Life on Earth

There's nobody moving on a choked-out street
Are they too busy doing the concrete city shake in the heat-haze
Man were you looking for a reason to change
Why don't you look around see it's getting worse
As far as reasons go didn't that used to be enough
Why wouldn't that be enough

Have we had our fun but could we give it up
Is this fun and could we even give it up

And if something's looking down and thinking
What about the life on earth
I wouldn't waste your time
On such a little love
For tomorrow that ain't right here right now
All I'm saying is if something's looking down
Is it worth the fuss
Hey it's a lovely place but it's got the human touch

I open the news
It's all about the war today
Then the companies lose and everybody gets to pay
You better bend before you break
We're a top-line fever
And like a fever we'll fade away

Until the human being's just a long forgotten name
I said the human being's just a long forgotten name

And if something's looking down and thinking
What about the life on earth
I wouldn't waste your time
On such a little love
For tomorrow that ain't right here right now
All I'm saying is if something's looking down
That ain't worth the fuss
Oh it's a lovely place but it's got the human touch

And if something's looking down and thinking
What about this life on earth
Hey I wouldn't waste your time
On such a little love
For tomorrow that ain't right here right now
All I'm saying is if something's looking down
And if something's looking down
