A TV Show Called Earth (Acoustic) Lyrics

What if aliens are real and they live a trillion years

And they've watched every single one of us since birth

What if aliens exist as an endless consciousness

And for fun they watch a TV show called Earth

And there's a bunch of different storylines the moral isn't clear

And it feels like the writing's gone downhill in the last year

And everyone's a hero painted in the proper light

And the show's in multicolor though it acts so black and white

In its hundred-millionth season for what it's worth

A TV show called Earth

As we gaze out into space they're a few feet from our face

Eating popcorn drinking soda with their friends

Though to us it might seem cruel how they keep a betting pool

On the way the human storyline will end

'Cause everyone's a villain who just looks out for their own

And be careful picking favorites 'cause they all end up as bones

And the ensemble is pretty good the leads all mostly suck

And recently they trashed the set to make a couple bucks

And a plot like that has not been seen before

They might only have a couple seasons more

Nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

Nah nah nah nah nah

And when the show is done by war or storm or sun

I wonder would they want to watch again

Or grow bored with what what we do and move on to something new

Saying "Earth was decent, seven out of ten"

"I liked the dancing and the music and the sea foam on the shore

I wish the writers had been kind enough to sprinkle that in more

'Cause the war bits and the poverty I wasn't a fan of

But I really dug on all the parts where humans fell in love"

See they watched from our primordial dawn

Until the very last one of us was gone

And one turns to the other with a clicker in his hand and says

"That was fun, let's see what else is on"
