I live on planet Earth and the planet is good;
And this is my house, and this is my backyard:
This is where I sit with no clear view;
This is the government, and this is the mudslide --
And we haven't called the electric man.
I put my helmet on, test the powerlines:
Only at night I see the disproportion:
It imbalance my sleep and my education.
And when my friends come to check,
They not see me, I not see them,
But they know the way out:
In this blackout, they shall touch the wall
And get back to safety with precision,
But I shall remain in contact with mercury
[I take the tranquilizers from loopholes
And it gets me terrible marks and terrible sight]
I live on planet Earth and the planet is good;
And this is my house, and this is my backyard:
This is from where I leave for duty;
And this is my beautiful friend, and this is our laugh --
And we haven't changed much.
A drill on the wall makes me cough:
The workers, they work for money:
I shall present myself in delineation.
And I really want to be your friend!
Blast me, vapourise me off this clout!
Rescue me from this pressurised suit!
Build me a home and wire the earth
Please! Don't let me depart! --
If needed, I destroy my artilleries for you!
[But I know you're not there in any latitude
On my radar, under my ship, or submarine.]
I live on planet Earth and the planet is good;
And this is my house, and this is my backyard:
This is where I sit, with no clear view.
