Crash and Burn
(tune: "Fun, Fun, Fun")
Words by Andy Wheeler
Inspired by the movie "Robot Jox"
1994

			Well, Achilles was ready to fight the Confederation
			He was the only jox to survive nine confrontations
			And with the lasers blastin' he went out to defend the nation
			And he will crash and burn 'till Athena takes his robot away.

Well, Achilles can't stand it 'cause he's one win from being an Ace now And if he beats Alexander he will win some Alaska space now But Alexander has plans to stomp on Achilles' face now And he will crash and burn 'till Athena takes his robot away.
Athena knew all along that she was a better jox now And when she took Achilles' robot she was hoping she could knock off his socks now But if Achilles didn't save her Alexander'd send her home in a box now And I can't believe Joe Haldeman wrote the screenplay!
