Fantastic Planet

Uh free world living we're free world living Who thought the water planet could be a slaughter planet They drew lines in the motherland it's a border planet The space program's a white man call to panic Science dammit how we align all the planets Oceans and borders or unity and drought Only one order and you and me are out wizard We the ill-fated you can doubt it but there's Many an empire you can read all about like The Ramas the Romans The Incas the Mayans Egyptians the Vikings Depicted as highest The best of a species is museum exhibits Old relics of folk tale fiction Listen young sapien your world is in stark danger Your eyes see neon but your elements aren't stable Your job your worth your wife your strife your life All wound up, encased in a glass chamber Oh somebody show me the archangel Holy father why you being so Darth Vader We so half hearted and half spades But arcane's the name of the card game Who thought the water planet could be slaughter planet Forged by magic martial law and order planet Made man got a plan view of the planet Slavic man strip the bamboo run the gambit Hunger-famine alongside luncheons and banquets Stomach heavy gulliver stuck in a sandpit The blind theory brother don't pick up that pamphlet Eyes weary make art don't watch what they canvass My old droog it's a flash flood for cash Bureau of buffoonery a village of emperors My city got that built in obsolescence Concrete cracks every time you fill in the census Tip my hat to the diplomat They know that the coffee belt be tailor made Zig zag when we rip the map Love from the planet of monkey suits and bathing apes Who thought the water planet could be slaughter planet Yankee shook up the world now it's a warmer planet Mind forged manacles and foul dreams Young seeds in a technicolor tangerine Our house in the middle of the street Surrounding town is a thousand smithereens How you can't taste the lightning and smell the thunder The icy infernos the scorching tundras It's a shootout for shale on the fjord And they say the world is yours Bon soir from the junkyard Yeah
