Armageddon days are here (again)

Recommended Posts

I hadn't listened to Mind Bomb in quite a while and was struck by the lyrics of this song, because I feel that behind oil religion is a major reason for this mess were in

Armegeddon days are here(again) by The The



They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Movin' in from the East toward the West
with Balaclava helmets over their heads, yes!

But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Honey you've got another thing coming
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave

Islam is rising
The Christians mobilising
The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds

It'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 out of harbour
and the bodies come floating back

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
He'd be gunned down 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 sown

The world is on its elbows and knees
It's forgotten the message and worships the creeds
Armageddon days are here again

I owned Mind Bomb on cassette once but it was ripped off. Can't even find anything on the KaZaa network.

Great album. Thanks for the reminder. I remember the seague to cut #2 is GREAT.

where dose this come from



"The The" is the name of the band

The album "Mind Bomb" came out in 88 I believe.

When they mention great 80's music MJ and The The are never mentioned. Kinda like Zappa in the 70's(not really a good anology but I been drinkin)

Anyways I'll always remeber the liner notes said 'play this very very loud with the lights very dim'
