"Moving to Mars" as written by Christopher Anthony John Martin, Guy Rupert Berryman, Jonathan Mark Buckland, William Champion and Brian Eno....
Somewhere up above the stars
The wreckage of a universe floats past
Somewhere up above my heart
A tiny little seed is sown
A government is overthrown
Who knows when we'll be coming home at last
And I heard it on the radio
That one day we'll be living in the stars
And I heard it on a tv show
That somewhere up above
And in my heart
They'll be tearing us apart
Maybe moving us to mars
We won't see the earth again
In these seconds just remain unchanged
Eight to nine, nine to ten
We are meeting for the first time
We might never meet again you and me
We are meeting for the first time
Can't you see
Seven, six, five, four, three
We are meeting for the first time
Singing this space symphony
They'll be tearing us apart moving us to mars
Past the satellites and stars
They'll be moving us to mars
The wreckage of a universe floats past
Somewhere up above my heart
A tiny little seed is sown
A government is overthrown
Who knows when we'll be coming home at last
And I heard it on the radio
That one day we'll be living in the stars
And I heard it on a tv show
That somewhere up above
And in my heart
They'll be tearing us apart
Maybe moving us to mars
We won't see the earth again
In these seconds just remain unchanged
Eight to nine, nine to ten
We are meeting for the first time
We might never meet again you and me
We are meeting for the first time
Can't you see
Seven, six, five, four, three
We are meeting for the first time
Singing this space symphony
They'll be tearing us apart moving us to mars
Past the satellites and stars
They'll be moving us to mars

I found this on the coldplaying.com forums, and looked up the documentary on imdb.com "Moving to Mars", which was directed by Mat Whitecross, director of a handful of Coldplay's music videos including the recent Christmas Lights. Here's the description of the film:
Moving to Mars charts the epic journey made by two Burmese families from a vast refugee camp on the Thai/Burma border to their new homes in the UK. At times hilarious, at times emotional, their travels provide a fascinating and unique insight not only into the effects of migration, but also into one of the most important current political crises - Burma.
Given lyrics like
a tiny little seed is sown,
a government is overthrown,
who knows when we'll be coming home at last
...we might never meet again you and me...
they'll be tearing us apart moving us to mars,
past the satellites and stars
they're moving us to mars
Kind of have to wonder if they're related at all...
It expresses their feelings on how technology will soon tear us apart by estranging us all from the Earth.
