Monsters Lyrics
Keep going getting higher
New worlds waiting in the sky
To escape the feasting and the hunger
Not the monsters in our minds
We got our hands on this ship
And stowed away into the night
The four of us and Pasha dear
She to steer and we to fight
Fed up with rules and regulations
No more laughter left on earth
Outer space our one salvation
May god help us in our search
We went so fast that we grew younger
Put this ship on cruise control!
We all did our best with Pasha
But not as good as good ol' Joe
Love never should have entered
It was never in the plan
We were finally going to have her
And let Joe be damned
Monsters, monsters, monsters in the night
Monsters, monsters, monsters in black and white
Monsters, monsters, monsters out of control
Monsters, monsters, monsters when you're alone
Monsters, monsters, monsters feeding on themselves
Monsters, monsters on the road to hell
Joe awoke from a stupor
It was clear something was wrong
He rushed in and found us with her
And in his rage he aimed his gun
One shot and it was over
Pasha smiled and then was gone
New worlds waiting in the sky
To escape the feasting and the hunger
Not the monsters in our minds
And stowed away into the night
The four of us and Pasha dear
She to steer and we to fight
No more laughter left on earth
Outer space our one salvation
May god help us in our search
Put this ship on cruise control!
We all did our best with Pasha
But not as good as good ol' Joe
It was never in the plan
We were finally going to have her
And let Joe be damned
Monsters, monsters, monsters in black and white
Monsters, monsters, monsters out of control
Monsters, monsters, monsters when you're alone
Monsters, monsters, monsters feeding on themselves
Monsters, monsters on the road to hell
It was clear something was wrong
He rushed in and found us with her
And in his rage he aimed his gun
Pasha smiled and then was gone

Basically four guys and a girl steal a spaceship. Then one guy falls in love with the girl. He walks in on her having an orgy with all the other guys and in a rage shoots her.
According to the "SF-References-In-Music List" (copyright by Rich Kulawiec), the song "Monsters" is about a small group of people who escape a ravaged Earth but wind up battling each other over one of the women. An article in the British magazine NME referred to the song as being about "gang bangs and piracy in hyperspace".
What's not mentioned here that should seem obvious is they are now space bound with no way to keep the human race alive anymore, now that Pasha is dead... All over jealousy... Pity, really...
@KickinFamily Possibly, and it is great that you're thinking about the context of the lyrics. But I disagree with you. The thing is is that nowhere in the song does it say that they are the last people alive. It appears that the earth is dying and they're also trying to escape oppressive policies (fed up with rules and regulations). So I can't agree with the idea that they're the last ones left. Also, even with a handful of people, you wouldn't stand much of a chance of extending the human race beyond about 45 or 6 generations due to inbreeding.

@KickinFamily i'm sorry--I meant to say 5 or 6 generations.
