Iraq & Iran Parody of "Jack & Diane" performed and written by John Cougar Mellencamp (Daniel 2:36-45, 4:17, 5:18-31, 7:17-27, 8:19-26, 11:1-45; Rev. 11:15) Little ditty 'bout Iraq & Iran Two very ancient kingdoms growin' up near the Holy Land Iraq it used to be a superpower Known as Babylon, that's the scene of that big tower Babylon was really strong but over time would taste defeat Iran sittin' on the Iraqis' map They had the Persians and the Medes Iraqis they hated Iran but they were cut off in 539 B.C. Babylon had fallen but what would Persia do about Greece Say, uh Oh, yeah, life goes on Long after the threats of little nations Oh, yeah, life goes on Long after the best of civilizations Are all gone After this happened, the Greeks would fall to the Romans Back in a hundred and forty-six B.C. Well, then those Romans, they had a run of sitting pretty That ended, badly, in the 5th Century And as we said now CHORUS So when they talk about control Look at Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome No longer sitting as strong as they can Change can come around real soon, make us little again CHORUS Little ditty 'bout Iraq & Iran You American kids do your best to understand Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
