“Politics is the entertainment arm of industry.”
— Frank Zappa
LYRICS
Beam me down, Scotty
Beam me down
All our sensors have found
There’s nothing around
Scottie
Beam me down
On the ground
What I fear
Was found…
No intelligent life around
I mean know
Of the human species
No, no know, no know
I said, “Take me to your leader.”
They said, “We have none in which we can trust.”
Then, we agreed it’s a must
In a leader, you must trust
At the very least, that’s a must
A leader you can trust
And, we all agreed,
We’ve had too much greed
We sat down
For a little picnic
So, we can think quick
Where’s Frank Zappa when ya need ’em
I suppose you’re right
Who would listen to him
cause he already ready said it once
Know need to say it twice
Are we men or mice?
I had to think twice
(A chorus of how the other animals of Earth try to get the *alien’s* attention e.g. how the baboon could tell ya they’re buffoon)
