P.F. Sloan & Steve Barri

J's Journal:
He's the international man of mystery. Mystery Babylon, that is. Call him the Beast, the Antichrist, the Man of Lawlessness -- in this parody, we simply call him the Revelation Man, based on his most famous appearances, in the Book of Revelation. For more information, start reading in Revelation chapter 13. This song was our official soundcheck song for many years, mainly because it's so easy on the vocal cords.

Revelation Man
Parody of "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers
(Revelation 13:18)

There's a man who seems just like a savior
With everyone he meets he gains their favor
With every move he makes, another hand he shakes
Odds are he won't give you peace tomorrow
Revelation man, Revelation man
He's givin' you a number and takin' away your faith
It's there in Revelation that you find
A pretty beast who has an evil mind
He led the world astray; they'll give their souls away
All that he will give is grief and sorrow
CHORUS
Bringin' all the world together one day
Then claiming that he's God almighty next day
Ah, but you fell for all his tricks by listening to 666
God's not who he is you'll see tomorrow
