While I am not the first to point this out I am sure, the band Wilco has this song called "War on War". I am not a music buff. In fact I was recently told that I like music which can easily be substituted for background music for any products that target the 40-60 year old mothers of this country.
Needless to say I am not hip with the music of today. When I ran across this song and heard it again for the first time in a long time I could not but hear very strong Christian undertones. Is Wilco a "Christian" band? If not, then why cannot more "Christian bands" sound better than the junk I hear on the Christian radio? (They all sound to me like they are reading a Hallmark card to a 3 year old child who just found out that his puppy died due to heartworms. Can we drop the airy-ness of Christian vocalists?)
For those of you who work in a controlled environment (Lockheed) or those who work for a lame boss who will not allow you to play Youtube videos, below this embedded frame you can find the lyrics to Wilco's song.
Peace.
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on war
It's a war on warIt's a war on war
There's a war on
You're gonna lose
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
Let's watch the miles flying by
Let's watch the miles flying by
You are not my typewriter
But you could be my demon
Moving forward through flaming doors
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
If you wanna be alive
O.k.
You have to lose
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
If you wanna be alive
You have to die
You have to die
You have to learn how to die
If you wanna be alive
