I Saw It In The News

Skirmish: I saw it in the news... (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
Politics and religion... never divisive topics at all. Sick of my mormon relatives being totally happy with the nonsense that's going on because "Jesus is coming, and these are just the signs, and it's going to get worse before it gets better, so who cares about climate change??"
I just cannot even anymore.
This was both cathartic while also not cathartic at all. Not religious but have a healthy dose of religious trauma.
I did everything
Lyrics
I saw it in the news Mark of the anti-christ Worn on the forehead
I saw it in the news Nearly dealt a fatal wound But miraculously healed
I saw it in the news Declared himself god Detained those who disagreed
I saw it in the news Wars And rumors of wars
I saw it in the news I saw it in the bible I'm not a believer But I know you are
Living for the start While praying for the end Just breaks my bleeding heart By one I used to call a friend
I saw it in the news I saw it in the bible I'm not a believer But I know you are
I'm disappointed That I, an apostate Can see more than you You the anointed
Comments
I get so frustrated by this attitude as well! The last verse especially grabbed me, the rhyme of disappointed and anointed.
Good strong shape to show that events are more baffling for some observers than others. Makes a good point.
Ooof, as a former mormon, this hits hard. Luckily most of my mormon relatives are against what's happening. A lot of people don't realize that it's an apocalypse religion.
religious news is an oxymoron good skirmish response
