"Uh... testing. One, two. Is this thing on? The sky’s gone chrome, mates. Giant plates in the air... E.T. and friends arrived it seems... Right... let’s get on with it then." The neighbors are screaming, throwing bricks at the sun The shopping mall's empty, except for a nun. Everyone’s looting for the sake of the thrill While the motherships hover, perfectly still. Professor’s in the basement, burning his books Physics was a lie, based on dirty looks. Gravity’s a joke, just a cosmic prank The universe is empty, and our brain is a blank. Got a fusion-cell battery inside my shoe To power a toaster that can see through you. Faster-than-light, but we’ve got nowhere to go Just watching the end in high-def slow-mo. The gods went on holiday, left no address The 'Crown of Creation' is a hot, soggy mess. We’re not the image of anything divine Just some accidental mold on a cosmic vine. The suits in the bunkers are fighting for crumbs Finger on the button, sucking their thumbs. They want the secrets, they want the big gun But the aliens are bored and they’ve already won. The smart blokes are clicking, trying to speak 'math' To a green-tinted cloud taking a solar bath. They sent us a signal, a binary sigh: "You're not worth the effort. Now, please, just die." Don't breathe the glitter, don't touch the slime It’ll rewrite your DNA in a matter of time. One alien sneeze and your ears turn to grapes We’re just bio-hazards in primates' shapes. Holding hands in the street? Nah, that’s a lie We’re tripping each other as we wave goodbye. One world, one planet? Don't make me laugh We're just splitting the bill on a blood-soaked path. Smile for the camera, you’re a reality show They’ve watched us for eons, from high and from low. They saw your browser history, your secrets, your pride There’s nowhere for a little biped to hide. Are we autonomous? Or just a glitch in the grid? A cosmic mistake that the universe hid? Humanity’s special? That’s a bit of a stretch We’re just the bits of grit the aliens fetch. Yeah... lovely view. Bit crowded in the sky today, innit? Just another Tuesday. "Wait, is that a giant fly-swatter?"
