Lyrics

Alien Nation

Boy, girl and in-between Cut from a laser beam We seek a new vibration (Alien nation) Forget our parents' name Synthesized to be the same Nothing will never change (Alien nation) Lonely but never alone Tethered to a fake friend phone Record this conversation (It's a simulation) Black Friday cyberattack Freeway fracking, sky is cracked Sing with the congregation (Alien nation) Fly down the inner state Self-care, self-hate One-sided conversation (This is information) We're goin' off the grid We're blowing off the lid We're way beyond salvation In the- (alien nation) Between the god of love (Alien nation) And the god of lust (Alien nation) In the crops they burn (Alien nation) A circle of trust (Alien nation) The flight's delayed (Alien nation) For the prophet's spoken (Alien nation) Put all your hopes and all your dreams in the machine And the machine is broken The machine is broken The machine is broken The machine is broken I return to all my enemies all the pain they would like to or could have 'cause me I return this evil to them with love, in the name of the alien nation Alien nation, alien nation, alien nation Alien nation, alien nation, alien nation Alien nation, alien nation, alien nation Alien nation, alien nation
