The Occupation The Occupation The occupation of Damnation Eternal Decreed by Commander in Chief Won by the infantry, led by the Colonel Came at costs that would beggar belief As they marched upon the inferno And the infidels dropped to their knees Millions of civilians crammed in pavilions Came to watch it on big screen TVs The population of Damnation Eternal Went from millions to thousands to one The survivor then wrote in his journal "Why on Earth did it take them so long?" Within weeks we constructed a pipeline Within years we'll have run the place dry It'll just about last us our lifetime So it's hip hip hoorays and high fives On the factory floor there's a whisper We built cannons before it began But the engines still pumping its piston And the turbine still whirring its fan The assembly line spits out the surplus Into purpose built lead lined white vans Rockets stockpile as ministry workers Fill their pockets with all that they can Secret meetings are held in the senate What to do with this excess supply There's a plan to abandon the planet One V.I.P at a time So we get up each day and have breakfast Read the news and the weather forecast As we sit and we open our letters And we pray that it won't be our last
