Starship Medley Live by Team StarKid Lyrics
[DENISE, spoken]
Next up, we have a selection of songs from a really adorable puppet bug production! But! That my mom called a show only for dreamers. She literally- isn't that cute- she literally called me and she was like, "Bean, if people say they don't like this show, they're not actually dreamers." Okay, so here's Starkid's three hour long space opera, with only eight songs. This is written by Darren Criss. Uh, this is my first show with this beautiful family. This is 'Starship!'
[ALEX]
It starts with not questioning the answers
And giving up before you've begun
[MARIAH]
It locks all the doors, increases the pressure
And in a flash your time is up before it's done
[ALEX & MARIAH]
And you won't know how it can feel
To feel at all
So I say no to status quo
Who wants to be like the rest
And deny the best that I'm meant for
I will show the status quo
Who cares about normal
I'll never conform
I will be content to resent the status
Quo...
[DYLAN]
You gotta kick it up a notch
If you're ever gonna reach your goal
You can't sit around and watch
Your destiny is in your control
[JAIME]
Kid, kick it up a notch
What's the point of less when there is more?
[JIM]
Have a cigar...
[BRIAN]
A glass of scotch
When opportunity knocks on your door
You let 'em in and then you
[DYLAN, JAIME, JIM & BRIAN]
Settle the score!
[DYLAN, JAIME, JIM & BRIAN]
Oh, life is short so (ahh)
Before it's over (ahh)
[DYLAN, JAIME, JIM & BRIAN]
Take a chance and think it through
[DYLAN]
You better kick it up a notch
It's the HUMAN thing
To do...
[BRANT]
All of your life you've had your head stuck
Up in the gaseous atmosphere
Don't forget that dirt is solid
And clouds can disappear
When you're an insect you have a purpose
Like it or not from a fly to a flea
Need I remind you, leave that stuff behind
So you can find what yours can be
'Cause the needs of the many bugs
They outweigh the few
And everybody knows, that's just the way it goes
And there's nothing you can do
You wanna be a Starship Ranger?
Discover worlds far and near?
Who gives a crap about a Starship Ranger?
The greatest life to live is found right here
(spoken)
Come on! The last one there is a delicious rotten egg!
[ENSEMBLE]
Dirt eater (Exo-skeleton polisher)
I wanna build honeycombs (A bug that ruins your picnic)
A fly on the wall
[ALL]
We've all got a job to do
And it's how we all survive
By giving our lives to the hive!
'Cause the needs of the many bugs
They outweigh the few
[JOEY]
I know today's the day
[ENSEMBLE]
Today's the day
[JOEY & ENSEMBLE]
I will find what I'm meant to do!
I wanna be a Starship Ranger (bzzz)
It doesn't matter at all where I'm from (bzz)
So look out Starship Rangers (bzz)
'Cause here I am!
[ENSEMBLE]
Here I am!
[JOEY]
And here I come!
[ENSEMBLE]
Dirt eater (Exo-skeleton polisher)
I wanna build honeycombs (A bug that ruins your picnic)
[ALL]
It's all I wanna be!
