[verse 1]

They told me it was just a simple trip,

Explorin’ new worlds on a science ship.

But when the daylight's gone, and the science was done,

I was left alone, far away from home.

[chorus]

I was just takin' a leak behind a rock,

When they thought I was dead, and didn't take stock.

Now I'm stranded here, all on my own,

A poor redshirt, left all alone.

[Verse 2]

I screamed and I yelled, but no one came,

Their voices faded, calling my name.

In the silence of the alien night,

I wondered if I’d ever see the light.

[chorus]

I was just takin' a leak behind a rock,

When they thought I was dead, and didn't take stock.

Now I'm stranded here, all on my own,

A poor redshirt, left all alone.

[short instrumental break]

[bridge]

Mama warned me, said, 'Son, take care,

Redshirts like you, they meet despair.'

It's the fate we wear, in these crimson threads,

Destined to be the ones left for dead.

[chorus]

I was just takin' a leak behind a rock,

When they thought I was dead, and didn't take stock.

Now I'm stranded here, all on my own,

A poor redshirt, left all alone.

[outro]

Maybe someday they'll realize,

A redshirt’s fate isn't to die.

But until then, I’ll sing this song,

Hoping someone, will come along.
