Star Scum

Who’s that surfin’ out in space?
Star scum
Must be that damn human race –
Star scum
Warp nine racing round the suns
With their hot rods and their guns
Careless of their neighbors’ curse
Terrors of the universe
Star scum

It was quieter before
Hearing waves break on the shore
Now the skies are full of noise
Rowdy gangs of girls and boys
Watch out
Here they come
Star scum!

Cosmic wind that blew no good
Brought them to our neighborhood
Spewing gases, strewing junk,
Pretty trinkets in their trunk
Punk planet!

Lock your door and hide your brew
Pull your black hole after you
They will ruin your son and daughter,
“Ugly bags of mostly water”
Star scum!

What a frightening thing to see
Outlaw species on a spree
Livin’ fast and livin’ high
Leaving skid marks on the sky
Star scum

Where’d they come from? On the farm
Way out on the spiral arm
Gettin’ by on luck and charm
Star scum

Blooming like some toxic flower
Since the Union came to power
They’re a race that feels no shame
Now we all know who to blame
Star scum

Nuke pollution – bad tv –
Spread ‘em through the galaxy
Star scum

Techno – disco – pizza pies –
How’d we live without you guys?
Solar slimeballs, cosmic crud
Balls of fire and minds of mud
Put some rubbers in your pants
Grab a humanoid and dance
Who you gonna call?
Star scum!
