A DOWN TO EARTH SONG Oct. 3/84 Karl Rigelhof

CHORUS:
This is a down to Earth song
Everybody sing along
Even if you're from Venus or Mars
Or visiting from some other distant star
Sing this down to Earth song
Lalaladeda, lalaladeday
Dodododowa, hihihihihey

The interstellar reflex
To the chain of events
Was to blame it on human defects
A factor the computers could not invent

The intergalactic conquest
Was a failure from the start
Upon the surrender request
They blew their world apart

The inter solar contest
Towards total obliteration
The radiation deflects
In a curve around the sun

We won't be the one's
To fall under the laser guns
When the fighting has begun
You know that we will run
As fast and as far as we can
To escape the race of man
And hide from the light of the sun
As it burns to supernova

The terrestrial aspects
Were too feeble a reaction
To pay their last respects
Was only a meager distraction

The interracial conflicts
Spelled the ruin of mankind
Their uncertain future is hard to predict
If only they could find
Their way back down to Earth

CHORUS:
To sing this down to Earth song
Everybody sing along
Whether you're from Venus or Mars
Or visiting from some other distant star
Sing along with this down to Earth song
Lalalaladeda, lalalaladeday
Dododododowa, heyheyheyheyheyhi
Lalalaladeda, lalalaladeday
Dododododowa, mymymymyheyhey
