The Game

The word is that Earth women going insane
Because the men of the planet think they’re playing a game
Where the rules of humanity just get in the way
And power entitles them to think its okay
So I come to pay a visit from a faraway moon
To try to get society to change its tune
And I drop down in the dead of the night
Cuz I’m an alien bitch who’s gonna set things right

The first thing I see is a lecherous dude
Who devises a plan whenever he’s in the mood
He goes to the club and he turns on the look
He knows that everything he says is just like bait on a hook
And then he lines up drinks for anything in a dress
And the next day he tries to say that ‘no’ meant ‘yes’
So she goes back home with a head full of shame
Never knowing that she was just a pawn in his game

Another thing I see is a fraternity dance
He got his date behind a dumpster, trying to get in her pants
What started with a kiss is now out of control
He thinks that scoring with her’s akin to scoring a goal
And then he leaves her on the ground and goes back to the fun
Never thinking much about the mental damage he’s done
Even when she turns him in so he can face his crime
The judge knows the game, so he serves no time

Bridge 1:
I see so much I can’t explain
It’s time to change the game

The next day I see a man on the news
Saying he’s the victim of a political ruse
She passes a polygraph, but he won’t dare
Becomes a “He said, she said,” which goes nowhere

Then I come across a chauvinist boss
Who thinks his secretary’s job is to get him off
It doesn’t matter that she has two college degrees
She will never get ahead unless she gets on her knees

Finally, an arrogant head of State
Has over 20 allegations of assault and rape
He calls them all liars, even his ex-wife
A teenage girl dropped a lawsuit when he threatened her life

He even brags about grabbing and kissing and when women
Come forward with their stories, he denies anything happened,
He tries to spin it and pivot, he tells the world he’s a victim
The bigger issue is the millions of people who listen.


I see injustice from a million miles away
I cannot comprehend what happens on this planet every day
And though it’s not my place to tell you how your world should be
I can’t sit back and do nothing about what I see

Bridge:
I see fear
I see fight
I see
I see so much I can’t explain
I see doubt
I see doom
It’s time to change the game

Hard Finish:

I return to my ship in a rage
I’ve seen too much, now it’s time to engage
No more escaping the burden of proof
Whatever’s in their mind will reveal the truth

And all of the players, the bosses and dudes
The political thugs and university students
Will have to bear the brunt of my alien wrath
And suffer a fate far worse than death

I fly down low and I start to spray
The entire population with telepathy ray
They’ll have no choice but to share their crimes
Implanted into everybody else’s minds

Then finally when all of their secrets are shown
And true colors come out when their covers are blown
The attitudes will shift and the rules will change
And when I return I will see... a new game
