				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the aliens came, we weren&#8217;t ready for them</p>
<p>They came as friends, but we took them for conquerors</p>
<p>They wanted to share their culture and science</p>
<p>We thought they were trying to assimilate us</p>
<p>So we attacked.</p>
<p>And they left.</p>
<p>And now we&#8217;re all alone.</p>
<p>Quarantined civilization.</p>
<p>Xenophobic doom.</p>
<p><em>And there you have it (for now.)  To emphasize the fact that the song is in three parts, the recording will be made up of three distinct-sounding parts.  Each of the three 50-word segments has its own rhythm, and they will be linked with something special (which I haven&#8217;t devised yet&#8230;)</em></p>
<p><em>Now, in order to catch up to the back-log, I still owe you another story.  This will come later tonight.<br />
