The Aliens Aren't Coming

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

I’ve been lookin’ at the skies
It seems they’re almost everywhere
Spaceships of all shapes and kinds
And people all in fear

They came in ‘47 when they saw all of the nukes
Wanted us to stop it so we met a bunch of gooks
They said that we were likely to blow up the whole damn place
That this would surely be the end of the whole human race

Then they made a deal with Ike the year was 1954
People for technology was what they bargained for
So we started building spaceships
They took people for a ride
Probing all around to see what makes us tick inside

If you think aliens are coming
Well you have no need to fear
The aliens aren’t coming
Because they’re already here

They say they’re from our future
Well however could that be?
An alien on Tiktok explained it quite remarkably
When asked about his birthplace said he was born right here on Earth
Went on to say exactly how this was his place of birth

He said a crazy president started an atomic war
Our adversary came along gave us a good what for
Dropped nukes across the country and the prophecy came true
The end result was very few of folks like me and you

The aliens among us started living underground
Until one day to their dismay they once again had found
The survivors in the top bunk dropping bombs upon their head
They knew if they did nothing they would surely wind up dead

The aliens among us started living underground
Until one day to their dismay they once again had found 
The survivors in the top bunk dropping bombs upon their head
They knew if they did nothing they would surely wind up dead
 
Then suddenly the skies were filled with every kind of disc
We did not know if friend or foe or how to treat the risk 
They were coming from the oceans while we assumed from outer space
And now its clear they were right here and living in our face
 
Some say that the pandemic is just a well planned alien scheme
Well I don’t know if that is so it seems a bit extreme
But if its true I’m telling you that they can have the place
I’m getting myself out of Dodge and headin’ into space
 
Jack tried to blow the whistle back in 1963
To tell us we are not alone but some did not agree 
Just ten days before Dallas he ticked off the CIA 
Now there’s aliens among us and that’s where they’re gonna stay 
 
If you’re seeing shiny objects dancing high up in the sky
And the drugs you take have had their day you’ve come down from your high
There’s strange noises at your door you’re sure its not the pizza guy
It’s just probably some aliens that planned on stopping by 
 
If your havin’ a conniption 
Now that you finally know the score
Keep your head down stay inside 
Make sure to lock the door
The good news is they’re not all bad and most are very small
So if they come to visit they won’t take much room at all
 
If you think aliens are coming 
Well you have no need to fear 
The aliens aren’t coming 
Because they’re already here
