The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Twilight Zone meets the Covid Tyranny

Here’s my Twilight Zone tribute song based on one of the iconic shows from the series.  In the classic episode neighbors turn against neighbors in a shocking display of mob violence.

In my version, the “monsters” are now “viruses” and the people begin scapegoating others who refuse to accept the mainstream narrative.

Listen to The Monsters are Due on Maple Street on either Soundcloud or Spotify.  And check out the lyrics below.

Here are excerpts from the original show. 

And if you haven’t already seen my Substack Twilight Zone video spoof, Nightmare at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, check it out here:

The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

The monsters come so feel the beat
We’ll fight them now and that’s a treat
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
The monsters spread like wildfire
Bringing out our worst desires
Play by our rules,
And that’s all we require

Chorus: The monsters are everywhere
You can’t admit it, and you don’t care
We trust our experts all the way
No time to question, we must obey

Now I know we won’t be complete
Unless we all take the heat
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

The monsters kill, that’s what we believe
We’re stuck inside, we cannot leave
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

The monsters leave us paranoid
Need a scapegoat to fill the void
It’s your opinion we must now destroy

Chorus: The monsters are everywhere
You can’t admit it, and you don’t care
We trust our experts all the way
No time to question, we must obey
Now I know we won’t be complete
Unless we all take the heat
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Bridge: Little Tommy he checked it all out
On his computer, said there is no doubt
Look at our neighbors, see how they stare
They’re spreading the monsters, you’ve got to beware

Anti-mosnter, a sorry lot
‘specially when you don’t take our shot
Fear is the only thing that you forgot

Instrumental verse

Chorus (2):
The monsters make you live in fear
But just go out and drink your beer
No more worries, keep your faith
We trust the doctors, who keep us safe
No need at all to be discrete
Misinformation has been leaked
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Bridge (2): Little Tommy he knows best
He says they’re superspreaders, that’s no guess
We’ve figured out, what’s about to go down
Now it’s time to drive them all out of town

The monsters come so feel the beat
We’ll fight them now and that’s a treat
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
