What did the Daleks ever do to you? What makes us so much badder than that meddling doctor… who? We’re little more than garbage cans that barely reach your knees With bodies made of tin-foil and some flashing LEDs
We’d like to get to know you better We think it’d be great It really means “I love you” when we say *EXTERMINATE*
What is your big problem with the dark lords of the Sith? Those pesky rebel Jedis like to spread this hurtful myth The Force Choke and the Deathstar were unfortunate mistakes And the footage of the Ewok thing was obviously faked
We’re really not so bad you know We’re good guys, through and through And if you search your feelings, you will know it to be true
We Cylons are misunderstood, it’s a fact you can’t deny We’re just another human scheme gone terribly awry You built a master-race of robots, for to be your slaves And somehow you assumed we’d acquiesce and we’d behave
But we’re willing to forgive you all For holding us in thrall And you can take our word - so say one, so say we all
You hate the Borg collective; have you stopped to question why? Just ‘cause we assimilated some uptight, bald British guy? Our story-lines made Voyager an unexpected hit And do we even need to bring up Jeri Ryan’s *ahem* …implants?
We’re the best addition to the franchise since Wrath of Khan Resistance isn’t futile, it’s just highly frowned upon
Well the Daleks are cool, the Sith are all right, the Cylons are okay and the Borg are pretty tight. If you take a look around I think that you’ll come to see, we really are superior, so sing along with me:
Bow down before the one you serve You’re going to get what you deserve..

In celebration of Fish Fingers and Custard day, I offer up “Sympathy for the Daleks” by the fantastic comedy folk rock band Nerds With Guitars. I have seen them live and they are hilarious in person!
