David asked for a cover of this wonderful filk song... so Devin made two. One as a standard cover, and a second (harder) version as per the request of David. Originally written and recorded by Chris Weber.

CHORUS:
HEAR THEM ROAR
HEAR THEM ROAR
HEAR THEM MIGHTY ENGINES ROAR
HEAR THEM ROAR
V1:
Birds were meant to fly the skies
Ships were meant to sail the seas
Put that steam engine back in the mines
Mr. Fouton, it will only cause a fire
Hear them roar
CHORUS
V2:
Sure they made one and it ran
But you can't build them for all
Horseless carriages are toys for the rich
Mr Ford why don't you go back to Detroit?
Hear them roar
CHORUS:
V3:
Look it's time to study now
Don't you know you have to read
Something more than that Buck Rodgers stuff
Mr. Armstrong kindly see me after class
Hear them roar
CHORUS
V4:
Birds were meant to fly the skies
Human spirits meant to soar
As we honor those who gave their lives
In their footsteps we'll venture into space
Hear them roar
