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
