Aliens Run Hollywood

We found this planet
With lots of "Humans"
They're really stupid
They destroy everything
They kill each other
Over this "Money"
Or something they call "God"
It's pretty pitiful
We dangle carrots
And shiny rings of brass
Over their pointed
Little monkey-heads
They fight and scrape
To reach the mountain top
And when they get there
We knock 'em all down again

We corralled all the pretty ones together and then
Put 'em in a TV show and sold it back to them
As it spills from the bowl, they lick it up from the floor
When we thought they had enough, they ordered 13 more
In this lame syndication, in the middle of sweeps,
We will implant tiny sensors while your little world sleeps
That will make you more deadly to each other just so
You will kill each other and become a part of the show

Back on the day the earth stood still
We made you take that bitter pill
that makes you act the way you do - and you do
We got picked up for another season

Re-runs & re-hash,
Laugh tracks & pratfalls
Big tits & ass
Sequels, ad nauseam
Criminal creeps
Preach from the podiums
Their tongues are forked
Their lies are bleeding through
Big stars with millions
Peons in poverty
Gas-burning tanks
Mummified soccer-moms
They fuck and breed
Consume like locusts
When the mothership comes down we'll burn it down to the ground

We corralled all the pretty ones together and then
Put 'em in a TV show and sold it back to them
As it spills from the bowl, they lick it up from the floor
When we thought they had enough, they ordered 13 more
And the best part of this
Is that when we are all through
We will turn your planet back into a great big zoo
And someday when the others come to claim it their own
Their piss will make a mud out of the dust of your bones
