I've had that *tag* for a while now but reading your response on the Montreal Massacre thread I remembered the rest of the song (Cohen) and how much it related to old white men who are afraid of the future:
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil’s riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There’ll be the breaking of the ancient western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There’ll be phantoms
There’ll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You’ll see a woman hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets coming round
tryin’ to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin’
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don’t like children anyhow
I’ve seen the future’ baby:
it is murder
..and now the wheels of heaven stop.

Hi cl zoomer.
just thought I'd mention that the first bits of the song are also relevant.

"I'm the little jew who wrote the Bible??"
Yes and no, I think. He can go read it himself.

I was thinking of the first verse, actually.
Key: Complain about this post
