My personal favorite BFC line makes an appearance in this tune: "When God calls me home and asks how it was, I'll say, I didn't like the people, but the planet was nice."

lyrics

Just look at the sky
And think of the stars
While we can see them
Some have burned out many eons ago
Yet still, how lovely they are

The warmth of the sun
Nice drives in a car
While we enjoy them
They will kill our children's children in time
But for now, how lucky we are

I say it seems like nobody notices
Or wants good things when there's good things to be had
It's only good if it's coming at someone elses expense
And that always makes me sad

So some people are bad
And some take things too far
And some will rape and some will kill
But still we all have a choice
So think, how lucky we are

I say it seems like nobody notices
Or wants good things when there's good things to be had
It's only good if it's coming at someone elses expense
And that always makes me sad

I'm tired of living and watching
Cause we are ruining everything and I hate it
Well, something gives me the feeling
This life was meant to be better than what we made it

When God calls me home
And ask how it was
I'll say I didn't like the people but the planet was nice
I loved it because
Wherever I looked I could see how much
You loved what you'd made
I'd think, how lovely life was
Meant to be
