Star Wars Times

It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
The Emperor is the queen
Darth Vader’s a child-slayer stationed at the BBC

The sand people are the radical radicalists of the modern day
The storm troopers are the racist cops shooting up the USA

It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
Science fiction mirrored in real life
It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
The force awakens

Attack of the Clones
Really should have been called attack of the drones
Chewie the Wookie is like Russell Brand
Edward Snowden’s like Han Solo
R2-D2 is your Elmo

It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
Science fiction mirrored in real life
It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
The force is here

Feels like we are living (time to wake up)
Everybody’s living
Feels like I am stuck here
In Star Wars times
Star Wars times
In Star Wars times
Star Wars times

It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
Science fiction mirrored in real life
It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
Science fiction mirrored in real life
It’s like we’re living in Star Wars times
Living in Star Wars times

The force awakens (the force is here)
The force awakens (the force is here)
The force awakens
In Star Wars times

The force is strong in this song
