Barenaked Ladies - The Ballad of Gordon текст песни

There was darkness, there was light,

There was day and there was night,

There was wrong and there was right...

And then there was me.

You didnt even know me, but you treated me like dirt.

(and then there was me)

You didnt even know me, but you called me a jerk.

(and then there was me)

Im from a planet near a star

You wouldnt know (its very far).

There calling me the man from mars

And I think theyre insulting me.

They tried to take my special suit.

(insulting me)

(insulting me)

Put your hands up or Ill shoot! I dont have hands...

Across the galaxy I flew,

Heard a peaceful message sent by you.

Now I find youre judged by color and size.

I cant believe what you call my...

Ise the guy who sails the sky, but I think Id like to live

Here.

Id like to share your mountains, share your trees, and share

Your rivers.

Ive never seen so many people of so many colors.

Id like to think that someday maybe I could call you brothers.

(and then there was we)

Id like to learn about your pizza and your weather,

(and then there was we)

Then we could learn about how beings live together.

(and then there was we)

So if youre thinking about being a spaceman,

It dont matter if youre black or white

Or purple or blue or green or red

Or yellow with polka dots on your head

Or made of snow or made of wheat

Or looking like something thats kind of a treat.

I like your hat... (fade)
