Alien Blues
by 
Bob Margolin 
recording of 1997 
from 
Up & In (Alligator 4851) 
Bob to mother ship I'm reporting to you 
Beam me back up for a rendezvous 
It's a shame the way the earth folks fuss and fight 
Playin' the blues about all that you write 
Breaks both my hearts, hurts my ears too 
I may be green but I'm sure not blue 
I've been ridin' through the stars since time began 
I never met a creature who acted like man 
The earth is so full of natural beauty 
But all they want to do is kick each other's booty 
White, black, brown, red, and yellow too 
I may be green but they make me blue 
Hey it can hurt breedin' mistrust 
I wish they knew how they looked to us 
Solve their problem with a big death ray 
The blues tell me they might find they way 
Give 'em a chance and see how they do 
I may be green but I love those blues
