Here's an exclusive look at one of the tracks, a reimagining of the country classic Sixteen Tons. These are the new lyrics!
Six Kilotons
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Steel and circuits and a cyber jack
A mind that's a-weak and a plasteel back
You load six kilotons, what do you get
A Martian day older and deeper in debt
Space Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go
I owe my soul to the corporation
I was born in the timeslip when the sun don't shine
Fired up my thrusters and flew to the mine
I loaded six kilotons of deuterium
And the straw boss said "Well, fiddle-dee-dum"
You load six kilotons, what do you get
A Martian day older and deeper in debt
Space Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go
I owe my soul to the corporation
I was born in the timeslip on the Chryse plain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the arco by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a lo-grav woman make me walk the line
You load six kilotons, what do you get
A Martian day older and deeper in debt
Space Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go
I owe my soul to the corporation
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of flesh, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will
You load six kilotons, what do you get
A Martian day older and deeper in debt
Space Peter don't you call me 'cos I can't go
I owe my soul to the corporation
