Aliens
If aliens visited Earth today
They'd be shocked and totally saddened
That we haven't yet made it past infancy
Silly wars we haven't abandoned
Still haven't learned the secret
As to why we humans exist
If we think it's man's inalienable right
There's a fact we've totally missed
Nobody owes us a thing in this world
Up to us to follow the right path
With thoughts of love for every being
Against wars and its terrible wrath
If aliens visited Earth today
They'd be saddened and feel such pain
Thousands of years we've inhabited Earth
The ills that plague us are the same
We're the aliens right here on Earth
Haven't yet discovered the secret
As they fly away you can hear them say
We give up, you guys can keep it!
