There is much discussion about the controversial topic of "Illegals" infiltrating the borders of our country these days, but not many are paying attention to the "other" Illegals that come and go with no apparent government oversight.

This song was inspired when I was driving home from band rehearsal last April 2010 and saw a rare event. A GREEN fireball with a brilliant colored tail of sparks was seen traveling horizontally across the sky at approximately the altitude of a small passenger airplane. It seemed to be flying over the northern part of Cedar Rapids toward the northeast when I lost visual due to the trees and buildings.

If you have only a small amount of information to begin a song, where do you go from there to fill out the other verses? Being a HUGE fan of the "Men in Black" movies, I tied the story line in with the juxtaposition of aliens from outer space and the more "traditional" Illegal aliens.

Intro (done with talk box):
Illegal Aliens - are comin' down on you
Illegal Aliens - makin' a mess like you do
Illegal Aliens - are comin' down on you
Illegal Aliens - don't care what they put me through

People say that I might be crazy
but I don't know what to do
A green fireball fell from the sky
and it landed outside of my view

I tried to follow but it's hard to do
in a crowded city drivin' a car
so I went on home and turned on the news
They said it was a falling star

Universal truths we've yet to find
Sub-atomic particle beams — guaranteed to blow your mind!
Ya gotta have an I.D. or passport to even board a plane
Aliens come and go as they please and it's drivin' me insane!

Little green men that shift their shape
when they see you enter into the room
Everyone else just looks the other way
They're like zombies, wrapped in coccoons!

Universal truths we've yet to find
Sub-atomic particle beams — guaranteed to blow your mind!
Ya gotta have an I.D. card or a passport to even board a plane
Aliens come and go as they please and it's drivin' me insane!

Illegal Aliens are movin' into my space
Don't wanna be politically correct—
get 'em outta my place – get 'em outta my face, oh yeah
Drivin' down my property value—they're up to no good
Illegal Aliens – "Now there goes the neighborhood!"

Universal truths we've yet to find
Sub-atomic particle beams — guaranteed to blow your mind!
Ya gotta have an I.D. or passport to even board a plane
Aliens come and go as they please and it's drivin' me insane!
