G            G      D
Wake up you sleepy head
Esus4                     Em
Put on some clothes shake off your bed
 G                      D
Put another log on the fire for me
A                             E
I've made some breakfast and coffee
 G                   D
Look out my window, what do I see
 B                       Em             G7     C 
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
          A7              D7
All the nightmares came today
                                G
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned what we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Chorus:
G        D         Em7
Oh you pretty things
            G7                      C                 G
Don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
G       D          Em7
Oh you pretty things
           G7                       C                 G
Don't you know you're driving your mamas and papas insane?
        A7
Let me make it plain
D7                      C7          G
Gotta make way for the homo superior

Look out at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself, they belong to you
They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a bitch, we've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay
