Rocket Spam – by Lisa B.

She packed her glam last night, pre-flight
Zero hour — prime time news
And they’re gonna be high on likes by then

They say “empowered women rise”
But this ain’t what we meant
When pioneers were breaking skies

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
Before the spotlight fades from this pantomime
They’re not the women who inspired our minds
Oh no, no, no —
They’re Rocket Spam

Rocket Spam
Balenciaga bags and silicone
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
‘Til science leads the way instaed of dollar signs
Time to let our STEM sisters shine
Oh no, no, no —
Instead of rocket spam

Rocket Spam
Should have left them up there floating alone

This isn’t how we should inspire kids
In fact it’s gross as hell
Are we suppoooooosed to praise them for this shit?
And where’s the scientists, I don’t understand
Are we this far up shits creek?
Rocket Spam
Rocket Spam

And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
Before the stars are earned and not just bought online
We need real heroes – not this airbrushed shrine
Oh no, no, no
We want rocket women!
Not space Kardashians!

Explorers with brains, not brands alone
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
But maybe she’s out there, in her prime
A rocket WOMAN – with grit and grind
Oh no, no, no
She’s not rocket spam

Rocket woman
Kicking ass and taking names alone…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
And I hope it won’t be a long, long time…
