He wrote about spaceships and shepherds and whores,Stood up to the networks and gave 'em what for.Fox cancelled his program, but that was their loss--The creator of Firefly, the man they call Joss! Our Joss saw the viewers' hearts breakin',He heard the Browncoats' lament,He saw the Fox network takin',His show in a way that made no sense.(He said) "You can't do that to my program,Can't grind it under your heel."So he took all the cast,And now at last,They've landed a Big Damn Movie deal! He wrote about spaceships and shepherds and whores,Stood up to the networks and gave 'em what for.Fox cancelled his program, but that was their loss--The creator of Firefly, the man they call Joss! Now here is what separates Whedon,From writers who slave in the core,The man they call Joss,Well, he said to Fox,"I'm going where no show has gone before."He told us about reavers,He told us about sin,He took us to the black,And we ain't comin' back,'till all those crazy Browncoats rise again! He wrote about spaceships and shepherds and whores,Stood up to the networks and gave 'em what for.Fox cancelled his program, but that was their loss--The creator of Firefly, the man they call Joss! Now, here is what separates FireflyFrom other shows you're likely to see--It's meaningful and witty,And the setting's really gritty,And the theme song is about Serenity.It's a little like a western,And a little like X-Files,It's better than Trek,And funnier than Shrek,And it beats out Andromeda by miles! He wrote about spaceships and shepherds and whores,Stood up to the networks and gave 'em what for.Fox cancelled his program, but that was their loss--The creator of Firefly, the man they call Joss! Hero of Cantonfrom "Jaynestown" on the Firefly TV show Jayne, the man they call Jayne He robbed from the richAnd he gave to the poorStood up to the manAnd gave him what forOur love for him nowAin't hard to explainThe hero of CantonThe man they call Jayne Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'He saw the mudders' lamentAnd he saw the magistrate takin'Every dollar and leavin' five centsSo he said "you can't do that to my people"He said "you can't crush them under your heel"So Jayne strapped on his hatAnd in 5 seconds flatStole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal He robbed from the richAnd he gave to the poorStood up to the manAnd gave him what forOur love for him nowAin't hard to explainThe hero of CantonThe man they call Jayne Now here is what separates heroesFrom common folk like you and IThe man they call JayneHe turned 'round his planeAnd let that money hit skyHe dropped it onto our housesHe dropped it into our yardsThe man they called JayneHe stole away our painAnd headed out for the stars He robbed from the richAnd he gave to the poorStood up to the manAnd gave him what forOur love for him nowAin't hard to explainThe hero of CantonThe man they call Jayne. Firefly Theme Songmusic and lyrics by Joss Whedon Take my love, take my landTake me where I cannot standI don't care, I'm still freeYou can't take the sky from meTake me out to the blackTell them I ain't comin' backBurn the land and boil the seaYou can't take the sky from meThere's no place I can beSince I found SerenityBut you can't take the sky from me...
