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.
