Lost in the World

lonely, and lost in the world
the spaceships are coming down
hiding, he waits for his orders
and blends with the merchants
uptown

shoot straight my son
see them for what they are
and when it's done
you'll see it's best by far
my son

we'll let things grow
and soon there'll be no sign
of their presence, no
memories will fade in time
my son

when the spaceships come down from the sky
who will stand by your side
when your factories and cities are gone
who will answer your cries
and laugh at your tired alibis
this time
the tyrants are falling in line

when the word comes down
plan ahead don't be around
the cleansing fire
will engulf this blackened ground

when the spaceships come down from the sky
who will stand by your side
when your factories and cities are gone
who will answer your cries...

I was coming back on the scene
wanted to get out of here
they came down in a flying machine
that's when I saw my ticket out of here
(hear the space music go...)

when the spaceships come down from the sky
who will stand by your side
when your factories and cities are gone
who will answer your cries
and laugh at your tired alibis
this time
the tyrants are falling in line
