A science fictional world
Is so much better than reality
You got holographic telephones and 3-D TV
And phasers for fighting the bad guys (Like cyborgs!)

In a science fictional world
You gotta have suspension of disbelief
To hitchhike through the universe in outer space
Close your eyes, we’ll give you a tour (Listen!)

I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (and hang with robots)
A science fictional world

Han Solo had a Wookie named Chewbacca
The first great chiefton on the planet Kashyyyk
He carried a bowcaster and bandolier
His hairdo was totally punk rock! (Believe it!)

James T. Kirk had a Vulcan named Spock
Put you fast asleep with a pinch of the neck
With arched and upswept eyebrows and ears
If he were here, he’d tell you to “Live long” (And prosper!)

I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (and hang with Wookies)
A science fictional world

The Cylons are cybernetic evil robots
The Daleks are seeking to conquer the universe
Hal-9000 is a wicked red eye
Darth Vader’s just a big softie inside (I’m your father!)

Buck Rogers fought in World War I
Flash Gordon was a polo player from Yale
Dr. Who has a time tra-ve-ling telephone booth
Sam Beckett was a quantum leaper (Oh boy!)

I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (defeating Cylons)
A science fictional world

Humanoids, androids, and aliens
Mind control and telepathy
Post-apocalyptic dystopia
Time travel and wormholes (They’re cool!)

Lightspeed, warp speed, and ludicrous speed
The Falcon is the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy
Starship Enterprise can warp time and space
The Death Star can blow up a planet (Look out!)

I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (fly through a wormhole)
A science fictional world

Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein
Walter M. Miller and John W. Campbell
Samuel R. Delany and Philip K. Dick
What’s with the middle initials? (Like why!?)

Oh, science fictional world
You’re so much better than reality
You’re the coolest and the neatest and the swellest place
Hey, beam me up, Scottie (Aye, Captain!)

I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (and hang with Wookies)
A science fictional world
