TWENTIETH CENTURY ⌛️ COLD CHISEL 📀 1984

LYRICS 💽💽💽 1984 ⏳
Standing on this intersection
Yelling for my change
Watching personalities
Collapse and re-arrange
Gotta smile about it
Gotta surf it out or drown
In the twentieth century
Some guy selling liberty
You've heard it all before
Let's take some pet minority
To fame in eighty-four
Lots of fortunes and
Reputations to be found
In the twentieth century
Yankees lookin' east and west
Before they cross the road
It's Hollywood democracy 👈🏽
It really doesn't bother me
It's entertainment, baby
It explodes
Let the K.G.B. devise
Just what comes after civilised 👈🏽
This intersection's big enough for me
And when I get some change
I'll disappear
It's tricky
But, thank God, it's never organised 👈🏽
I'm talking about the twentieth century
The twentieth century
The twentieth century

A reflection offered by a monk ☦️⛪️

St. Demetrios was ordered to persecute Christians but did not listen to the Emperor. Every day we are enticed to lesser temptations that test our resolve. So often do we hear: sleep a little longer, eat and drink a little bit more, go to the service late, follow this or that thought wherever it leads, excuse yourself from your prayer rule due to tiredness, do not sacrifice yourself for others – do we obey? If we are not conscientious of the little ways in which we need to put to death the desires of the flesh and give life to the Spirit, how will we overcome when the greater trials come, when we are asked to give blood to attain the spirit?

However many and however great and burdensome your sins may be, with God there is greater mercy. Just as His majesty is,
so likewise is His mercy.
St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow ☦️
