Does the world ever seem like a nightmare
Some suffer but the other ones don’t care
What does it matter if it’s going on elsewhere
Like it doesn’t happen if it's not happening here
There’s a girl with only a mother and her dad just won't seem to bother
No love so she finds a lover
Now she has a child who doesn’t have a father

Chorus
Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O Yeah I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
Cause we won't need them when the kingdom comes.

When the Communists turn into the terrorists
But the axis came before the Soviets
And before that came the Confederates
We’ll always have a war to fight
You can count on this

With every cure there comes another sickness
The earth dies with every bit of progress
We've gone deaf to the cries of oppressed
What we need is Jesus to redeem us

Chorus

Now the world doesn’t work cause we’ve broken it
And we need dope or Prozac just to cope with it
Now the beast speaks its peace the Congress
Plans to Propagate
Proposition 666
Hitler’s still alive in the knives of abortionists
And the news twist the truth like contortionists
And they wonder what happened to humanity
You say peace but we’re headed for calamity

Chorus

We long for the day when we will see the heavens and the earth as they should be.

Behind the Song:
'Everything and everyone was originally created to be in relationship with each other. But we are fallen, and our falleness manifests itself in a division of self-seeking glory. Instead of all things uniting to bring glory to God, we arrive against one another trying to glorify ourselves. Man against earth, man against God and man against man. The results are murder, war, divorce, classism, racism...(etc.). Even our hearts and minds fight against one another. Everything is at war! But Christ is the prince of peace and his gospel is reconciliation. In the kingdom what is divided and broken will be made new, and we will see what the heavens and the earth were meant to be.' - Matt Morginsky (The O.C. Supertones)
