This song by The The was released in 1989. Matt Johnson's lyrical genius was prophetic then and very telling today.
"Islam is rising, the Christians mobilizing
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds"
(full lyrics below)The The - "Armageddon Days Are Here (again)"
Are you right here Jesus? Ah
Buddha? Yeah
Muhammad? Okay
But all right friends, lets goThey're 5 miles high as the crow flies
Leavin' vapor trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the east toward the west
With balaclava helmets over their heads, yesBut if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hijacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising, the Christians mobilizing
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creedsIt's war, she cried, it's war, she cried, this is war
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
You will thank the good Lord for raising the union jack
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbor
And the bodies come floating back
Watch the ships sail out of harbor
And the bodies come floating backBut if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hijacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
Islam is rising, the Christians mobilizing
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creedsIf the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
But God didn't build himself that throne
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
God doesn't belong to the Yankee dollar
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hezbollah
God doesn't even go to church
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
No, God will remind us what we already know
That the human race is about to reap what it's sownIslam is rising, the Christians mobilizing
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creedsArmageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are here again
Armageddon days are hereSongwriters:
JOHNSON, MATT
