Take Me To Your Leader

Take me to your leader, because 
You obviously don't understand alien-speak
And you don't look at all happy to see me
 I'm quite sure I'll get along better with him
Besides, I only speak to men of authority
Perhaps he could teach me a thing or two
About the human race
Take me to your leader, because 
We need to communicate, leader to leader
Your leader needs to understand
That I come in peace. He would be glad to know
That my demands are rather small
All I want is a brief sojourn here on Earth
It's a simple request. I just need his permission
I want to know what life is really like on this planet
I promise not to fornicate with any human being
I promise to go back from where I came
Your leader needs to understand
That I come in peace, I really do!
There will be dire consequences
There will be war if I don't get my way
I'll bring an army; I'll unleash armageddon
Hostile takeover will be in full effect
