I landed here on planet Earth, I came from planet Smars,

it's way beyond your galaxy, beyond your distant stars.



I had to run away from Smars, I finally had enough.

Prayer in schools and Godly rules, made being bad too tough.



For no one seemed to understand, I hated to obey.

They called it bad, but I was glad, the day I ran away.



I need a place where sex is safe and frogs can drink the beer.

Where truth is not so absolute, that's why I landed here.



So when I found a TV set and turned on CNN.

I knew that I had found a home, this whole world's filled with sin.



Kids are killing other kids, abortions legal too.

Talk show hosts are number one, I like their points of view.



They come into your living room, an honored special guest.

Then entertain you with some trash, that's publicly confessed.



So educate and motivate, but please don't ever pray.

For at the cross, there's just one Boss, that's why I ran away.

Joshua 24:15

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but {as for me and my house}, we will serve the LORD.
