lyrics

I seen them floating lights, this land I must defend
They land their ships at night, right 'round the river bend
And all the cows are gone, been sucked up in those beams
Stayed awake 'til dawn, don't want them in my dreams
And I don't expect the government to help me out

I look out from the hill, see circles in the corn
I'd say I had my fill, a fighter I was born
The sky is full of fear, if fear is what you taught
I'm double-fisting beer. I'm gonna take a shot.

Take me to your leader, the little grey man said
I didn't wait much longer, I shot the grey man dead
Cause I don't trust the police, and I don't trust the feds
And I don't trust you either, my temper's got me red
And I don't expect the government to help me out

They want to fight a war, god damn I'll give them hell
Chewin' roasted peanuts and firin' of shells
Shoot em all up aliens is what I do the best
Cant have em extra terrestrials bein' pests

I seen them floating lights, this land I must defend
They land their ships at night, right 'round the river bend
And all the cows are gone, been sucked up in those beams
Stayed awake 'til dawn, don't want them in my dreams
