Humans from Earth Songtext

von T-Bone Burnett

We come from a blue planet light years away
Where everything multiples at an amazing rate
We're out here in the universe buying real estate
Hope we haven't gotten here too late

We're humans from earth
We're humans from earth
You have nothing at all to fear
And I think we're going to like it here

We're looking for a planet with atmosphere
Where the air is fresh and the water clear
With lots of sun like you have here
And three or four hundred days a year

We're humans from earth
We're humans from earth
You have nothing at all to fear
And I think we're going to like it here

We bought Manhattan for a string of beads
And we brought along some gadgets for you to see
Here's a crazy little thing we call TV
Do you have electricity?

We're humans from earth
We're humans from earth
You have nothing at all to fear
And I think we're going to like it here

I know we may look pretty strange to you
But we got know how and the golden rule
We're here to see manifest destiny through
And there ain't nothing we can't get used to
We're humans from earth
We're humans from earth
