Very well said sir!

I know that you and I have never got to sit and chat about all the awesome music that was (and is) out there. However...

There is NO REASON you should have left out THE THE's song "Armageddon Days (Are Here Again)" off of the 1989 album Mind Bomb. I'm sure it was a simple oversight, as you put forth some fine topic-related tracks. So I'll pick up the slack...

Are you ready for Jesus? Buddha? Mohammed?
Lets go!
They're five miles high, as the crow flies, leaving blood-red vapour trails across the sky.
Moving in from the east, towards the west, balaclava helmets over their heads.
YES!

Well 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 it's 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'll fight them on the beaches, in your underclothes.
You'll thank the good lord for raising the Union Jack.
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbor, and the bodies come floating back.
You'll watch the ships sail out of harbor, and the bodies come floating back.

Well 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 it's elbows and knees.
It's forgotten the message, and worships the creeds.

If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today, he'd be gunned down cold by the CIA.
For the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart.

Because God didn't build himself that throne, and God doesn't live in Israel or Rome.
God doesn't belong to the Yankee dollar, and God doesn't plant those bombs for Hezbollah.
God doesn't even go to church, and God won't send us down to Allah to burn.
God will remind us what we already know... that the human race is about to reap what it's sown.

Islam is rising, the Christians mobilizing.
The world is on it's elbows and knees.
It's forgotten the message, and worships the creeds.

Armageddon days are here... again
Armageddon days are here... again
Armageddon days are here... again

ARMAGEDDON DAYS ARE HERE... AGAIN!

Ahhh yes, Gill, that is a good one indeed, I could keep going on and on...

I saw them when they opened for Depeche Mode back in the early 90s...

EDIT: Here's another song, written in the 1980s, and if you read the lyrics, its EXACTLY THE SAME TODAY.

D.I. - Terrorists Life

The violent pursuit of what they hope to be...
a better world
Rejection of society and the desire...
to destroy it.
As we look back, so many attacks.
[Chorus:]
Because back through time, many men have died.
It's all the same; many will be slain.
Long live the rebels, the flashed in the sky.
Iran, Pakistan, many countries lie.
Middle East in turmoil, ironic sick game.
Looks like the world's slowly going insane.
Bombs and arms, the missiles in the sky.
If they're such men of wisdom,
why is there still terrorism?
Pope John Paul was shot in Rome.
Ronal Reagan was shot here at home.
Oktoberfest murders in Munich, Germany.
Sixty hostages in the Turkish embassy.
As we look back, they attack.
[repeat chorus]
I wonder when the world is gonna Glow.
Self destruction, they just don't know.
World destruction is a friend to us all.
Crying won't help no matter how sad.
Leaders on a one way mission;
they're on a mission to the top.
Until armageddon it seems,
until Armageddon, will they stop?

(Gotta love 80s American Punk)
