DaBruuzer - Red Shirt Blues Lyrics

I hear that sound it's all around
The klaxon blares I hit the ground
There's no mistake: it's a Red Alert
Jump into action and grab my shirt
Red Alert! Oh Red Alert!
I wish that I had a different shirt!
Captain I feel the tension rise
As we beam down from the Enterprise
On every planet strange and new
I'm the one who's doomed it's true
Got my phaser set to stun
But it won't save me when I run
From Klingons or from Tribble swarms
Red shirts fall in all their forms
I'm just a red shirt living in fear
One step from danger it's always near
In Starfleet we're the expendable crew
Wearing crimson singing the red shirt blues
On the bridge I'm just a name
Part of the mission part of the game
When the Captain says "Engage"
I hope this time I'll leave the stage
Scanners out tricorders too
Avoid the Gorn and Tholian crew
The odds are never in my favor
Red shirts never find a savior
I'm just a red shirt living in fear
One step from danger it's always near
We're this ship's expendable crew
Wearing crimson singing the red shirt blues
Oh Spock and Kirk they're always okay
Bones keeps hitting them with a hypo-spray
Just once we'd like to make it through
But this red shirt says it won't come true
Wearin' a red shirt it's not okay
Wonderin' if this will be the day
Phasers are flyin' and shields are low
But wearing red means it's my time to go
I'm just a red shirt living in fear
One step from danger it's always near
Starfleet thinks we're the expendable crew
Wearing crimson singing the red shirt blues
So if you see me on the transporter pad
Know my fate is locked but don't be sad
So be happy you're not in our shoes
Here I am singing the red shirt blues
