Alien

Byrd / 4/2022

If there’s anybody out there

Takin’ stock of who we are

It must blow your mind

Since the start of time

We’ve not come very far

For there are those that still fear anyone

Who might look different than they do

This beautiful world has an ugly side

Thinly veiled, you see right through

Speeches have been given

Books have been written

We go marchin’ in the name of love

Two steps forward and three steps back

You call that progress

I’m not too sure about that

Alien

What must you think of us

For all we’ve done

To this here mother earth

Alien

Is there still time enough

To get it together

Before the closing bell gets us first

Don’t get me wrong in this world

There’s much love and kindness to be found

It gets overshadowed by the constant noise

Of politicians, hucksters and clowns

Every day humanity

Goes twelve rounds of heavy blows

We spin the wheel, where it stops

Nobody knows

But from where you sit in your galaxy

It’s all just dinner and a show

(Enjoy that entertainment baby)

Alien

What must you think of us

For all we’ve done

To this here mother earth

Alien

Is there still time enough

To get our shit together

Before the closing bell gets us first

*Any advice would be much appreciated

‘Cause uh…obviously we’ve lost the plot

*BTW if you run into Major Tom

Give him our best…
