I bring you a warning most fearsome and fell
Concerning a plague that has come straight from hell
If you get a headache, a cough or a sneeze
It could be a sign of Mad Planet Disease.

CHORUS
Mad Planet Disease, Mad Planet Disease,
The bane of all life across five galaxies.
Too many young worlds have been brought to their knees
By a terminal case of Mad Planet Disease.

When people who live in a rich verdant land
Where all they could ask for is ready to hand
Start building and mining and chopping down trees
It's clearly a case of Mad Planet Disease.
When the poor and the helpless, the sick and the old
Are abandoned to perish of hunger and cold
While those who could save them recline at their ease
You'll see the effects of Mad Planet Disease.
CHORUS

When people are killed for a word and no more
And dreams and abstractions are pretexts for war
When gunfire and screaming are borne on the breeze
The sound that you hear is Mad Planet Disease.
The planet is teeming with beasts bred for meat
But now we've decided they're not fit to eat
Their dead rotting bodies will foul all the seas
A typical case of Mad Planet Disease.
CHORUS

No species is safe from this terrible scourge
There's no antivirus its evils can purge
It runs through the system like flame through a wood
And makes every planet a graveyard for good.
One hope may remain for a critical case
Take most of your people and send them to space
Once industry's gone and the pressure released
You'll find that your planet's no longer diseased.
CHORUS
Mad Planet Disease, Mad Planet Disease,
The bane of all life across five galaxies.
If we would survive then our chance we must seize
To rid this fair world of Mad Planet Disease!
