The Void Ain’t Big Enough (Space Shanty)

Country Rock, electric guitar heavy, a hint of Shanty, soft female voice, fast dark, electric guitars, base and drums

[Verse 1]
The navy boys all think they’re tough,
Sailing their cruisers, looking so puffed.
But boots on the ground, when the fight gets rough,
They call the marines ‘cause they ain’t enough.

We storm the stations, we take the hits,
While they’re sipping coffee on their comfy bridge.
Yeah, the navy talks big, but here’s the score:
They’d sink without us in a cosmic war.

[Chorus]
The void ain’t big enough for us both to roam,
Marines claim the dirt, the navy calls it home.
But when the stars light up, and the blasters fire,
It’s the marines who fight while the navy retires.

[Verse 2]
Now the navy boys got their fancy tech,
Their plasma cannons and a shiny deck.
But give me my rifle and a rugged squad,
We’ll fight till we’re dust, with a wink at God.

They strut in their uniforms, so clean and pressed,
While we’re knee-deep in mud, looking battle-dressed.
But when the stakes are high, and the chips are down,
It’s the marines who wear the fighter’s crown.

[Bridge]
Now, we give ‘em hell, and they give it back,
Over beers at the bar or the barracks rack.
But deep down, we know, when the battle’s on,
We stand together till the fight is won.

[Verse 3]
So here’s to the navy, with their shiny ships,
And the marines, with our busted lips.
We’ll rib and roast till the end of time,
But side by side, we’ll cross the line.

[Outro]
So raise a toast to the space we share,
To the brotherhood found in the cold night air.
Navy or marines, we’ll always be,
The sharpest edge of humanity.
