I went to see a fortune teller
somewhere in Brazil
I walked into her hut
It sat on a barren hill
I said, "What happened to the trees
where did the rain forest go?"
She said, "Did you come all this way
to hear what you already know?"
I said, "I guess you're right
we ignored the writing on the wall"
Well she laughed until she cried
"Such is life," she sighed
"on God's big blue ball"
From there I headed north
up to the North Pole
But by the time I got there
there was no more ice or snow
I turned and saw St. Nicholas
out there in the drink
He was swimming for his life
trying not to sink
I said, "Hey Santa Claus
what caused this sudden thaw?"
Well he tried to raise his head
then went belly up and dead
on God's big blue ball
Well Terra Firma's dying
she's going up in smoke
Mother Earth is crying
and we act like it's a joke
Well you don't need to be a prophet
to see what's coming soon
All you gotta do
is take a look at the moon
Well Jesus finally returned
the Second Coming came
But by the time He got here
there was no one left to save
He walked along in wonder
through the ashes of the past
He voice spoke like thunder
"They've killed themselves at last!
Oh the greed and lies and arrogance
all came before the fall
They had the power in themselves
to build a heaven or a hell
on God's big blue ball"
In the not too distant future
from a planet far away
a spaceship full of aliens
came to investigate
They studied planet Earth
to determine how she died
Finally they concluded
she committed suicide
Well they laid a wreath in silence
They were saddened and appalled
And before they headed home
they placed a big tombstone
on God's big blue ball
