A TV Show Called Earth - Acoustic

[Verse 1]
What if aliens are real
And they live a trillion years
And they've watched every single one of us since birth

What if aliens exist
As an endless consciousness
And for fun, they watch a TV show called Earth

[Chorus]
And there's a bunch of different storylines
The moral isn't clear
And it feels like the writing's gone downhill in the last year

And everyone's a hero
Painted in the proper light
And the show's in multicolor though it acts so black and white

In its hundred-millionth season for what it's worth
A TV show called Earth

[Verse 2]
As we gaze out into space
They're a few feet from our face
Eating popcorn, drinking soda with their friends

Though to us, it might seem cruel
How they keep a betting pool
On the way the human storyline will end

[Chorus]
'Cause everyone's a villain
Who just looks out for their own
And be careful picking favorites, 'cause they all end up as bones

And the ensemble is pretty good
The leads all mostly suck
And recently they've trashed the set to make a couple bucks

And a plot like that has not been seen before
They might only have a couple seasons more

[Bridge]
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

[Verse 3]
And when the show is done
By war or storm or sun
I wonder, would they want to watch again

Or grow bored with what we do
And move on to something new
Saying "Earth was decent, seven out of ten"

[Chorus]
"I liked the dancing and the music
And the sea foam on the shore
I wish the writers had been kind enough to sprinkle that in more

'Cause the war bits and the poverty
I wasn't a fan of
But I really dug on all the parts where humans fell in love"

See, they watched us from our primordial dawn
Until the very last one of us was gone

And one turns to the other with the clicker in his hand and says
"That was fun, let's see what else is on"
