The Invaders Lyrics - Ray Davies

They called us "The Invaders" 

So we came from another world 

And the man from immigration 

Shouted out "hey punk, you a boy or a girl?" 

"Hey tutti-frutti give us a kiss" 

The custom man proclaimed 

'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down 

And things would never be the same 

The day The Invaders came 

They called us The Invaders 

Like creatures from the black lagoon 

Said that we were dangerous 

Like space invaders from the moon 

We just came to see the world 

And entertain America 

We just came to get a break 

But we turned into enemies of the state 

'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down 

And things would never be the same 

The day The Invaders came 

They called us illegal aliens 

As though we were punks in and off the state 

And as we walked through immigration 

They heard me speak and shouted "hey you wait" 

"Hey you buddy get back in the line 

This side's all full" 

'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down 

And things would never be the same 

The day The Invaders came 

They called us The Invaders 

Like barbarians from the past 

Said that we were dangerous 

Like warriors sent to pillage and rape 

We all danced to a different tune 

But they didn't like my attitude 

Culture clash like chalk and cheese 

This is understood in the land of the free 

'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down 

And things would never be the same 

The day The Invaders the came, yes 

'Cause the world as we knew it turned upside down 

And things would never be the same 

The day The Invaders the came
