I look down on that tiny blue world
With all them crazy creatures running ‘round
They eat themselves out of house and home
Till there ain't nothing found
I watch their weird old TV shows
Lots of violence, blood, and gore
Some witless guy is telling unfunny jokes
And people shouting out for more
What is going on down there
Just gotta know
All them silly vertebrates
Rockin’ to and fro
They act like stupid girls
It’s a horror show
I look down on that tiny blue world
With all them people with their bad behavior
They don’t take no responsibility
Just leaving it up to their savior
They eat a lot of meat
And they eat a lot of salt
And when something goes wrong
It’s never their own fault
They be weird and they be wicked
They be hateful and strange
No matter how much you try to help them out
They ain’t ever gonna change
