lyrics

Our place on earth
Or the town you live in
It never really was a perfect match

And now we’re here
I really can’t explain
Why couldn’t we just leave it undisturbed

This land mass does not feel the same
Time to look for greener pastures
Cause man and beasts are going insane
Time to book it, greener pastures

Just book it!

Book it! Book it! (Repeat)

The Moon or Mars, Andromeda or Venus
Kepler 22 might be the one (is that the one?)

All I need
Is to turn the dial down
And live in peace with Carbon Dioxide

And should I take a boat or a plane
Time to look for greener pastures
A space craft or a passenger train
Time to look for greener pastures

Book it! Book it! (Repeat)
