i was born on planet earth    the rotating ball where man comes first    it's been around for a long, long time    but now its time to watch it die    i saw a man on my big blue screen    he ruled the world economy    he said the rich would never concede    but someday soon he'll be put to sleep    i've seen the life of the forest green    and adaptations of the deep blue sea    and who knows who is the fittest    they will all soon be put to rest    on a plunging flight and we're sitting    in the pilots seat in the midst of life    people on a dark horizon praying    somebody will save their lives    i was born on the planet earth    at a drastic time full of plastic mirth    and every day i've seen increasing signs    and you would too if you'd opened your eyes    you had a chance you did not try    so now it's time to watch it die
