“Politics is the entertainment arm of industry.”

LYRICS
\nBeam me down, Scotty<\/p>\n

Beam me down
\nAll our sensors have found
\nThere’s nothing around<\/p>\n

Scottie<\/p>\n

Beam me down<\/p>\n

On the ground
\nWhat I fear
\nWas found…
\nNo intelligent life around<\/p>\n

I mean know
\nOf the human species
\nNo, no know, no know<\/p>\n

I said, “Take me to your leader.”
\nThey said, “We have none in which we can trust.”
\nThen, we agreed it’s a must
\nIn a leader, you must trust<\/p>\n

At the very least, that’s a must
\nA leader you can trust
\nAnd, we all agreed,
\nWe’ve had too much greed<\/p>\n

We sat down
\nFor a little picnic
\nSo, we can think quick
\nWhere’s Frank Zappa when ya need ’em<\/p>\n

I suppose you’re right
\nWho would listen to him
\ncause he already ready said it once
\nKnow need to say it twice
\nAre we men or mice?<\/p>\n

I had to think twice<\/p>\n

(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)<\/p>\n
