| The Stranglers – The Meninblack (Waiting for 'Em) Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| It's not cannibalism if, as some UFOlogists believe, the Meninblack are actually aliens. There is one lyric I disagree with here (and in every version I found). Where it says "so the best stock will survive, we eat you all alive", I have always heard it as "we KEEP you all alive", which would lead one to believe that perceived altruism on the part of government agencies and world organizations is really just a way to support the aliens' effort to produce a better food stock. It ties in with the idea that they "make us function" toward this end. While this could be argued in the light of the line "we made you live to kill", this is more of a "divide and conquer" strategy and not a contradiction to the idea that groups like WHO and the CDC are backed by aliens. Not that I believe that, heheh. after all, the song is a very paranoid piece, one of its attractions. | |
