| Mars Green was the color of the grass that grew Blue was the color where the sky birds flew Fragrant and deep was how the river rolled Wistful with longing are the stories told And we're up here on Mars and they say This time its a man's world So count your lucky stars each day They pulled out the water from beneath our feet Forests to deserts and dust to eat Dirty rain falls into a warming sea On the sub-urban prairie ghosts of buffalo run free And we're up here on Mars and they say This time its a man's world So count your lucky stars each day Sing this song of sorrow What is this we've finally lost? We are our own echo Proved our size and here's the cost Sing a song of sorrow They sold us hero legends. manifest destiny We bought natural selection, greed and vanity We traded all our days for a future of night Recycled air and artificial light And we're up here on Mars In this world that's man-made And we count our lucky stars each day Sing this song of sorrow What is this we've finally lost? We are our own echo Proved our size and here's the cost Sing a song of sorrow |
