Lyrics:

We came across a planet,
Way deep in outer space,
Only half the surface habitable,
So suffered ALL the Race.

They easily could share,
The land where life was good,
But instead they waged massive wars,
Until no city finally stood.

They fought and burned the forests,
Fought and scorched the fields,
Ate up all their cuddly beasts,
And made more swords and shields,

They dug up nasty smelly stuff,
That made the planet reek,
Used it to get to jobs they hate,
Made everybody bleak.

The smell they made was rotten,
So too was the mess,
And no one there was happy,
And few had success.

They fought and burned the forests,
Fought and scorched the fields,
Ate up all their cuddly beasts,
And made more swords and shields,

But hey, it is our policy,
“Leave primitives alone!”
Besides, we don’t want them coming here,
And messing up all the rich folks homes!

They fought and burned the forests,
Fought and scorched the fields,
Ate up all their cuddly beasts,
And made more swords and shields,
