" It's a science fiction war song about a guy some time in the future who's mining ore on Mars and hears about an intergalactic war. He goes up and he enlists in the Federation and fights, he enlists for a, er, for a tour of eighteen years, and-a, he goes off to fight in outer space and, er, gets kind of bummed out and wants to go back home. And that's about the size of it. The story is all this time and-er ".
