about

That time I helped save some aliens and then got hung by the CIA because they wanted to do gross experiments on them.

lyrics

Now here’s the story of an Old man who
tried to save this petty land
and three others
who came and gave a hand

Their names don’t mean a thing
But what they did changed
The course of the Earth
Forevermore for the better

Some aliens landed in the
Ocean and they were drowning
And the old man came and gave a hand
And they thanked him in the sand

He and me and two others
Smuggled them across the land
But we were stopped by two men
Who worked for the CIA

We snuck the aliens away
Before the men could have their way
Cause we let them have their way
With us, there was no other way.

The old man walked up to me, and said
“I turned us in. I was the right thing to do.”
My girlfriend said “I did things that my
Friends back home would never believe.”
[extra 2]
We all smiled and we cried
As we said our final goodbyes.
And here I am, alone again
Awaiting my final judgement, so
[extra 4]
Hey mr. hangman,
can you be there alone?
There’s no need to hear the voices
Of the ones who think they’re grown

As we stay in the country
And we ride through the wind,
I can hear the ugly voices
Of the men who’ll never know

Of the fun and the sorrow
That has led us here today
In this room all together,
-Having one last big hoorah

I have traveled far and wide
Gone on adventures with my friends
And now here I stand alone
On this old basketball court

As the sirens wail behind us
And the future cries ahead
I will never forget you
Even long after you’re dead

Oooooo (x2) (brass instruments play us out in recording)
