Enter zeros after you click "Buy Digital Track" if you want this song for free. It's OK with me. Really it is.
Out of the millions of species who have been guests on Earth, we're the rudest and most inconsiderate. I feel badly, so I wrote a song about it...

lyrics
---- Curious Guest Lyrics ---
Things were much nicer when you were younger.
(it seems like yesterday you first appeared).
If you can't get along then your days are numbered,
and you know that the choice is all yours.
I'll still be here a billion more years. ;-)
I always thought you could have done better;
you were much smarter than all of the rest!
And now you measure the ice and the weather
(but you don't seem to change what you do).
You always were a curious guest.
Things were much nicer when you were younger.
(it seems like yesterday you first appeared).
If you can't get along then your days are numbered,
and you know that the choice is all yours.
I'll still be here a billion more years. ;-)
I always thought you could have done better;
you were much smarter than all of the rest!
And now you measure the ice and the weather
(but you don't seem to change what you do).
You always were a curious guest.
