No Photographs of Earth

A friend of mine once told me
To do a search online
Search for photos of earth he said
Coz this will blow your mind
So I opened up the Google
And looked for photos of earth
A lot of photos came up
He said click on the first

He said that's the famous blue marble
That everybody's seen
We've seen this photo a thousand times
Upon our TV screen
But let me tell you something
About that famous shot
It's not a photo at all man
It was made in Photoshop

There ain't no photographs of earth
Somebody tell why
They're all just photoshopped cartoons
They're all just cgi
No photographic proof
Of a globe, no none at all
Why the hell cant no one
Take a photo of this ball

Well man he was right
Coz that did blow my mind
Coz I thought the blue marble
Was a photo all this time
Don't you think that's strange
He said suspiciously
The fact it ain't a photo
Seems pretty weird to me

I mean the most important photo
That man could ever take
This huge iconic image
Turns out to be a fake
I couldn't quite believe it
I was pretty shocked
I needed further proof
That this photo's photoshopped

He said look up Robert Simmon
He made that cartoon ball
He's the guy you should research
He works for NASA and all
He openly admits
That it's all just artistry
He said and I quote "It is photoshopped
But It has to be"

There ain't no photographs of earth
Somebody tell why
They're all just photoshopped cartoons
They're all just cgi
No photographic proof
Of a globe, no none at all
Why the hell cant no one
Take a photo of this ball

Yep every photo of the earth
Is artist trickery
All the photos on Google man
Are as fake as fake can be
Download all the photos
And put em side by side
Compare all the continents
They're each a different size

Compare all the colours
Each globe a different shade
If all of these were photos man
They should surely look same
Where's the continuity Man
Theres none, no none at all
All that NASA gives us
Is a bunch of cartoon balls

There ain't no photographs of earth
Somebody tell why
They're all just photoshopped cartoons
They're all just cgi
No photographic proof
Of a globe, no none at all
Why the hell cant no one
Take a photo of this ball

Now we're supposed to have this telescope
That's flying past the stars
Taking beautiful photos
Of Jupiter and Mars
Well I've got a small suggestion NASA
Here's something you could do
Point that thing at planet earth
And take a shot or two!

Because there surely should be thousands
Of photos of where we live
But Hubble ain't taken one
That's suspicious don't you think
We got all these fancy pictures
Of spinning galaxies
But not one single photo
Of the earth for us to see

There ain't no photographs of earth
Somebody tell why
They're all just photoshopped cartoons
They're all just cgi
No photographic proof
Of a globe, no none at all
Why the hell cant no one
Take a photo of this ball
