When they came, we were ready  With atom bombs pointed towards the sky  Panic swept across the nations  You could see the terror in their eyes    Can't you see? The aliens are invading  It's gonna be them or me  I'm making sure it won't be me  I gotta retain my right to be free    So the war raged on  We didn't know what was going on  And the streets ran bloody red  If we'd only been aware  They'd come to see if we could spare  Just a slice of butter and some bread    They didn't come to steal our children  You've had it wrong from the start  They didn't come to destroy us  They came asking for our help  But it's too late now  We were too narrow-minded  Now we're forever binded by  This treachery we've done    Who's to blame?
