Philip Labes - A TV Show Called Earth 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 it's hundrеd-millionth season for
What it's worth a TV show called Earth

As we gazе 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

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 it's hundrеd-millionth season for
What it's worth a TV show called Earth
'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've 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

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"

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 it's hundrеd-millionth season for
What it's worth a TV show called Earth
"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 bit's 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 us from our primordial dawn
Until the very last one of us was gone
And one turns to the other with the
Clicker in his hand and says
"That was fun, let's see what else is on"

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
