I Wanna Be

I wanna be a Starship Ranger

I wanna have the things they've got

I could be a Starship Ranger

But there's just one little thing they are

I'm not

All of my life I've pictured them out there

Keeping the peace in outer space

I may not be up there with 'em

But I've got what it takes

I've got a hunger and thirst for adventure

I wanna travel the galaxy

The future is now, so I don't see how

The time isn't right for me

And I'll admit

It's all in my head

But who says it can't be real?

They may be far away

But I can safely say

It doesn't change the way I feel

I wanna be a Starship Ranger

Even if it might sound strange

Maybe now, I'm not a Ranger

But all of that is right about to change

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

It'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 Starship Rangers?

The greatest life to live is found right here

(Spoken) Come on! Last one there is a delicious rotten egg!

(Alternating)

Dirt eater!

Exoskeleton polisher!

I wanna build honeycombs!

The bug that ruins your picnic!

A fly on the wall!

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

I know today's the day

Today's the day

Bug: ()

I will find what I'm meant to do...

(We will find what we're meant to do...)

The queen will surely see I'm not like anyone else

She'll take one look and know my rightful calling

She'll understand that I just can't be

Living my life for the hive

And I can finally...

Finally...

Know what it's like to be alive...

I wanna be something that can

Serve the greater good of our race

I'll do whatever I can

To make our world a better place

If only I could get to outer space!

I wanna be a Starship Ranger

It doesn't matter at all where I'm from

So look out, Starship Rangers

Cause here I am...

Here I am...

...And here I come!

(Alternating)

Dirt eater!

Exoskeleton polisher!

I wanna build honeycombs!

The bug that ruins your picnic!

It's all I wanna be!
