Are you ready Jesus? (A ha) Buddha? (Yeah) Mohammad? (OK)

[Verse]
Bm D
They're 5 miles high as the crow flies
G A
Leavin' vapour trails against a blood red sky
Bm D
Movin' in from the East toward the West
G A Bm D G A
With Baclava helmets over their heads, yes!
[Pre Chorus]
Bm D G A
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming
Bm D G A
Honey you've got another thing coming
Bm D G A
If he ever finds out who's hi-jacked his name
Bm D G A
He'll cut out his heart and turn in his grave
[Chorus]
Bm D Em A
Islam is rising
Bm D Em A
The Christians mobilising
Bm D Em A

[Verse]
Bm D G A
It's war, she cried, It's war, she cried, this is war
Bm D G A
Drop your possessions, all you simple folk
Bm D G A
You will fight them on the beaches in your underclothes
Bm D G A
You will thank the good lord for raising the union jack
Bm D
You watch the ships sail out of harbour
G A
And the bodies come floating back
Bm D
You watch the ships sail out of harbour
G A
And the bodies come floating back
[Pre Chorus]
Bm D G A
But if you think that Jesus Christ is coming

[Verse]
Bm D G A
If the real Jesus Christ were to stand up today
Bm D G A
He'd be gunned down cold by the C.I.A
Bm D G A
Oh, the lights that now burn brightest behind stained glass
Bm D G A
Will cast the darkest shadows upon the human heart
[Pre Chorus]
Bm D Em A
But God didn't build himself that throne
Bm D Em A
God doesn't live in Israel or Rome
Bm D Em A
God doesn't belong to the yankee dollar
Bm D Em A
God doesn't plant the bombs for Hizbollah
Bm D G A
God doesn't even go to church
Bm D G A
And God won't send us down to Allah to burn
Bm D G A
God will remind us what we already know
Bm G G A
That the human race is about to reap what it's sown
[Chorus]
Bm D Em A
Islam is rising
