Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

This Island Earth

They say there may well be a million other planets

Just like this island Earth

And that the day will come when we can travel there and

Stage some kind of rebirth

Until you realize they’re so far away, so far away, light years away

There is no other place in this universe like this island Earth

We fantasize about despoiling other worlds

Like this island Earth

Some believe that aliens are testing us

Like they had eyes on this island Earth

We get amusement from crop circles

Or when a cow gets inverted

We want to think that we’re not alone, we’re not alone

All on our own

There are no aliens looking to take over this island Earth

We are the only ones to blame for what becomes of this island Earth

Because the garden world where we used to thrive

Will be a place where nothing living survives

And we finally realize we must strive to save this island Earth

There is no other place in this universe like this island Earth

We have all the water in the galaxy, for what that is worth

We behave like we’re not of this world

We turn the garden of eden to hell

Where is the love

For this island Earth?

For this island Earth?
