It's a dirty, filthy job, but it's gotta be done;
There's a battle goin' on, it's gotta be won.
I'm a million miles from home in a foreign place;
The battleground this time, you see, is outer space.
I'm a Defender, a mutant bender.
I'm a Defender, a mind bender.
I'll defend the state to the end;
I'm the captain of a ship and its men.
There's a lander up ahead, now he's goin' down;
Now I'm chasing a baiter around and around.
Here comes a bomber, now this is my chance
To fire the laser and watch him dance.
I'm a Defender, a mutant bender.
I'm a Defender, a mind bender.
I'll defend the state to the end;
I'm the captain of this ship and its men.
I'm a Defender, a mutant bender.
I'm a Defender, a mind bender.
I'll defend the state to the end;
I'm the captain of this ship and its men.
A pod has appeared at the top of the screen;
They're the hardest to get, if you know what I mean.
A miss, then a hit, now he's fading away;
I've done all I can, at least for today.
I'm a Defender, a mutant bender.
I'm a Defender, a mind bender.
I'll defend the state to the end;
I'm the captain of this ship and its men.
I'm a Defender, I'm a Defender, a mutant bender,
I'm a Defender, a mind bender
