They Can't Take You Away

Beyond heaven
Gotta be something out there
The darkness let the light in
Devoid of life forms anywhere
One Two Oh Nine Two Two
Distress signal to outer space
Can’t fly as fast as light do
No ET can make it close to that pace
And if they could, why would they want to?
Check out this rock of banality
Advanced superior life forms
Can’t breathe in triviality
They can’t take you away from this
We might as well be on our own
Some might be incredulous
That we’re alone on this cesspool home
They can’t take you with them
You’re stuck with this boring shit
They can’t take you with them
Eternity on Earth’s all you get
Stuck in the same dimension:
Meatspace of carboniferous scrap
Wormholes or endless hypersleep
To see a load of homo sapiens crap
Everything we’d have to do
They’d have to do the same thing too
Might as well admit we’re alone
No one there to visit us at home
You’re head’s probably so full of science fiction, you think they can just teleport right in there with some kind of alien technology so advanced it might as well be magic.
But they’d have to achieve a significant fraction of light speed too.
And then navigate interstellar space for years, avoiding the perils of space dust, cosmic rays and the long-term effects of weightlessness – just like we would.
So forget about your rectal probes
Androids and brain scan electrodes
You can see’em on TV
‘Cause spacemen ain’t gonna set you free
And if they could, why would they want to?
