They Live (Repost)

One of John Carpenter\'s best
This time no Kurt Russell in a vest
Rowdy Roddy Piper as Nada and Keith David as Frank
Released in 1988
4 years after I was born mate
But back to the movie
Put on the sunglasses and you\'ll see
Subliminal messages hidden but could it be?
Obey, stay asleep, watch TV, submit, consume, conform
Nada can\'t believe his eyes and nothing is no longer the norm
Things get worse, seeing aliens in disguise
He realises his life been nothing but lies
Tries to put the glasses on Frank but he refused
A fight ensues and they both don\'t want to lose
Finally gets them on and over his eyes
Frank too sees the lies
They find a human rebel base
Take off the sunglasses and replace
With contact lenses
Learning of a plan to cripple the alien defense\'s
A signal to stop them from being seen with normal sight
Some of the humans work with the aliens
Paid off to betray their own kind
The two must end the signal to stop everyone from being blind
Transmitter is found on top of a news station
Frank gets killed and so does Nada too
But not before the transmitter that he blew
After it\'s destruction
The whole planet is aware of the lies and corruption
Aliens can be seen
You\'d expect them to be green
But they blue with parts of red in between
Humans awaken from the dream
That\'s the last scene
