Slouching Toward Bethlehem

This is Joni Mitchel musical interpretation of the poem I talked about yesterday. I do not think Bush is the beast, but I did find the graphics of him at the end amusing. Thanks to Eric Anderson for the link. 

We Don't Need No Education

I remember the modest controversy about this song. I knew exactly what the song was saying, appartently some did not not. I had never seen the video. Now we all have:

When The Man Comes Around

The Man comes around from time to time without it being His final return. In any event it is an interesting presentation-both for Cash and his videographer. Appartently "der sinn des lebens" is German for the meaning of life.

 

Judgment Day 's Not Coming

Ancient prophets often were musicians, or hired them for their presentations. In our modern society the role of the prophet is fulfilled by the musician. I am not saying that this song is in anyway inspired by God, but it is prophetic-suitable for the prophecypodcast.com. 

As the chorus of the following song tells us:

Judgment Day's not coming,
Judgment Day's not coming,
Judgment Day's not coming-soon enough. 

Why? The blood of our victims cries to us from the ground, like the ancient blood of Abel. We, like Cain, cannot hear the cries, we are deaf. What mark, like Cain, do we wear? Is it the mark of the beast? 

Probably not everyone's "cup of tea," but I like it. 

Here are the Lyrics:

Everybody wants to live in a lie,
But why should we delude ourselves?
It's not as if we can't see something's wrong,
Where's the duty to what's right?
Intentions end with empty words,
And chaos replaces order.
Those who shout loudest, impose their will,
Upholding laws that serve a few,
Declaring peace while the sirens sing,
In the name of progress, in the name of madness.
Drum beats faster, crowd shouts louder,
And chaos replaces order.
I want justice for a voice that can't be heard,
Vindication for every suffering and hurt,
Let retribution hold dominion over Earth,
Because judgement day's not coming,
Judgement day's not coming soon enough.
Because judgement day's not coming,
Judgement day's not coming,
Judgement day's not coming,
Judgement day's not coming soon enough.
I want justice for a voice that can't be heard,
Vindication for every suffering and hurt,
Let retribution hold dominion over Earth,
Because judgement day's not coming,
Judgement day's not coming.
I want justice for a voice that can't be heard,
Vindication for every suffering and hurt,
Let retribution hold dominion over Earth,
Because judgement day's not coming,
Judgement day's not coming soon enough.
