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)
