Back to Earth Songtext
von Greg Graffin

He wakes with the glow of adventure and hope
The morning smells sweet and replete
With opportunity
He′d dress into another day
Feeling lucky to be alive
Though nobody follows him
He's sure the future′s bright

Bring him back
Someone's gonna have to bring him back to earth
He's getting out of hand
His alacrity for life is more than people stand
Oh
Bring him back to earth


Discipline and toil
Well, it made her blood boil
The finer things were impatient
Waiting discovery
Like a bird in spring
The sun made her sing
With seeming inattention
She was on to other things

Bring her back
Someone′s gonna have to bring her back to earth
She′s way too high
Her alacrity for life ain't gonna help her get by
Oh
Bring her back to earth

Who′s it gonna be?
I can assure you
It ain't gonna be me

Bring ′em back
Someone's gonna try and bring ′em back to land
And I'll be there
To catch 'em when they fall and send ′em up again
Oh
Bring ′em back to earth
Bring 'em back to earth
