'Cause the Dworld as you knew it turned Gupside down and things would never be the Asame
The Dday The InAvaders Dcame

DThey called us The InGvaDders
Like Gcreatures from the Ablack lagoon
DSaid that we were GdangeDrous
Like Gspace invaders Afrom the moon
GWe just came to Asee the world and Gentertain AAmerica
GWe just came to Aget a break
Not to Gturn into enemies Aof the state
