I’m a fan of this one…a big fan. This guy brought revolutionary to a new level.

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head’s been wet with the midnight dew
I’ve been down on bended knee talkin’ to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel’s feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, “John go do My will!”

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin’ in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What’s done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut you down
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut you down
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut you down

5 points to the first person who can correctly identify this revolutionary (without googling the lyrics, you cheating bastards.)

revolutionaries, vol 1

So, ah, here’s my deal. I’ve been busy.

Now, I’m not talking “mildly occupied”, I’m talking “holy-crap-balls-Lucy-I’ve-fallen-asleep-doing-reading-for-
class-every-night-for-the-past-three-weeks busy”.

Anyway, because I’ve been busy, and for whatever reasons, some of you have been ever so kind enough to keep popping by, I’ve decided that I’d do a series of low-work (for me) and high bang for your buck (for you, given that you can read here for free) posts on revolutionaries of the web. I’ll try to pick out some quotes from web-revolutionaries of the faith that are making their voices known. That’ll make me feel a little better about taking the more reclusive posture I’ve been taking, and it’ll give those of you who waste your time here feel like you have something to read.

So, here’s the first revolutionary tale from a 40-something gentleman. Whether he’s a person of any faith or no faith I don’t know. Frankly, it doesn’t much matter. His message, a destinction between Christians and christians is, I think a helpful one:

Christians– those people on TV and in government who are always judging and condescending (see also Idiots & Pussies). Not to be confused with christians (lower case ‘c’) who are feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, clothing the poor, consoling the heartbroken, standing up to the Man in support of the People. You find Christians on TV and in public office calling us to assasinate the president of Venezuela or kill innocent Arabs; you find christians in the poorest areas of your city handing out food and clothing and along the US/Mexico border handing out water.

Food for thought.
