Man On Mars Lyrics

Put a man on Mars today
It wasn't the first time
I've seen it all before
Took my hat off in the rain today
It wasn't the first time
I've seen it all before

Trust you
Trust you
Trust you to know everything about me
Trust you
Trust you
Trust you to know everything about me all along

And the coffee is medicine
It's hard to remember
I've seen it all before
And the picture of the factory floor
Like rats in a suitcase
I've seen it all before

Trust you
Trust you
Trust you to know everything about me
Trust you
Trust you
Trust you to know everything about me all along

Put a man on Mars today
It wasn't the future
I've seen it all before

Trust you trust you trust you to know everything about me
Trust you trust you trust you to know everything about me all along

All along
All along
All along

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Man On Mars lyrics by Kaiser Chiefs

I love how "Put a man on Mars today / It wasn't the first time / I've seen it all before" so concisely gets across the feeling of being so jaded that nothing can excite or interest you anymore.

Incidentally, "And the picture at the factory floor / Rats in a suitcase" should be "And the picture of the factory floor / Like rats in a suitcase" (I have the lyric booklet), but the rest of the lyrics shown here are correct.
