Lyrics for Good Life:

I'm a robot rock n' roller
On the planet Mars
Got a sister Martian rover
And this world is ours

We have a dirty job
But there's nothing to it
We love the opportunity
And have the right spirit

I investigate the Crater
And my sister's on the Plain
Determining the structure
Of local terrain

NASA dropped us off
in 2000 and 4
Said We were down for the count
But we came back for more

The dirts so red
I never get the blues
It's a good life
It's a good life

I'm feeling all right
I found some hematite
It's good life
It's a awesome life

We got the magnets and
We got the cameras
Grinding tools and
Microscopic imagers

We move from place to place
Testing stones and soil
We've got solar panels
We don't run no oil

NASA set us up good and
For that we're glad
Been down with the job
Since we left the launch pad

Viva Mars Visa NaSa
You'll here us cheer
Six hundred Eighty Seven Days
in the Martian year

The dirts so red
I never get the blues
It's a good life
It's a good life

I'm feeling all right
I found some hematite
It's good life
It's a awesome life

Rock all day
Eat sun for food
It's a good life
It's a great life

Think I'm artificial
I'm more alive that you
It's a good life
It's a good life
Viva Mars! Viva Nasa!!!

Some Sojourner Attacks Lyrics:

I dig for rocks all day, but I'm not on the pipe!
There's no water on Mars, don't believe that hype!
I'm green on the red planet, cause I'm solar son!
Don't step to me boy, my Pathfinder weights a ton.
NASA left me for dead, and I don't care!
Keep your Java upgrades, I don't need no repairs!
Relaxing in my crater, watching the stars!
I'm the Sojourner Rover, Emperor of Mars!
