BAJORAN IN THE UFP
Lyrics by Arthur Levesque -- bs@boog.org -- http://boog.org
(To the tune of "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen)

Born when we were occupied
My parents resisted and they both got fried
End up a young pup living on the street
Til we heard the Cardassians just got beat

Bajoran in the UFP
I'm a bajoran in the UFP
I'm a bajoran in the UFP
Bajoran in the UFP

Enlisted in the Fed's Starfleet
Cuz they put our planet on its feet
For the first time I'm safe and warm
Felt that way in this uniform

Bajoran in the UFP
I'm a bajoran in the UFP
I'm a bajoran in the UFP
I'm a bajoran in the UFP
Bajoran in the UFP

Saw new worlds and made lots of friends
Learned that nothing justified some ends
Saw Starfleet as my savior
'Til I learn of its behavior

Our ship went to the Badlands
Met former Starfleet hands
They had nothing there to prove
They loved their worlds, didn't want to move
I watched my Starfleet and I couldn't approve

Crossing the neutral zone Cardassian side
I'm all on my own, but I kept my pride
Five light years away from my ship
Not gonna run, phaser gun on my hip

Bajoran in the UFP
I'm a bajoran in the UFP
Bajoran in the UFP
Didn't leave the UFP but it left me
Bajoran in the UFP
Bajoran in the UFP
Bajoran in the UFP
I'm a Federation citizen in the Maquis, now
