We're saving the planet from aliens,
Stop treating it like its a game.
We're spilling our blood for the greater good,
Though our rookies don't know how to aim.
We're building new technology,
That puts our guns to shame.
You probably haven't heard of us,
But XCOM is our name.

And we'll fight! Fight! Fight!
Every place they dare to tread;
At least until a xeno shoots a teammate in the head;
Then we'll stop and mourn the dead.
Then we'll keep on fighting cause we don't have any choice,
And we'll push 'em back, and drive 'em out,
Until we can rejoice,
When the planet's finally free,
and we shout our victory:
Vigilo! Confido! XCOM!

When Mutons are marching in Mexico,
Or Floaters are fighting in France;
If Chryssalids hit us in India,
And Sectopods savage Japan;
We'll send a squad to bravely save,
The citizens we can.
We're fighting an unknown enemy;
We serve the Shadow Man.

And we'll fight! Fight! Fight!
Every place they dare to tread;
At least until a xeno shoots a teammate in the head;
Then we'll stop and mourn the dead.
Then we'll keep on fighting cause there's nothing else to do,
And we'll shoot 'em up and cut 'em down,
Until the task is through;
When the aliens retreat,
And our motto we repeat:
Vigilo! Confido! XCOM!
