Strange New World: You are an alien visiting the Earth. Write about what you found.

lyrics

There’s varied hair
And awful clothes
They come in shades and sizes
And accents - so many more of those
It makes me sad to see them fret and scare
For features barely there

Chorus:
Humans seem the same to me
A little brave a little strong a little free
No different from each other
No chasm to uncover
Why is it so hard for them to see
Humans are the same, I find
When anybody spends a moment in their mind
Outside themselves there’s little left to blame
Humans are the same

Symmetric limbs
One eye per side
With very strong opinions
They can’t help but confide
Some tribal thoughts
They think are smart
Just feelings from the heart

[chorus]

So strange to think they all believe in progress
They think it's getting better every day
Deception at the core keeps getting in the way

[chorus]
