'' Now We're Scared To Go Back ''


When we arrived on the Moon,

It soon became clear,

There was another commune,

Who asked, why are you here.

 

We said we were exploring,

The realms of space,

It’s trouble you’re storing,

 Said the alien race.

 

We said our aim is to go,

Where no one has been,

They replied don’t you know,

What you have just seen.

 

We’ve been here for years,

Long before you,

So start up your gears,

It’s your time to go.

 

You are primitive creatures,

Who we have observed,

With such violent features,

You will not be preserved.

 

You destroy all that’s good,

Then look elsewhere,

We don’t mean to be rude,

But for you we don’t care.

 

After five more landings,

The aliens said, enough,

No more misunderstandings,

Or we’ll be forced to be rough.

 

If you try to return,

The Earth we’ll attack,

All life we will burn,

 

‘’ Now We’re Scared To Go Back ‘’
