Lyrics

Have you seen the saucers?
Have you seen the saucers?
Do you know the people out there
Who aren't happy with the way that we care
For the Earth Mother?
Have you seen the saucers?
Tranquility Base
There goes the neighborhood
American garbage dumped in space
And no room left for brotherhood
Have you seen our saucers?
See our lights in your western skies, California?
The rainbow skies
The government tells you another missile is flying
Have you any idea why they're lying to you
To your faces?
Did they tell you?
Have you seen our saucers?
Your mother needs you, now she's getting old
Her face was pretty, but you let her go
Have you seen our saucers?
Star children on the back road to salvation
Children of the forest and child of the Woodstock nation
You gotta care for the needs of your planet
Catch the dawn that once was there
First-born atomic generation
Open the door, don't you know that's what it's for?
Hey, come and join us on the other side of the sun
