Decades

Did you think that they'd take you

Once you had evolved?

That your first world problems

Would all be solved?

You were wrong

Strung along

Till reason was gone

And the will to live on

Escape reality

To rot in infamy

Did you have second thoughts once

The deed has been done?

Did the blinders come off, did

The goal seem far-flung?

Did you cry?

Stammer "why?"

Look to the sky

And see through the lie?

Transcend humanity

Brainwashed by Do and Ti

Just a dumb sop thinking Hale Bop

Will mean a trip to the heavens

And reward what you wrought

Lay the bodies on their beds

Wait your turn soon you'll be dead!

Drink your fill of phenobarbital

And sing with the others as you

Expire in the rubble

We're all high now we're all gonna fly

On the ship behind the comet as it passes by

Hey ET won't you please take me

I'm the best one on the planet, take my corpse and see

Doing God's work has gotta have its perks

And we'll fly off in a spaceship just like Captain Kirk
