The Boy From Space - The Weekend (Alien Invasion) Lyrics

In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment
We often forget how much unites all the members of humanity
Perhaps we need some outside universal threat
To make us recognise this common bound
I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish
If we were facing an alien threat from outside

We've been broadcasting our presence into outer space
Intentionally or unintentionally for decades
Ever since the coming of radio and television

In the infinite scale of our galaxy
There has to be another intelligent form of existence
If extra terrestrials came to earth and tried to fight us
I'm pretty sure we would lose
There's a simple reason for that
Humanity is pretty dumb

The future's just a lie, the future's just a lie
It's the weekend, weekend
Baby we can fly

The future's just a lie, the future's just a lie
It's the weekend, weekend
Baby we can fly

I don't care what you think, I don't care what you think
It's the weekend, weekend
I'll have all the drink

Of course the most logical areas to strike
Would be where the Government leaders congregate
And also where the military congregate
For their ability to control any situation that might effect the country
Consequently, it would be Moscow
It would be Paris
It would be London

Slowly we will consume every particle of energy
Every last cell of living matter
Earth will be sucked dry
All things must die
Human greed merely hastens the process
Beacause of this greed axonite will spread across the whole planet
And then the nutrition cycle will begin

This is the song that I'm going to sing
This is the song that I'm going to sing
The future's just a lie, the future's just a lie
It's the weekend, weekend
Baby we can fly

The future's just a lie, the future's just a lie
It's the weekend, weekend
Baby we can fly

I don't care what you think, I don't care what you think
It's the weekend, weekend
I'll have all the drink

They strike with more powerful records that we've ever seen
From energy beams to biological warfare
It's not going to be pretty, however, after the dust settles
We're going to be able to understand their technology
We're going to understand where their power comes from
We're going to understand their command structure
How information flows within that empire
And then we'll begin to identify weak points
Weak points that will allow us to mount a counter attack

The future's just a lie, the future's just a lie
It's the weekend, weekend
Baby we can fly

The future's just a lie, the future's just a lie
It's the weekend, weekend
Baby we can fly

I don't care what you think, I don't care what you think
It's the weekend, weekend
I'll have all the drink

If we faced an alien invasion, an alien attack
I think it would come across a number of different fronts
Firstly I think they would probably blind us by destroying our satellites
Then I think they might try to take down the grid

Empty buses rolling over me
It's the weekend, weekend
It's just a lie
Empty seats a can rolls endlessly
It's the weekend, weekend
It's just a lie
To fight for survival against an alien invasion
Empty trains rolling across the field
It's the weekend, weekend
It's just a lie
Empty halls where music once played loud
It's the weekend, weekend
It's just a lie

If we're attacked by alien advanced intelligence
I don't think we have any hope of surviving
Motion picture images of a brave and gallant resistance force
Clutching a rifle, fighting off the alien
I don't think that's going to happen

It's just a lie
