Tired of holding out for God
We want an alien intervention
To contend with the problems
Which have come to our attention
Someone or thing to save us
In willing belief suspension
To free us of our demons
While we’re kept in detention
Which is only temporary
Till they sort out who goes where
Can’t have us running about
Half-cocked without a prayer
Maintain elective stasis
As our new masters prepare
For all the ways To Serve Man
So much madness to share
Need an intervention
We’ve gone off the rails
Salvation invention
When divinity bails
Unite us divided
Invite us provided
We’ll go along if our ethos prevails
Stay our stupid hands little aliens
Stop us now before we kill anew
Enlighten us the errors of our wayliens
Let your spacey goodness shine on through
Save us with a blast from your ray guns
If you need you can even give us two
Avoid hitting me with any stray ones
Self-sacrifice is always best when it’s from you
Need an intervention
We’ve gone off the rails
A pound of cure’s prevention
While divinity fails
Ignite us decided
Incite us misguided
Bring us along but avoid the details
We tried holding out for God
But He hasn’t intervened
Since they wrote the Bible or before
Two thousand years of fraud
We still haven’t been weaned
So we have our little hissy fits and war
Through history maraud
The only wisdom gleaned
Is just the stuff that we forgot before
Into the future plod
Through humanity careened
Each new voice of reason we ignore
Our brilliance we applaud
Systems like a gun machined
Computers can calculate the score
Narrow interests focus broad
With the ethics of a fiend
Not sure what we need beyond more
Need an intervention
We’ve gone off the rails
Life lease extension
From the sky where God hails
Indict us derided
Delight us resided
Simple solution, compound our travails.
