Angels Of Deception Lyrics
Well, it's high noon at the UK corral
And it's high time I got myself back on the rails
I'm the lonesome cowboy ridin' across the range
With just a hand held radio to keep me sane
Ridin' through the FM stations
The tumbleweed, the petrol stations
Will all onboard this Yankee station
Prepare themselves for battle stations
Jesus wept, Jesus Christ
I can't see for the tear gas
And the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
When he's bought his freedom?
By the look of this human jungle
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding
Most everyone 'round here
Thinks they're something special
That destiny will be kind
While they're digging for gold
Diving for pearls
And aiming for heaven
From this man made world
Well, come on down
The Devil's in town
He's brought you sticks and stones
To bust your neighbours bones
He's stuck his missiles in your gardens
And his theories down your throat
And God knows what you're gonna do with him
"Coz I certainly don't
Jesus wept, Jesus Christ
I can't see for the tear gas
And the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
When he's bought his freedom?
By the look of this human jungle
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding
Down by the river
I've been washing out my mouth
Coz deep in the heart of me
There's a frightened man breaking out
Oh, I was just looking for paradise
Anywhere in this world
While they're gunning for heaven
From this man made hell!
God knows because they don't
Come on down, the Devil's in town
The angels of destruction
The angels of destruction
The angels of destruction
..angels of deception
And it's high time I got myself back on the rails
I'm the lonesome cowboy ridin' across the range
With just a hand held radio to keep me sane
Ridin' through the FM stations
The tumbleweed, the petrol stations
Will all onboard this Yankee station
Prepare themselves for battle stations
I can't see for the tear gas
And the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
When he's bought his freedom?
By the look of this human jungle
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding
Thinks they're something special
That destiny will be kind
While they're digging for gold
Diving for pearls
And aiming for heaven
From this man made world
The Devil's in town
He's brought you sticks and stones
To bust your neighbours bones
He's stuck his missiles in your gardens
And his theories down your throat
And God knows what you're gonna do with him
"Coz I certainly don't
I can't see for the tear gas
And the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for
When he's bought his freedom?
By the look of this human jungle
It ain't just the poor who'll be bleeding
I've been washing out my mouth
Coz deep in the heart of me
There's a frightened man breaking out
Oh, I was just looking for paradise
Anywhere in this world
While they're gunning for heaven
From this man made hell!
Come on down, the Devil's in town
The angels of destruction
The angels of destruction
..angels of deception

Think there's two messages through this:
How the UK is becoming part of the US. How people are wrapped up in themselves, think they're amazing and how quickly they're turn on each other.
Oh, and a normal helping of how religion is used to cover up people being crap to each other.
I don't think anything has changed in the 20 years since this was released.
The UK is tearing itself apart trying to mimic the USA, and the greed is blinding the UK of all morals, and everyone is in it for themselves and the ends justify the means.

That is a good deal of it, but Johnson even father with religion, and not being into the bible that much I know that I am missing his exact points on some things.

He goes for the UK becoming subservent to the US in "Heartland" with "51st state of the USA." He even eludes to the Labor Party I think, he could be said to be daming the Labor Party for abandoning the poor and working class in the Britan. He lements the politics of the nation has come to the base elements as it has in the USA.
