lyrics

Middle America, Middle of the day
A man with no options tries to find a way
Sizeable mortgage and fair amount of debt
But he still has hope, he hasn’t given up yet

He grabs a butcher knife and a hand grenade
Fantasy football fees have got to get paid
He charges on down to the liquor store
And tells everyone to get down on the floor

“What the fuck are you gonna do now, bitch?
Your whole life’s about to turn to shit
What the fuck can anyone do about this
My whole life has led up to this!”

But the liquor store is a secret operation
All a giant cover for a drug investigation
SWAT team busts in, helicopters overhead
DEA, CIA, top level Feds

Building surrounded, megaphone blaring
Camera crews there, whole city staring
A thousand feet away, a sniper takes aim
The sniper is a clone of the man, one in the same

“What the fuck are you gonna do now, bitch?
Your whole life’s about to turn to shit
What the fuck can anyone do about this
My whole life has led up to this!”

Sniper waits for orders, situation is tense
And it’s all being watched by a higher intelligence
For years they’ve watched us mortals on earth
Stolen our placenta and our afterbirth

But now has come the time for it all to end
Alien abduction is the latest trend
Humans prepared for awkward alien sex
Parts two and three tell what happens next
