“Now it’s comes to this
Wide-eyed armies of the faithful
From the Middle East to the Middle West
Pray, and pass the ammunition
So many people think that way
You gotta watch what you say
To them and them, and others too
Who don’t seem to see the things the way you do
Now it’s come to this
Hollow speeches of mass deception
From the Middle East to the Middle West
Like crusaders in unholy alliance
Now it’s come to this
Like we’re back in the Dark Ages
From the Middle East to the Middle West
It’s a plague that resists all science”
These are some of the lyrics from Rush’s new album “Snakes and Arrows”. No, I haven’t heard the album, but I do know the works of Rush, and all I need to do is read the lyrics. I’m ordering one right now.
Interesting review, and yes this guy is usually on target. You’ll get a taste of the thoughts related via the songs.
BTW-Rolling Stone turned 40 this month, but not that I would care… it’s meant for the great unwashed masses.
