Earth has big problems – I think it is proved
Too many people – too little food
Party is over – it’s ending in tears
Dinosaurs lasted for thousands of years
Nature’s gone psycho – extreme is the norm
One day it’s earthquake – next day it’s storm
Earth is a clown with a frown on its face
Earth is an astronaut cut loose in space
Chorus:
Earth is an astronaut cut loose in space
Heading for somewhere that no one will trace
One final cry it relays back to base
Houston – we have a problem
Just like old Hubbard – our cupboard is bare
Poisoned our planet – polluted the air
Tangle it is – the web that we weave
Cut down the trees – now we cannot breathe
5 loaves two fishes and twelve of his chums
Jesus fed thousands then picked up the crumbs
That kind of talent we need to replace
Earth is an astronaut cut loose in space
Chorus:
Two nasty thugs – supply & demand
Ply you with drugs - ‘til they’re in command
When you are hooked you dance to their tune
Consume to live - don’t live to consume
Ring down the curtain – I’m finished my song
Maybe I’m right – I know I’m not wrong
Look all around you – I rest my case
Earth is an astronaut cut loose in space.
