One Planet At A Time

I DON'T THINK OF SPACE AS MT. EVEREST.
I DON'T THINK OF SPACE AS THE WILD WEST.
I DON'T THINK OF SPACE A LOT.
ME, I WORK WITH WHAT I'VE GOT.
THIS BEAUTIFUL, MESSED-UP WORLD IS OURS.
SO WHY DO THEY SPEND MY TAXES ON MARS?

ONE PLANET AT A TIME!
CAN’T WE FIX THINGS UP
ONE PLANET AT A TIME?
CAN’T WE MIX THINGS UP
ONE PLANET AT A TIME?
LET’S START SMALL.
LET'S HANDLE THIS ONE
BEFORE WE TRY TO RUN ‘EM ALL.

NO JUNGLE, NO EAGLE, NO GRAZING DEER.
MARS ISN'T FAMOUS FOR ATMOSPHERE.
WOULD WE CHOKE OR DIE OF THIRST
IF SOMEONE ELSE GOT THERE FIRST?
HEY, I COULD BREATHE EASY, FOR WHAT THAT’S WORTH…
ASSUMING IT'S SAFE TO BREATHE HERE ON EARTH

ONE PLANET AT A TIME!
CAN’T WE USE THINGS UP
ONE PLANET AT A TIME?
CAN’T WE SCREW THINGS UP
ONE PLANET AT A TIME?
LET’S START SMALL.
LET’S CLEAN UP THIS ONE
BEFORE WE TRY TO RUN ‘EM ALL.

(BRIDGE)
THE WORLD IS TURNING (TURNING)
BUT WE DON’T FEEL IT.
THE WORLD IS TURNING (TURNING)
BUT WE DON’T FEEL IT.
SOME HAVE A LOT BUT MOST HAVE NOT.
ONE WORLD, WE LIVE IN ONE WORLD.

ONE PLANET AT A TIME.
CAN’T WE ALL LIVE ON
ONE PLANET AT A TIME?
CAN’T WE ALL LIVE ON
ONE PLANET AT A TIME?
LET’S START SMALL.
HOW ABOUT PEACE ON EARTH,
BEFORE WE TRY TO RUN ‘EM ALL?
