audio clip - Five Man Electrical Band


changed my audio clip today... love these lyrics (and the tune) ... wish someone would put a better video on youtube for this

Well I’m a stranger here in this place called Earth 
and I was sent down here to discover the worth 
of your little blue planet third from the sun 
Come on and show me what you’ve done 

We've got the aeroplane, we got the automobile 
We got sky scraping buildings made of glass and steel 
We’ve got synthetic food that nearly tastes real 
And a little white pill that makes you feel 
Hey a whole lot better when you get out of bed 
You take one in the morning for the long day ahead 
We got everything everybody needs to survive 
Surely the good life has arrived 

I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes 
And your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies 
now I don’t say that you’ve been telling me lies 
But why do I hear those children’s cries?

I’m a stranger here - i’m just looking around 

I see the aeroplanes carrying the bombs 
Why you’ve even found people to drop them on 
You know you can’t keep what you take by force 
but it’s only my first impression of course

Well I’m a stranger here on your planet Earth 

We got the rivers and the mountains and the valleys and the trees 
We got the birds in the sky we got the fish in the sea 
We got the – 
ohhh you crazy fools don’t you know you had it made 
you were living in paradise 
but take it from one who knows 
who knows the gates of Heaven can close 
I only pray that you take my advice 
because Paradise won’t come twice 

well I’m a stranger here in this place called Earth 
and I was sent down here to discover the worth 
of your little blue planet third from the sun 
I think i'll go back home where I come from
