Kathy Mar Do Something Lyrics

Do Something Lyrics

So congratulations, you look to the stars



A collective pat on your backs



But thousands of you will sit there and dream



For every good dreamer who acts



Watching Star Wars a dozen times



Just won't get us into space



And if that's the best we can do, my friend



It's the end for the human race







Chorus:	 It's time to stop dreaming



	 And time to start doing



	 It's time to stop playing and plan



	 With generals' scheming



	 And bureaucrats stewing



	 They'll kill all our dreams if they can







At the wild conventions you party and play



And you sing all night of the stars



But we probably could have bought our own ship



On just what you spend in the bars



Government funds won't get us wings



If they all get cut to the bone



If we don't write letters and work for those stars



We may live here and die here alone







I suppose we could hope that someone out there



Will appear and make it all right



Or carry a few of the chosen away



To the edges of infinite night



But after all why should they care



If we reach our goals or not



And if no one is willing to try we deserve



To be stuck in this backwater spot







Now you're probably angry at all that I've said



And you probably have the right



But I'd love to see us all reach for the stars



As we reach for these songs tonight



Now I love the fact that you like my tunes



And I hope you'll always care



But I'm waiting still for the day when I



Can be singing my songs out there
