Planet Earth

I heard a girl from L.A.
say she'd go all the way
i heard there's no reason why
i heard that now's the time to buy
on planet earth
i'll probably stay
on planet earth
it's a place to live your life
where pleasure follows pain
people go insane
fly around in plane
pray that it won't rain
drive around in cars
get drunk in local bars
dream of being stars
well i lived all my life on planet earth
i heard a girl from san francisco
say her boyfriend ate her hole
i saw her try to catch a man
things i couldn't understand
i saw a man on a stage
scream "put me back in my cage"
i saw him hang by his tie
i saw enough to make me cry
on planet earth
(i lived all my life)
