A great song from Perry Farrell's band Porno for Pyros, from their self-titled 1993 album. It suggests that maybe our purpose in the universe, as humans, is, well... less than the pinnacle of civilization. More evidence that Perry Farrell did and continues to do lots of drugs. Simpsons fans may be reminded of Kodos and Kang, but remember: they're from Rigel IV, not Mars. This song is specific: Martians.

Lyrics:

Children are innocent; teenagers, fucked up in the head.
Adults are even more fucked up, and elderlies are like children.
Will there be another race to
come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
better than we've done.
We'll make great pets!

CHORUS:
We'll make great pets! x8

My friend says we're like
the dinosaurs: unreal, we are
doing ourselves in
much faster than they ever did.

CHORUS

Sweet Chloe

Chloe the Cat

Is actually quite fat

But she can fly in the air like a weightless blimp

And amble on window ledges like a tightrope walker 

Her feeding frenzies are amusing treats

As she flings kitty crumbs discretely at my feet

And yacks up hair balls the size of tootsie rolls

On my freshly changed bed

What a cat--Did I mention she was fat?

She arches her back like a Martha Graham product

Then at times just arches it to vomit

But jeez, I just love this cat

With her golden eyes and pinky nose

Oh Chloe. She is not a friend of other cats

And quite often gets into little kitty spats

Chastising potential lovers for gazing lovingly in her eyes,

Or brushing up against her to get a whiff of her felineness.

She has spine

I will always love her black and whiteness

Like living with the yin and yang, her most karmic highness

A Buddhist monk lounging on my chair

Gazing at me with her Zen heart 

But most of all I love her purring

A running engine ready and whirring

With her white whiskers delicately trembling

And her eyes at half-mast ready to pass out.

A sun-worshipper at heart

She is a bathing beauty reincarnated with a buxom butt

And chubby chin

What a sin 

But she doesn't give a damn

And that's why I love Chloe.
