The View from Mars Lyrics

On Mars there is this alien or thing

Whatever you want to call it

And he has a big house in a big yard and a wife and kids

He goes to work everyday he comes back home

He sleeps and then he goes to work again

And his life is pretty good as far as you can tell

On Mars there is a sort of thing

Or maybe more like things

They live there

In a kind of perfect peace

With no need for boundaries

No need for weapons

No one dies

No one hurts nothing happens

There is no life on Mars

Only sand and rocks it seems

There is no life on Mars

I don't get what you mean

There's no such thing as money

No such thing as poor

You get everything you want

Just knock at any door

They know everything there is to know

As smart as man can be

They built homes buildings sites

Society is considered to be perfect, maybe

There is no life on Mars

Only sand and rocks it seems

There is no life on Mars

I don't get what you mean

So the guy was telling you about before

Sometimes he looks down on earth and he thinks

Wow, what must it be like to live on Earth

What must it be like to feel and love and experience real emotions

Because in his world everything is exactly the same

His neighbor is the same as his

The future is already set

Already concrete

He knows it as well as he knows the past

So what must it be like to live on earth

What must it be like to love and hate

Because in his mind

Hate and love they come together

They're the same thing you know

Cut from the same cloth

What must it be like to live on Earth

And he knows, he knows that if he lived on Earth one day he would die

But it doesn't really matter 'cause at least he lived

A life worth living

A life worth telling about

That I could tell his children

And his children's children

And his children's children's children

What must it be like to live on Earth

And he can't breathe

He can't breathe

He doesn't exist

He doesn't exist

There is no life on Mars

Only sand and rocks it seems

There is no life on Mars

I don't get what you mean
