I think your little mushroom trip
Was actually kind of accurate
You said that they would all just float away
They climbed upon their new starship
Your leader made a plan of it
To leave you behind, that's what you say.
Well, now we're flying through the clouds
Can't hear you 'cause the engine's loud
You can see them but you may just hurt your neck
From looking up and feeling down
While the planet turns to brown
And they are floating safely overhead.
You hear them saying that
We'll all just move to mars
Tickets are a fortune but we'll be so far
We'll all just move to mars
Earth is just a planet for the poor.
I think your small conspiracy
That soon the rich will raise the sea
And set what little land that's left ablaze
May soon be the reality
They'll die of age before they see
The damages once we've all cleared the haze.
And we'll be here if we survive
Apocalypse before our eyes
Stranded here in this purgatory
The only way to save our lives
From this unpleasant, sad demise
Is to have the one percent's share of money.
Just get that money and
We'll all just move to mars
Tickets are a fortune but we'll be so far
We'll all just move to mars
Earth is just a planet for the poor.
We'll all just move to mars
Tickets are a fortune but we'll be so far
We'll all just move to mars
Earth is just a planet for
Earth is just a planet for
Earth is just a planet for the poor.
