Lyrics by Zimmy Dandy

When the others left the planet
The ruling class elite
Through some miserable mistake
I wasn’t taken aboard the fleet

They said they’ll come and get me
Before the earth goes up in flames
But the proles know why we left now
And they’ll want to be treated the same

They have no place among us
And our spaceships have no room
These 20,000 peasants
Must be left to their doom

But they will not let me leave here
And they can’t all come too
So before the pod arrives
I’ve got a job to do

I am Ben the Destroyer
I was left behind
With the charge to annihilate
The rest of mankind

With my class 9000 phaser
I’ll destroy the colony
Women, men, and children
None will escape from me

As I walk into the city
I hear cries of anger and shock
I simply keep on walking
I pay no heed to the talk

Then, with sudden movement
I open fire on the crowd
They fall in droves before me
Their cries now painfully loud

In the next few violent days
I take them down one by one
They run before me like rabbits
Fleeing the wrath of my gun

I am Ben the Destroyer
I was left behind
With the charge to annihilate
The rest of mankind

When at last the job is done
The commoners all lie dead
The survivors have fled to the hills
I can rest from my task of bloodshed

I wait for many hours
Past the time they said they’d come
But no one comes to my rescue
I’m left staring at the sun

It finally dawns upon me
That they’re not coming back at all
They’ve left me here alone
To await the planetfall

Yet I feel no fear or anger
In fact, I feel strangely fulfilled
And as the earth begins to crumble
I start to laugh unwilled

I am Ben the Destroyer
I was left behind
With the charge to annihilate
The rest of mankind
