F
What if aliens are real,
                         G
and they live a trillion years
                    C           Em     
And they've watched every single one of 
         Am
us since birth
                F
What if aliens exist,
                       G
as an endless consciousness
        C               Em             
And for fun they watch a tv show called 
Am
Earth
           F
There's a bunch of different storylines,
     G
the moral isn't clear
       C              Em            
And it feels like the writing's gone 
   Am
downhill in the last year
    F                        G
And everyone's a hero painted in the 
proper light
        C             Em              
And the show's in multicolor though it 
A7
acts so black and white
       Dm                               
In its hundred-millionth season for what 
     G7
it's worth
                  C
A tv show called Earth
                     F
As we gaze out into space,
                             G
they're a few feet from our face
       C                Em             
Eating popcorn drinking soda with their 
Am7
friends
                            F
Though to us it might seem cruel,
                         G
how they keep a betting pool
        C             Em            Am
On the way the human storyline will end
    F                             G
And everyone's a villain who just looks 
out for their own
        C                Em
And be careful picking favorites,
             Am
'cause they all end up as bones
         F
And the ensemble is pretty good,
     G
the leads all mostly suck
    C                Em                
And recently they've trashed the set to 
A7
make a couple bucks
      Dm
And a plot like that has not been seen 
before
           Dm          G7            
They might only have a couple seasons 
C
more
         F                       G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
             C      Em      Am7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
                      F
And when the show is done,
                    G
by war or storm or sun
   C                Em            Am7
I wonder if they'd want to watch again
                                F
Or grow bored with what what we do,
                          G
and move on to something new
       C                  Em          
Saying "Earth was decent, seven out of 
Am
ten"
              F
"I liked the dancing and the music
         G
and the sea foam on the shore
           C                Em         
I wish the writers had been kind enough 
   Am
to sprinkle that in more
           F
'Cause the war bits and the poverty,
   G
I wasn't a fan of
      C            Em                  
But I really dug on all the parts where 
A7
humans fell in love"
            Dm                 
See they've watched us from our 
           G7
primordial dawn
           C         Em            A7
Until the very last one of us was gone
   Dm                G7            
And one turns to the other with the 
C      Em      A7
clicker in his hand and says
Dm                   G7              C
"That was fun, let's see what else is on"
         F                       G
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
             C      Em      Am7
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
