The Invaders - Ray Davies, John Jackson, Marc Perlman

They called us the Invaders

As though we came from another world

And a man from immigration

Shouted out, «Hey Punk, you a boy or a girl?»

«Hey tutti fruitti give us a kiss»

The custom man proclaimed

'Cause the world as he 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 he 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 poncing off the state

And as we walked through immigration

They heard me speak and shouted out, «You wait

Hey buddy, get back in the line"

His eyes were full of hate

'Cause the world as he 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 dance to a different tune

They didn’t like my attitude

Culture clash like chalk and cheese

Misunderstood in the land of the free

'Cause the world as he knew it turned upside down

And things would never be the same

The day the Invaders came

Yes, the world as he knew it turned upside down

And things would never be the same

The day the Invaders came
