Lyrics
I had a run-in with the One
He got the drop, now I'm on the run
I'm just a rebel, I won't take no mark
I wait till after dark
I lost an arm
I lost a leg
I lost my job now I've got to beg
We lost it all, now we're in the cold
Good Lord, save our souls
Tribulation
Got me dead to rights
Tribulation
Got the blues tonight
Nowhere to run, no place to hide
No way to fight, God knows we've tried
Big brother's watching
His Eye's on you
What you gonna do?
One is the number of despair
Two are the pain and the cross we bear
Three for the holy trinity
But that's all Greek to me
Tribulation
There's no turning back
Tribulation
Last train to Iraq
Why all the moaning?
We go through this every day
Your bible told you
Help is on the way
No more complaining
Time to sing a different tune
Lord only knows
Armageddon's coming soon
So let's be at the ready
The Army of the Lord
One hundred forty-four thousand
Righteous left in all the world
The signs are all around us
The end is surely near
But now more pressing matters
A spy, a spy is here, I fear
I'm not a spy you fool
I came to help the cause
But from what I've heard thus far
My trip may be a total loss
What kind of army
Sits around and talks all night
What happened to you people?
You used to fight the good fight
A shame it's lame how badly you were beaten
It's tragic you were magic in your season
You need a leader!
Peter!
Not some halfwit shaman
Psychotic, psychedelic preacher
What's with this Peter?
Peter!
The power of the One is growing
The time has come to fight, get going!
No psychobabble people
Nor portents of the end
Just a solid plan of action
Invade, attack, regroup, defend
You have right here guns, bombs and brains
The only things you need
To send the tyrant a clear message
That we're not totally asleep
A brain, a bomb, we'll take them on we'll beat them
Today we know we'll strike a blow for freedom
A brain, a bomb, we'll take them on we'll beat them
Today we know we'll strike a blow for freedom
Gonna tear it down, tear it down
Gonna tear it down, tear it down
Gonna tear it down, tear it down
Gonna tear it down, tear it down
Order, order, order!
We simply must have order!
Surrender now do not resist
Order, order, order!
The people demand order!
This anarchy must not persist
Make a net, surround the place
Pillage, loot and trample
Let's take this one back to base
He'll make a great example
