well im a stranger here on this place called earth

and I was sent down here to discover the worth

of your little blue planet third from the sun

c'mon and show me what you've done

we've got the aeroplane, we got the automobile,

we got skyscraping buildings made of glass and steel

we got synthetic food that nearly tastes real

and a little white pill that makes you feel

heyyyyyy 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 dont say that you've been telling me lies

but why do I hear those children's cries?

Im a stranger here - im just looking around

I see the aeroplanes carrying the bombs

why you even find people to drop them on

you know you cant keep what you take by force

but its only my first impression of course

Im 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.....

ohhhhhh you crazy fools dont 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 wont come twice

well im a stranger here on 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 will go back home where I come from
