I'm A Stranger Here [single Version] Lyrics - Absolutely Right: The Best Of Five Man Electrical Band - Five Man Electrical Band

Well, I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth 

And I was sent down here to discover the worth 

Of your little blue planet third from the Sun 

Come on and show me what you've done 

We've got the aeroplane, we've got the automobile 

We've got sky scraping buildings made of glass and steel 

We've got synthetic food that nearly tastes real 

And a little white pill that makes you feel, "Hey" 

A whole lot better when you get outta bed 

You take one in the morning for the long day ahead 

We've got everything everybody needs to survive 

Surely the good life has arrived 

I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes 

And your concrete mountains are blacking out the skies 

Now I don't say that you've been telling me lies 

But why do I hear those children's cries? 

'Cause I'm a stranger here, I'm just looking around 

I see the aeroplanes carrying the bombs 

Why, you've even found people to drop them on 

You know you can't keep what you take by force 

But it's only my first impression of course 

And I'm a stranger here on your planet Earth 

We've got the rivers and the mountains 

And the valleys and the trees 

We've got the birds in the sky, we've got the fish in the sea 

We've got the 

Oh you crazy fools 

Don't you know you had it made 

You were living in paradise 

But take it from one who knows 

Who knows the gates of heaven can close 

I only pray that you take my advice 

'Cause paradise won't come twice 

Well, I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth 

And I was sent down here to discover the worth 

Of your little blue planet third from the Sun 

I think I'll go back home where I come from
