Situation Nominal (All F ired Up ! ) Lyrics

Everything was nominal and then we lost telemetry

Now we have an unscheduled rapid disassembly

"Lithospheric braking" is what I write down

It sounds a lot better than "it crashed into the ground"

I finish my report and send it to my supervisor

Now I've got to drug test and have a breathalyzer

He shouted to my face "what the hell is wrong with you?"

Our customers are mad because of this SNAFU!

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Everything is blown away (you won't go to space today!)

Now we're out in space and we maximize utility

Following the rules of space sustainability

Our data stream says the situation's nominal

But space traffic says we're outgassing volatiles

Drifting out in GEO to another orbit slot

Making other operators nervous and distraught

The government asked "what the hell is wrong with you?"

Our customers are mad because of this SNAFU!

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Everything is blown away (you won't go to space today!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Embrace the SNAFU! (Before it's FUBAR!)

Damn these satellites and their pitiful fragility

If I don't correct it, we will face a liability

Light the ion thrusters up as if we're tryna rave hard

Gotta send this mess up to the orbital graveyard

Finally get it up to its derelict home

Trying not to cause a bout of Kepler Syndrome

The owner operator wonders how it failed so hard

Our financiers are mad but hey at least it's not FUBAR

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (All fired up!)

Situation Nominal! (It's not FUBAR!)

Situation Nominal! (It's not FUBAR!)

Situation Nominal! (It's not FUBAR!)

Situation Nominal! (It's not FUBAR!)

Everything is blown away (you won't go to space today!)
