about

Blurb
ExtraTerrestrial is a protest song and a condemnation of war, initially written in response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. As the lyric developed it became clear that Putin couldn't be criticised without acknowledging the damaging consequences of Western interventionism in the Middle East, and this became the crux of the song. It is an attack on the British and American governments which have waged war on the Middle East for decades and the deceptive colonisation of capital which accompanies this warfare. This is mirrored in the track with jarring samples, a screeching guitar solo and Mirari's defiant verse. The crossover of punk rock and rap is, in itself, both anti-establishment and an act of resistance, and this is the energy of ExtraTerrestrial.

lyrics

You can't fight bodily function.
You can't shoot down disease.
An appetite for mass destruction
has got me down on my knees.

A call to arms for the nation.
You've got to fight for the right
to subjugation and imperial occupation.
West is best if you're white.

Before the heads start to roll.
It's ExtraTerrestrial.
The world is out of control.
It's ExtraTerrestrial.

Make heroes of a generation.
Let slip the dogs of war.
A martyr for this capitalist colonisation
is a child face down on the floor.

So sign me up for the army.
I'm just a number not a name.
All star, old school, American liberation.
Send the youths to the graves.

Before the heads start to roll.
It's ExtraTerrestrial.
The world is out of control.
It's ExtraTerrestrial.
And the man in the suit makes the call.
It's ExtraTerrestrial.
And the bombs start to fall.
It's ExtraTerrestrial.

Just think about life and think about struggle.
The government cold they want us to hate.
Think about war and think about famine
I want us to change but is it too late.
I got a lot on my mind today.
Money and power be causing us pain.
I'm about to act out of line today.
Just stay out my way. OK. OK.
Think about those with less on their plate.
They make a shower so they get to reign.
Think about those with less on their plate.
They make a shower so they get to reign.
I'm ExtraTerrestrial
I'm in a whole other element
ExtraTerrestrial
I'll put a hit on the president
I'm ExtraTerrestrial
I'm doing this for the hell of it.
ExtraTerrestrial
I'm about to lose my intelligence.

Before the heads start to roll (oh yeah they rolling).
And you're losing control.
And your eyes start to roll (oh yeah they rolling).
It's ExtraTerrestrial.
