The Invaders
The Invaders: Challenging Norms and Cultural Clashes
Lyrics
They called us "The Invaders"
They were labeled "The Invaders."
So we came from another world
They came from another world.
And the man from immigration
The immigration officer questioned their identity.
Shouted out "hey punk, you a boy or a girl?"
The immigration officer asked if they were a boy or a girl.
"Hey tutti-frutti give us a kiss"
A request for a kiss with a playful reference to "tutti-frutti."
The custom man proclaimed
The customs officer made a proclamation.
'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down
The world underwent a drastic change, turning upside down.
And things would never be the same
This event marked a permanent shift in things.
The day The Invaders came
The day "The Invaders" arrived.
They called us The Invaders
They were called "The Invaders" again.
Like creatures from the black lagoon
Comparison to creatures from the black lagoon.
Said that we were dangerous
Perceived as dangerous, like space invaders.
Like space invaders from the moon
The purpose was to see the world and entertain America.
We just came to see the world
Intentions were harmless, but they turned into enemies of the state.
And entertain America
We just came to get a break
They came seeking opportunities.
But we turned into enemies of the state
However, they were treated as enemies of the state.
'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down
The world changed drastically.
And things would never be the same
A lasting impact on the way things were.
The day The Invaders came
The day "The Invaders" had a profound effect.
They called us illegal aliens
They were labeled as illegal aliens.
As though we were punks in and off the state
Portrayed as troublemakers affecting the state.
And as we walked through immigration
Immigration encounter and being asked to wait.
They heard me speak and shouted "hey you wait"
Their speech led to attention and instructions.
"Hey you buddy get back in the line
Instructions to return to the line.
This side's all full"
The other side is full.
'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down
The world changed for them.
And things would never be the same
A lasting impact on their lives.
The day The Invaders came
The day "The Invaders" faced challenges.
They called us The Invaders
Again referred to as "The Invaders."
Like barbarians from the past
Comparison to barbarians from the past.
Said that we were dangerous
Perceived as dangerous warriors.
Like warriors sent to pillage and rape
Associations with pillaging and rape.
We all danced to a different tune
A diverse group with different perspectives.
But they didn't like my attitude
Not liked due to attitude differences.
Culture clash like chalk and cheese
Cultural clash in the land of the free.
This is understood in the land of the free
Understanding cultural differences.
'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down
The world underwent a profound change.
And things would never be the same
A lasting impact on the way things were.
The day The Invaders the came, yes
The day "The Invaders" left their mark.
'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down
And things would never be the same
The world changed significantly.
The day The Invaders the came
The day "The Invaders" made an enduring impact.
