Crash and Burn
(tune: "Fun, Fun, Fun")
Words by Andy Wheeler
Inspired by the movie "Robot Jox"
1994
Well, Achilles was ready to fight the Confederation
He was the only jox to survive nine confrontations
And with the lasers blastin' he went out to defend the nation
And he will crash and burn 'till Athena takes his robot away.
Well, Achilles can't stand it 'cause he's one win from being
an Ace now
And if he beats Alexander he will win some Alaska space now
But Alexander has plans to stomp on Achilles' face now
And he will crash and burn 'till Athena takes his robot away.
Athena knew all along that she was a better jox now
And when she took Achilles' robot she was hoping she could knock
off his socks now
But if Achilles didn't save her Alexander'd send her home in
a box now
And I can't believe Joe Haldeman wrote the screenplay!
