A TV Show Called Earth

                    C
What if aliens are real,
                         D
and they live a trillion years
                     G           Bm               Em
And they've watched every single one of us since birth
                C
What if aliens exist,
                       D
as an endless consciousness
         G               Bm              Em
And for fun they watch a tv show called Earth
           C
There's a bunch of different storylines,
     D
the moral isn't clear
        G              Bm                Em
And it feels like the writing's gone downhill in the last year
     C                        D
And everyone's a hero painted in the proper light
         G             Bm               E7
And the show's in multicolor though it acts so black and white
        Am                                     D7
In its hundred-millionth season for what it's worth
                  G
a tv show called Earth
                     C
As we gaze out into space,
                             D
they're a few feet from our face
        G                Bm              Em7
Eating popcorn drinking soda with their friends
                            C
Though to us it might seem cruel,
                         D
how they keep a betting pool
        G             Bm            Em
On the way the human storyline will end
     C                             D
And everyone's a villain who just looks out for their own
        G                Bm
And be careful picking favorites,
             Em
'cause they all end up as bones
         C
And the ensemble is pretty good,
     D
the leads all mostly suck
     G                Bm                 E7
And recently they've trashed the set to make a couple bucks
       Am
And a plot like that has not been seen before
            Am          D7             G
They might only have a couple seasons more
         C                       D
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
             G      Bm      Em7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
                      C
And when the show is done,
                    D
by war or storm or sun
   G                Bm            Em7
I wonder if they'd want to watch again
                                C
Or grow bored with what what we do,
                          D
and move on to something new
        G                  Bm          Em
Saying "Earth was decent, seven out of ten"
              C
"I liked the dancing and the music
         D
and the sea foam on the shore
            G                Bm             Em
I wish the writers had been kind enough to sprinkle that in more
           C
'Cause the war bits and the poverty,
   D
I wasn't a fan of
       G            Bm                   E7
But I really dug on all the parts where humans fell in love"
             Am                             D7
See they've watched us from our primordial dawn
           G         Bm            E7
Until the very last one of us was gone
    Am                D7             G      Bm      E7
And one turns to the other with the clicker in his hand and says
 Am                   D7              G
"That was fun, let's see what else is on"
         C                       D
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
             G      Bm      Em7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
