Those are the lyrics to the Oasis song "Falling Down." While I'm not a music buff, I do love music deeply and something about these lyrics nailed it for me, both as an atheist and as someone critical of the way things are happening in the west these days. Ironically, the first time I heard this song was as a theme tune for a new anime series out of Japan called "Eden of the East." It's about random individuals being tasked with creating a new Japan out of a stagnating/decaying one. It's really fun and thought provoking. In a sense, it's almost like the lyrics to "Falling Down" present the problem that the "Eden" series attempts to solve. How would you save the west? How would you be our messiah (as the series calls it)? Check out the official "Eden of the East" website (it's in Japanese): http://juiz.jp
