Life On Earth?

Last night I stepped out on my balcony to get some air
And all I got was ash and smoke instead
Looked up to see the stars the only lights came from the cars
But in the clouds I saw a speck of red

If there's life on Mars
Are they gonna have to learn
To ask if there's still life on earth?

And there's a man that's on the moon
Who just reupped his lease till June
Cause he can see the smoke from where he is
And he's trying make himself believe
That everything down there's still green
And the good in people still exists

We may have to fill him in
For better or for worse
And tell him there's still life on earth

If there's life on Mars
Are they gonna have to learn
To ask if there's still life on earth?
We may have to fill 'em in
For better or for worse
And tell 'em there's still life on earth
