise,
But not a single seatbelt on that ship of massive size,
The technology is baffling, the advancements truly neat,
But I'd settle for a strap that merely keeps me in my seat.

Had I made a big mistake, signing up to join the fleet?
Did my red shirt give them carte blanche to consistently mistreat?
Would it really take so much to strap us in at red alert?
So we can spend more time exploring worlds and less time badly hurt.

They've got holodecks and dilithium on the Enterprise,
But not a single seatbelt on that ship of massive size,
The technology is baffling, the advancements truly neat,
But I'd settle for a strap that merely keeps me in my seat.

To boldly go where no one's gone before,
Doesn't seem like too much fun when you're laid out on the floor.
A Nader-esque slogan's what we need:
The Enterprise: unsafe at any speed.

They've got hyperspanners and warp drive on the Enterprise,
They've got replicators and nanites on the Enterprise.
Parisis squares and sick bay beds, and androids who can feel,
But they don't have seatbelts...

...or bullets to kill the Borg.
