I Faked The Moon Landing
“I Faked The Moon Landing” by Men From Earth.
Lyrics:
Dying in my bed, I leaned over and said:
I’ve got one thing left to confess
I got involved with the wrong crowd
helped to create a global mess
So before I turn cold my story must be told.
I faked the moon landing
Thought the purpose I was serving was much higher
but the consequence was dire
I faked the moon landing
Can’t take the world branding me a liar
I need the cleansing fire
Please forgive me
Did you see the photographs?
Faking them was such a laugh
in a old air hangar in the sticks
While the real moon shone at night
we worked beneath the fake stage lights
with our moon dust made from ground-up bricks
That wasn’t Buzz next to the LEM,
just a guy who looked like him
I faked the moon landing
When I cashed the cheque I knew I’d sold my soul
and the years they took their toll
I faked the moon landing
It’s my dying wish to get some closure now
but I’m really not sure how
My memory for the facts isn’t what it used to be
I tried so hard for years to put it behind me
A world got taken in by our conspiracy
I don’t want to that to be my only legacy
Later on that night I woke up with a fright
A silhouette was standing over me
Then a pillow lined with lace came up across my face
I could not breathe, I could not see
I felt my life egress
At least I managed to confess
