B                                          F#m D
They made me put all my things in a silver case
B                                      F#m  A
Took my blood and my name and asked my age
B                                    F#m  D
Told me all my friends were on their way
    B
And I'm just late in the game

Chorus:
A
But oh, God
C#m                    B
I don't want to go to Mars
                                A
What kind of brainwashed idiot does?
           C#m              B
It's all a lab rat life in jars
                          A
They branded the dream of ages
C#m                    B
I don't want to go to Mars
                               A
Be with me here and return to dust
        C#m                  B
We can borrow your parents' car
                         F#m A
And take it to all our places

They made this terrible thing look like a train
There's something sweet in the air what I can't say
Would I like a drink to calm the brain?
Oh please stay in your chairs

Chorus:
But oh, God
I don't want to go to Mars
What kind of brainwashed idiot does?
It's all a lab-rat life in jars
They branded the dream of ages
I don't want to go to Mars
Be with me here and return to dust
We can borrow your parents' car
And take it to all our places

C                 D     E
(I don't want to go to Mars)
C                 D     E
(I don't want to go to Mars)
C                 D     E
(I don't want to go to Mars)
C              D
(I don't want to...)

It's been another four years and not one birthday cake
We sometimes sleep all day and never shake
You can hike the abyss with a friend you hate
Oh! I miss the news and change

Chorus:
But oh, God
I don't want to go to Mars
What kind of brainwashed idiot does?
It's all a lab-rat life in jars
They branded the dream of ages
I don't want to go to Mars
Be with me here and return to dust
We can borrow your parents' car
And take it to all our places

A                C#m    B
(I don't want to go to Mars)
A                C#m    B
(I don't want to go to Mars)
A                C#m    B
(I don't want to go to Mars)
A                C#m    B
(I don't want to go to Mars)
