lyrics

What do you think they did with all the Minuteman Missiles
Did they come take them at night when we all were asleep
Who's gonna get rid of all this Canadian Thistle
Who's gonna make sure the prairie is free of the weeds

Up above the planes are dropping
Chemicals to stop the growing
Down below the roots are thriving
To survive, they're colonizing

Why do you think we need so many Minuteman Missiles
Why did they bury them deep in the heart of the land
Will the letters ever reach the elected officials
There isn't much we can do but we do what we can

Sweep the atmosphere with radar
Destroy all the space invaders
Blow them up over the ocean
Usher in the age of Roaches

Hide inside the tiny shelters
Eat the sardines and the peaches
Wait until the world stops growing
Welcome to the new beginning

Up above the planes are dropping
Up above the plains
Up above the planes are dropping
Up above the plains

What do you think they did with all the Minuteman Missiles
Did they come take them at night when we all were asleep
