Death Ray scatters thousands
Thousands flee in alarm
a mad scientist with
a sick invention
spreading fear and causing harm.
Death Ray pointed at your hometown
Death Ray zapping up your street
it’s a nightmare in the daytime
when the man with the death ray speaks.
Giant monsters frightening thousands
thousands frightened, look what’s up there?!
One is looming up like a mountain,
one is swooping down from the air.
What started as a science project
that might work out with a bit of luck
has suddenly gang much agley
as giant monsters now run amok.
Creepy aliens probing thousands
thousands probed in much distress
except a few who kind of liked it
and are hoping for a second test.
Do they come to war and conquer?
Do they come in peace to just observe?
Creepy aliens have got us wondering
every time their spaceships swerve.
Bureaucrats cowing millions
millions cowed without hope
Bureaucrats make themselves essential
for many millions just to cope
What was once a legal process
is now done merely by fiat
so that many millions will believe their existence
depends upon a bureaucrat .
