Switchfoot and Politicians

Two hotly anticipated near-future events. Switchfoot concert this Saturday and national election sometime in March, probably.

Switchfoot has a song titled "Politicians" and I really like the message in it. Especially the chorus which starts:

I pledge allegience to a country

Without borders, without politicians

Watching for my sky to get torn apart

Yeah, a world limitless, without politics. And the cry of the ancient prophet for our sky to be ripped apart, for Him to show up against the enemies (Isa 64:1).

I've also come to appreciate the second part:

We are broken, we are bitter

We're the problem, we're the politicians

Watching for our sky to get torn apart

C'mon and break me

C'mon and break me

Yeah, we're the problem....we're the enemy! All of us, unfinished works in progress. Need much shaping and reshaping. And breaking, when necessary.

Wonder if Switchfoot is singing "Politicians" this Saturday?
