Reconstruction Blues

It's been a few years since the battle for the planet

A lot of devastation every city every nation

We stuck with limitations even poison vegetation

We faced extermination but the human race survived

And to everyone's surprise we decided to rebuild

Put our strength to the test and combine every skill

But for people like me u see the mission never stops

Skull squadron on patrol and we always on the watch

I'm flying over deserts once populated cities

The epitome of life man the world was so pretty

Now its nothing but a wasteland the water isnt safe man

Life flourished on the planet now theres no trace fam

Separated from my squad had to make my own rounds

Restricted flyzone i see something on the ground

I had to take a closer look set my veritech down

I cant believe my eyes and tell the people what i found

Order out of chaos

It comes and it goes

Like the Phoenix in the flames

Death before growth

Rising from the ashes

Fires and the clashes

Natural disasters

The here after

Ain't nothing more we can do

These are the reconstruction blues

I see Flowers blooming i cant believe my own eyes

The planets reconstructing itself what a surprise

The zentradi battleships destroyed the whole surface

In just a few minutes for one simple purpose

The SDF1 was something more than it really seemed

A protoculture factory, something from our worst dreams

The only power source that the aliens required

It landed on our planet like a chariot of fire

And unbeknownst to us we decided we decided we can fix it

Develop their technology and build our own ships wit

We had it all twisted and we sprung the first booby trap

And here comes the aliens we had to fight back

Now the robotech scrap from the planets greatest battle

Covers plains in the fields where the cattle used to graze

I feel lost in a maze, and every wrong turn is death

Big brother said be brave so ima listen with respect
