1-1-2029, the stars are shining bright

Nerves connected to the center, we are tied to the machine
Invisible and silent, circling overland
The plane makers designed us to out-turn and outmaneuver
Intruders in our skies, intruders in our skies

1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright

Backbone of the fighter force, of the defense industry
Devoted tools of the power, warrants of the order

1-1-2029, tonight the stars are shining bright

Invisible and silent, we are circling overland
Circling overland, circling overland

Silicon advisors lead the way
We reach our cruising altitude

1-1-2029, West Europe, midnight
Invisible and silent, circling overland
Scanning, taping, filing, instantly checking
Every human, car, and plane of the quarters we survey

1-1-2029, circling overland, circling overland
