they call me a rare candy
i take it it to another level
being good is feeling bad
so go prepare for trouble
(to protect the world from devastation
to unite all peoples within our nation
to denounce the evils of truth and love
to extend our reach to the stars above)
living in a world right outside of sight
surrender now or prepare to fight
rockin' like team rocket
bombs tick tick tockin' in my pocket
and so i guess this is the end
because i'm blasting off again
(that's right)

Georges Guynemer was a French ace in the early days of aviation. He was the 11th most successful ace of the war, and France's 2nd highest ranking pilot with 53 confirmed victories. Rene Fonck topped the list of French aviators, second only to the great Manfred von Richthofen, but Guynemer was the idol of the French people.
Unlike Fonck, he was a shy, reserved character who the public were desperate to know more about. Fonck on the other hand was well aware of his fame and played on it at every opportunity.
