Slingshot Maneuver

I don't trust this
Utopian future
There's no war and no
Lust for lucre

They put me in
This gold shirt
And then we went
To Red Alert

I pushed some buttons
I made the ship go
Without training
I was flying solo

And yet we made it
To planet Fizzbin
And we delivered
Vital medicine

It felt good
To do nice things
With a collection
Of xeno-beings

But why me? 
It doesn't seem right
To leave my past behind
With space flight

My world's still broken
It needs repair
We gotta earn this future
Playing fair and square

So hurl me back
Into your past
Slingshot 'round a sun
Another chance at last
For a salvation run
