Aliens Came Today ( Burgess)

Glowing lights up in the sky
descending through the stratosphere
shining saucers everywhere
they have come from there to here
Aliens came today
spaceships at the White House gates
Aliens came today
don't try to run cause it's too late

They landed here for all to see
but I wonder, to what end?
superior minds, technology
to their will we must bend
Aliens came today
spaceships at the White House gates
Aliens came today
don't try to run cause it's too late

Every nation has the news
they are shown a brand new way
mankind now must make a choice
'cause aliens came today
Aliens came today
spaceships at the White House gates
Aliens came today
don't try to run cause it's too late




We are the Abduction Committee

We know who you are
We know where you live
We know who among you
has most to give
Your worth is known
your value we rate
your life is required
to feed the state
We are the Abduction Committee
deciding which is what we do
We are the Abduction Committee
and now we're coming for you

What's yours is ours
Independence an illusion
We call the shots
Let there be no confusion
Your leaders promise
In truth they lie
We decide, and we alone
who will live and who will die
We are the Abduction Committee
deciding which is what we do
We are the Abduction Committee
and now we're coming for you


Blues for Nero ( Burgess)

Arrogance, greed, self-consideration
will bring down a mighty nation
"Don't tell me I have no right
My freedom dictates all I see
I go where and when I please"
till none are left to mount a fight
Nero fiddled and watched Rome burn
lessons that were not learned
at least from what I can discern

armies of cells attack with zeal
too small to see, they can't be real
all the leaders howl and rave
though the wise, good counsel give
few will listen, few will live
till none are left to save
Nero fiddled and watched Rome burn
lessons that were not learned
at least from what I can discern

bodies piled high on ice
to the learned should suffice
to warn of death's demands
the rich aghast, they will assure us
"The cure is worse than raging virus"
till none are left to stand
time is short, prepare a wake
ignorance will take and take
till none are left to stand
Nero fiddled and watched Rome burn
lessons that were not learned
at least from what I can discern


UNSEEN (Burgess)

Silently the enemy comes
down our streets, into our homes
marching on relentlessly
the enemy comes unseen.
Where will we run?
Where will we hide?
Who will come to our side?

The guard is asleep, alarms will not sound
no one to lead can be found
while darkness spreads around and between
the enemy comes unseen.
Where will we run?
Where will we hide?
Who will come to our side?

Some still deny he's even here.
Ignore him and he will disappear.
All is well for you and me
yet the enemy comes unseen.
Where will we run?
Where will we hide?
Who will come to our side?
