Description
Here's a song about us from the point of view of an alien. The picture is of Earth from deep space http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot
To any Radioheads out there, I'm totally aware that this is a 'Bodysnatchers' ripoff. I've been listening to In Rainbows on repeat for a couple of weeks now and it seems to be influencing a lot of my recent stuff.
This song is meant to come directly before another recent post of mine called 'Downgraded' http://macjams.com/song/51094 - so check them out one after the other if you get a chance.

Lyrics
WHERE I COME FROM
NO ONE'S HEARD OF
IT'S FAR AWAY
WHERE I BELONG
AND I DO NOT
DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE WAY YOU ARE
BECAUSE YOU CAN
WHEN YOU DO YOURSELVES IN
I'LL STILL BE STANDING TALL
AND IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
YOU MEAN NOTHING AT ALL
DESTROY YOURSELF
AND KILL THEM ALL
JUST CUT THEM DOWN
AND WATCH THEM FALL
THE BLACKENED GOLD
IS IN YOUR VEINS
SO BLEED YOURSELVES OUT
AND YOU'LL GET PAID
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
I'M GOING HOME
IT'S NOT FOR ME YEAH
I'D RATHER BE ALONE
WHEN YOU DO YOURSELVES IN
I'LL STILL BE STANDING TALL
AND IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
YOU MEAN NOTHING AT ALL
YOU'LL NEVER BE
ALL YOU COULD BE
YOU'LL NEVER SEE
WHAT I CAN SEE
HEY MAN, AMEN!
NO ONE'S HEARD OF
IT'S FAR AWAY
WHERE I BELONG
AND I DO NOT
DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE WAY YOU ARE
BECAUSE YOU CAN
WHEN YOU DO YOURSELVES IN
I'LL STILL BE STANDING TALL
AND IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
YOU MEAN NOTHING AT ALL
DESTROY YOURSELF
AND KILL THEM ALL
JUST CUT THEM DOWN
AND WATCH THEM FALL
THE BLACKENED GOLD
IS IN YOUR VEINS
SO BLEED YOURSELVES OUT
AND YOU'LL GET PAID
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
I'M GOING HOME
IT'S NOT FOR ME YEAH
I'D RATHER BE ALONE
WHEN YOU DO YOURSELVES IN
I'LL STILL BE STANDING TALL
AND IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
YOU MEAN NOTHING AT ALL
YOU'LL NEVER BE
ALL YOU COULD BE
YOU'LL NEVER SEE
WHAT I CAN SEE
HEY MAN, AMEN!

Dark, interesting choice of structure. Not a Radiohead fan so kind of in the dark there. Like what you have done with this though. Vocals are always great and the lead guitar is you. Like the ending,big change up. I will be looking for Downgraded. Thanks.
