Oops! Wrong Planet

Why, why was i born to know what i must know
I can see the sky, but i can't see the ground below
Where do i go

Falling in a trap where traitors wait
Lost love is the bait
But the martyr never knows
He is caught in a dream of his own
When it's over where does he go
Who really knows

Time stands between me and my home
So long ago
I can't stand to wait
But i can't force my body to go
Where do i go

Crying, he is blind to everyone
And that's how its done
And the martyr never knows
Who really knows
I know in my heart
I could change the world
With just this guitar
Who really knows

Hey mister exxon
Won't you have pity
Won't you have pity on the guiltless ones
Hey mister chrysler
Won't you think about it
Won't you think about it? judgment day has begun
What will become of tomorrow's children
Who gives a damn for tomorrow's children
Pay no mind, you just keep on takin'
Keep on takin' 'til there's nothing at all
Sit on your hands and don't say nothin'
Cover your eyes, you won't see nothin'

Cry for the innocent sent to war
(don't tell a soul)
Shed a tear for the one's waiting at the door
(they'll never know)
It's the last generation of a world gone blind
(you better watch your tongue)
It's the violation of the unborn child
It's the rape of the young

Hey mister general
Can't you find something
Can't you find something else to do for a buck
Hey mister president
Nobody listens
Nobody listens 'til we've run out of luck
Nobody cares for unborn troubles
Why should you care, it's too much trouble
You got yours so it just don't bug ya
It just don't bug ya 'cause you won't be around

You took that last corner too fast
Careened up against the side wall
For a moment everything went black
Woke up inside somebody else's hideaway in a distant place
Don't know your name or know this face
And what you don't know hurts you so
It can only be that way
Feel yourself becoming someone else
We may yet see that light at the end of the tunnel
If we can find a way to keep things under control
The web of life connects each of us to the other
So it's no use pretending that you alone run the show
Just like a moth too close to the fire explodes
Though the myth is exposed
You're still looking for windows in the sky
Supernatural paradise is the place you are looking for
All you need is a miracle divine
All that's left is you alone
Loneliness is all you own
Feel yourself becoming someone else

Brother john saw visions of god
So they put him in chains
For acting too odd
As the crowd shouted, "off with his head"
The priest said, "have mercy
Let's burn him instead"

Trapped
Trapped in a world that he never made

I woke up with my head on the floor
In a windowless cell
A room full of doors
I got lost, now i'm so far behind
Took so much advice
Forgot my own mind

Trapped
Trapped in a world that i never made

We can't be slowed down by a big bunch of lip
And nobody cares about your paranoid trip
You know death and the devil sure got it easy today
Souls come so cheap some people give theirs away
You've got to break out, you've got to prove you're alive
What makes you think that the weak survive

And if you don't have the stomach
For all this radical crap
Then have the guts to stand for something
Or you're gonna be trapped

Trapped
Trapped in a world that you never made

Name your price
A ticket to paradise
I can't stay here any more
And i've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore to shore
If there's a short cut i'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it

Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer

Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We're all homeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me, is it worth just another try?

Tell me, are we alive, or just a dying planet?
What are the chances?
Ask the man in your heart for the answers

And when you feel afraid, love one another
When you've lost your way, love one another
When you're all alone, love one another
When you're far from home, love one another
When you're down and out, love one another
All your hope's run out, love one another
When you need a friend, love one another
When you're near the end, love one another
We got to love one another

Light of the world, you got to shine
Love will be a means, yeah, yeah
Shine on us all
Know that love can save the day
Just give it one more chance
Lord you just can't let it stop lord
Love is the answer
Got to be free to let love into your life
Let it shine

No place to hide
And no where to run
Nothing you can do because a change must come
You can't stop it

You got your tail in the air
Your head in the ground
Money, money, money makes your world go 'round
You can't stop it

You can't stop, you can't stop, you can't stop, you can't stop
You can't stop love in action

You just joined the clan
Your head's full of sand
You need a bunch of friends to make you feel like a man
But you can't stop it

Yeah, you could be the last trace of the master race
The nazis really send you to another place
Still you can't stop it
You can't stop love in action
