The Drones - Shut Down SETI lyrics

You're going out broadcasting my name Did god not furnish you with brains? If they are there they're there therefore Their silence may be called for If they are there they're there and mute So maybe we should follow suit They might know something that we don't Something our pride is hiding I ain't laying claim to sanity I'm talking more about vanity If there were mirrors in the sky Well then we'd shut down SETI There is a wilderness more wild Than anything you can conceive Straight way up 70 miles Silence is eternity It's not that they could be our kings It's more about f** ups like Nanjing Do we need an overlord That finds us underwhelming? You don't defend your house and home By jumping down a rabbit hole You can't defend the open sky Let alone our actions And all that talk about ET being advanced Would only mean he wears the pants High tech don't mean higher moral standards man That's kinda racist You're thinking like they're coming to us to learn You think maybe they haven't heard? They might be little Might be green But hardly green with envy There's a wilderness more wild Than anything you can conceive Straight way up 70 miles Silence is eternity There's a wilderness so wild You don't want anybody seeing Especially those who seem to know And are willing to forgive
