Alien:
Listen to me Billy…every thought that I think.
The millennium is crucial cause your home worlds on the brink.
TV remote control has got your people quite enslaved
So Billy, gonna show you some high speed history.
We came here to wipe out the dinosaurs.
It was only done for you and yours.
Called gods by some, but you must realize,
Our lives work is just to civilize.
Fifty million years ago we started tribes.
We made this Earth so you could always survive.
Every thousand years or so another is chosen
To even up the score and put the dark to the light.
We’re the Civilizers. I’m a Civilizer.
Every millennium a messianic messenger
Must go back to your world and put them on the track again.
Maybe one will succeed and utopia achieved.
Do this one thing for us then your search come to an end.
Say: avoid the telepaths on live TV,
Or it’s with their vision that you will see.
They’ve seized control of your collective mind.
As our ex-citizens this is no surprise.
They all but run your government.
They’re slowly wrecking your environment.
Your people pay taxes for protection,
But it’s our outcasts in your elections.
We’re the Civilizers. I’m a Civilizer.
To review: we terraformed the land for you to someday rule.
The dinosaurs are dead so you would always have fuel.
Your medical treatments were supposed to be free.
As I understand, care goes to one out of three.
There was supposed to be no use for guns at all.
Everyone should have credit at the shopping mall.
Billy:
Now wait! I know the Earth is really screwed up,
And they just don’t want to fix it till it’s all used up.
Why should I let some telepathic space purveyor,
Dub me Jesus or a Hitler? Sayonara, see you later.
Alien:
If you refuse, you know we could hasten the end.
We could redirect a comet with your planet’s name on it.
It’s easy to start over again.
Take back this information and we will always be friends.
We’re the Civilizers. Just time doppelgangers. I’m the Civilizer.
Take back this information,’ Live in peace and harmony.’
