Well Im 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 youve done
We got the aero plane, we got the automobile We got sky scraper buildings made of glass and steel Weve 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 dont say that youve been telling me lies But why do I hear those childrens cries
Im a stranger here, Im just looking around
I see the aero planes carrying the bombs Why, youve even found people to drop them on You know you cant keep what you take by force But its only my first impression of course.

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 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 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 Ill go back home where I come from.
