Lyrically I do like this song, musically I think its horrible and not one of their best slower songs. Who's on your side? on Land of the Free? is so much better smoother and expertly executed, and so are the lyrics. I do like the criticism this song(alien) provides: the apathy that currently plagues our society. Indirectly he's making a plea for people to change their way of life and adopt a peaceful attitude and positive state of mind. Who is the alien he is referring to? he and others who believe in and follow peace. we who believe in peace and alternative ways of living their lives are aliens in our own society.
