Lyrics

They called us The Invaders So we came from another world And the man from immigration Shouted out "Hey punk, you a boy or a girl?" "Hey tutti-frutti give us a kiss" The custom man proclaimed 'Cause the world as you knew it Turned upside down, and things would never Be the same The day The Invaders came They called us The Invaders Like creatures from the black lagoon Said that we were dangerous Like space invaders from the moon We just came to see the world And entertain America We just came to get a break Not to turn into enemies of the state 'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down And things would never be the same The day The Invaders came They called us illegal aliens As though we were punks (?) And as we walked through immigration They heard me speak and shouted out "You wait!" "Hey you buddy, get back in the line" His eyes were full of hate 'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down And things would never be the same The day The Invaders came They called us The Invaders Like barbarians full of hate Said that we were dangerous Like warriors sent to pillage and rape We all danced to a different tune But they didn't like my attitude Culture clash like chalk and cheese Misunderstood in the land of the free 'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down And things would never be the same 'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down And things would never be the same The day The Invaders the came
