Oh say can you see spacecraft exploding in the air

By the early morning light seven families in despair

Watching their sons and daughters burning in the sky

Remnants plunge into the water but they already died



What so proudly we hail we thought they had all the brains

But in front of all the world we've been put to shame

In the sky no one left alive

The fault is yours and you can't deny their good luck passed them by



Whose broad stripes and bright stars led a perilous flight

That ended in disaster panic and frustration

You need another seven spacemen willing to take a chance

And dumb enough to trust you when you say all systems go



Rockets red glare bursting in air we thought they had all the brains

But N.A.S.A. proved otherwise that day in the sky

No one left alive died in the sky

The fault is yours and you can't deny their good luck passed them by



You know exactly why they're all dead

They couldn't survive. The fault was yours and you know just why

They're all dead

Now you got another seven astronauts dead

Their good luck had passed 'em by now they're dead

Another seven astronauts dead
