I'm A Stranger Here

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 got the aero plane, we got the automobile

We got sky scraper 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 lovelier head

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 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 aero planes 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 and the fish in the sea

We got the -

Oh 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.
