Pale blue dot
Earth show me the way cuz mankind kinda makes me scowl
Pale blue dot Carl Sagan Carl Sagan Carl Sagan Carl Sagan
Uh you know what mankind is... dumb and violent
I mean we're talking about the idiots who crucified Christ, kid
Not to mention Dr. King and Malcolm X. What's life, kid?
Apparently not much to so-called advanced bipeds
But really I'm not here to write peace like Einstein did
I'm probably too... jaded to even think we could find it
But if we wanted to chill we might look to Carl Sagan
Watch the cosmos and drop the not-so-gnarly rayguns
Peep quasars, photons, black holes, white dwarfs
Leptons, pulsars, antimatter, tight quarks...
"Damn, I guess we're all floating on this cool rock
Bizarre vast void, and we're on a pale blue dot
Every human ever took sh**s on this random sphere
Thanks Earth, for orgasms, cannabu*ter, and dark beer
Rad, we all fap in the same fragile ecosystem (orgasm noise)"
Hah let's just look at the stars, man, peep the physics
On the
Pale blue dot
Earth show me the way cuz mankind kinda makes me scowl
Pale blue dot
I'm feeling a little beat like the dude who wrote Howl
Pale blue dot
Man, what should I do now? Existence is strange
Pale blue dot
Guess I'll chill like Earth and avoid these human games
To the warlords, rapists, torturers, dictators, yeah like Trujillo
("cherish the pale blue dot")
To the oppressive and corrupt who get rich while others suffer...
("cherish the pale blue dot")
We're apes hurtling through space at 1100 miles a minute
While building weaponry that could reduce us to spinach
I'd say we're the... almost nearly extinct
Cro magnons like whatever: we f**, we don't think
Now I don't mean to suggest I'm a blameless saint in this
Or to try to convert deists to agnostics or atheists
I just need to say the way mouse needs cursor
The way humans need murder
That's the way I need Earth bruh
So here goes my weird jam for the space era
They say you can rap about anything except for Terra
That means it's cool if i'm wailing "Turn down for what!"
But if I talk about existence I get turned down and hushed
Well if this does diminish my ethos
And we remain a**holes like Benito
Maybe some dude'll still grab my burrito
So I can just visualize
Countless forms of life on one floating pebble in the sky
Pale blue dot
Earth show me the way cuz mankind kinda makes me scowl
Pale blue dot
I just dream of peace like that one bearded dude who wrote Howl
