verse 1 
     D               G D 
They called us The Invaders 
D                E7     A 
So we came from another world 
        D            G  D 
And the man from immigration 
        D                       A        D 
Shouted out "Hey punk, you're a boy or a girl?" 
G 
"Hey tutti-frutti give us a kiss" 
    D             A 
The custom man proclaimed 

 
           D                           G                                         A 
'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down and things would never be the same 
    D         A      D 
The day The Invaders came 

verse 2 
D                    G D 
They called us The Invaders 
     G                  A 
Like creatures from the black lagoon 
D                 G    D 
Said that we were dangerous 
     G              A 
Like space invaders from the moon 
G               A                 G          A 
We just came to see the world and entertain America 
G               A 
We just came to get a break 
       G                 A 
Not to turn into enemies of the state 

 
           D                           G                                         A 
'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down and things would never be the same 
    D         A      D 
The day The Invaders came

verse 3 
     D                 G  D 
They called us illegal aliens 
   D                           E7       A 
As though we were punks in and off the state 
          D                  G  D 
And as we walked through immigration 
     D                          A        D 
They heard me speak and shouted out "You wait!" 
G 
"Hey you buddy, get back in the line" 
    D                 A 
His eyes were full of hate 

 
           D                           G                                         A 
'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down and things would never be the same 
    D         A      D 
The day The Invaders came 

verse 4 
     D               G D 
They called us The Invaders 
G               A 
Like barbarians full of hate 
                  G    D 
Said that we were dangerous 
     G                A 
Like warriors sent to pillage and rape 
G                  A 
We all danced to a different tune 
G                       A 
But they didn't like my attitude 
G                  A 
Culture clash like chalk and cheese 
G                    A 
Misunderstood in the land of the free 

 
           D                           G                                         A 
'Cause the world as you knew it turned upside down and things would never be the same 
    D         A      D 
The day The Invaders came 
         D                          G                                         A 
Yes, the world as we knew it turned upside down and things would never be the same 
    D         A      D       A  D 
The day The Invaders came
