A Tv Show Called Earth

                    F
What if aliens are real,
                         G
and they live a trillion years
                     C           Em               Am
And they've watched every single one of us since birth
                F
What if aliens exist,
                       G
as an endless consciousness
         C               Em              Am
And for fun they watch a tv show called Earth
           F
There's a bunch of different storylines,
     G
the moral isn't clear
        C              Em                Am
And it feels like the writing's gone downhill in the last year
     F                        G
And everyone's a hero painted in the proper light
         C             Em               A7
And the show's in multicolor though it acts so black and white
        Dm                                     G7
In its hundred-millionth season for what it's worth
                  C
A tv show called Earth
                     F
As we gaze out into space,
                             G
they're a few feet from our face
        C                Em              Am7
Eating popcorn drinking soda with their friends
Continues after the ad
                            F
Though to us it might seem cruel,
                         G
how they keep a betting pool
        C             Em            Am
On the way the human storyline will end
     F                             G
And everyone's a villain who just looks out for their own
        C                Em
And be careful picking favorites,
             Am
'cause they all end up as bones
         F
And the ensemble is pretty good,
     G
the leads all mostly suck
     C                Em                 A7
And recently they've trashed the set to make a couple bucks
       Dm
And a plot like that has not been seen before
            Dm          G7             C
They might only have a couple seasons more
         F                       G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
             C      Em      Am7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
                      F
And when the show is done,
                    G
by war or storm or sun
   C                Em            Am7
I wonder if they'd want to watch again
                                F
Or grow bored with what what we do,
                          G
and move on to something new
        C                  Em          Am
Saying "Earth was decent, seven out of ten"
              F
"I liked the dancing and the music
         G
and the sea foam on the shore
            C                Em             Am
I wish the writers had been kind enough to sprinkle that in more
           F
'Cause the war bits and the poverty,
   G
I wasn't a fan of
       C            Em                   A7
But I really dug on all the parts where humans fell in love"
             Dm                             G7
See they've watched us from our primordial dawn
           C         Em            A7
Until the very last one of us was gone
    Dm                G7             C      Em      A7
And one turns to the other with the clicker in his hand and says
 Dm                   G7              C
"That was fun, let's see what else is on"
         F                       G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
             C      Em      Am7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
