Tom: Am
F
What if aliens are real,
G
and they live a trillion years
C Em Am
And they've watched every single one of us since birth
F
What if aliens exist,
G
as an endless consciousness
C Em Am
And for fun they watch a tv show called Earth
F
There's a bunch of different storylines,
G
the moral isn't clear
C Em Am
And it feels like the writing's gone downhill in the last year
F G
And everyone's a hero painted in the proper light
C Em A7
And the show's in multicolor though it acts so black and white
Dm G7
In its hundred-millionth season for what it's worth
C
A tv show called Earth
F
As we gaze out into space,
G
they're a few feet from our face
C Em Am7
Eating popcorn drinking soda with their friends
F
Though to us it might seem cruel,
G
how they keep a betting pool
C Em Am
On the way the human storyline will end
F G
And everyone's a villain who just looks out for their own
C Em
And be careful picking favorites,
Am
'cause they all end up as bones
F
And the ensemble is pretty good,
G
the leads all mostly suck
C Em A7
And recently they've trashed the set to make a couple bucks
Dm
And a plot like that has not been seen before
Dm G7 C
They might only have a couple seasons more
F G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
C Em Am7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
F
And when the show is done,
G
by war or storm or sun
C Em Am7
I wonder if they'd want to watch again
F
Or grow bored with what what we do,
G
and move on to something new
C Em Am
Saying "Earth was decent, seven out of ten"
F
"I liked the dancing and the music
G
and the sea foam on the shore
C Em Am
I wish the writers had been kind enough to sprinkle that in more
F
'Cause the war bits and the poverty,
G
I wasn't a fan of
C Em A7
But I really dug on all the parts where humans fell in love"
Dm G7
See they've watched us from our primordial dawn
C Em A7
Until the very last one of us was gone
Dm G7 C Em A7
And one turns to the other with the clicker in his hand and says
Dm G7 C
"That was fun, let's see what else is on"
F G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
C Em Am7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
