lyrics

It was on the eve of World War Three
The first time you could clearly see
A shadow on the surface of the Moon

With it, the Moon’s face then took
On a quite beatific look
Sending everyone beside themselves with rage

Who’d be so rude as to alight
On our beloved satellite?
We all cried in horror at the sky

Accusations shot around the globe
As NASA fired up a probe
To make quite sure they hadn’t lost a spy

That was the day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
They saved the entire human race
And disappeared without a trace
That was the day the aliens saved the world

China blamed the USA
NASA didn’t know what to say
So pointed the finger at Japan

The data from that tiny probe
Sent shock waves all around the globe
That spaceship was from another world

That moment every feuding nation
Charged by fear and indignation
Turned to her cousins for support

We found a reason to unite
To gather every nation’s might
Comrades, now, to fight the common foe

That was the day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
They saved the entire human race
And disappeared without a trace
That was the day the aliens saved the world

We begged the ole’ U S of A
To saddle up and save the day
And use their WMD for good
Just like the good guys do in Hollywood

The Muslim asked the Israelite
To join him in his holy fight
Xenophobes all lost their fears
Vendettas festering for years
Evaporated in a single day

That was the day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
They saved the entire human race
And disappeared without a trace
That was the day the aliens saved the world

Faced with our united force
The spacemen chose another course
And slipped peacefully into the Milky Way

Victorious, the world rejoiced
In unison, a single voice
Til the Sun pushed up to start a brand new day.

That was the day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
The day the aliens saved the world
They saved the entire human race
And disappeared without a trace
That was the day the aliens saved the world
