This was my jam, many, many moons ago, when I was but a fresh-faced teeny-bopper. This was my favorite group growing up, and I still think it holds up really well. I certainly don’t cringe when I listen to it today – which is more than I think most can say about music from this same time period.
I’m highlighting it today because it really is an anthem, and speaks to why we’re here. The context for the song is obviously religious, but really, I think everyone who is here is going to get something out of it.
And while I realize this isn’t addressing Q directly – but it’s my site, so I’ll publish whatever I want =D.
This song is so HIGH ENERGY and I love it. Let’s take a look at the lyrics:
There ain’t no stopping us now.
I’d like to say that from the outset-
Not up in this business just to get what we can get.
But I bet that-
We gonna bring it to you loud and clear!
How loud do I got to say it before you people start to hear?
I could name a problem-
But I know a solution!
Bring back the revolution!
The revolution comes and we all stand as one
Rises from the darkness and shines like the sun
As the sun gets higher, our church catches fire
Down from our our pride and up from the mire
It’s a dream that I’ve had and I hope it comes true
Oh, I forgot to say the revolution starts with you!
See wisdom and knowledge is one thing that we lack.
You’ve been a Christian how long and you’re still on Similac!
So I call on Martin Luther and all the reformation-
Back then the common people couldn’t read God’s revelation!
You had to be a monk or a priest or read Latin!
That was all before the revolution happened!
But the fire cooled down ever since that generation-
We put down the Bible and picked up the Playstation.
And we can’t defend our faith ’cause we don’t know it.
We say we love His word but pick a funny way to show it.
As the world walks by and we don’t have a thing to say.
I call ’em as I see ’em-
And that’s what I see today!
The Revolution returns!
The Reformation lives on!
The Great Awakening is now!
Sleepers! Open your eyes!
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise!
No compromise, yeah, no compromise!
A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise!
So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise!
A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise!
Our hearts have grown so cold
And we’ve such numb souls!
But shirts and bumper stickers-
Man we got ’em by the truckload
Is true religion what you have around your wrist?
What does the scripture say of this?
They honor me with words
But their hearts are far away!
I call ’em like I see ’em-
And that’s what I see today!
So I call on John Edwards-
Who preached us all awake.
We try to be emotional but here is our mistake-
As a church we lack repentance!
And we lack true affection!
Not only in our minds but in our hearts need correction!
And man that’s true religion, resignation and contrition!
To love each other so much that’d we die before division!
So what about you?
Will you join us?
Will you admit that the waters around you have grown?
You better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone.
Do you stand with us or do we stand alone?
It’s time that we stand up, enlist for war!
I’ve tasted battle and now I want more!
I’ve known the truth and been cut to the core!
But I’m back in the game to even the score!
And I mean to go out with both my guns blazing!
Amazed at a God who’s truly amazing!
To triumph in battle as the spirit enables!
Can’t turn back the clock but we can turn the tables!
The Revolution returns!
The Reformation lives on!
The Great Awakening is now!
Sleepers! Open your eyes!
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise!
No compromise, yeah, no compromise!
A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise!
So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise!
A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise!
I’ve been listening to the track all day, on repeat. Hope it brought your day up to a new level!

That song sure fits today
THE ENERGY RISES! Thanks for the post NEQN!

But wanted to point out:
You were conceived and born for THIS time and to SERVE GOD and help fellow man,
(He has been gathering Serious Warriors a dozen years or more.)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
(I know tain’t easy. Prayers!!)
Wow. I use to listen to OC Supertones too. Those lyrics could have been written now by anyone taking part in The Great Awakening. Awesome.
HOLY SHIT!!!!
I played a show with them when I was in a ska band back in high school! lolol
NJ Ska scene fo lyfe.
Thank you for that, made mah day 🙂
One.
Step.
Beyoooooooond.
The black eyed peas have a song out now that delivers a similar message.
So I call on Martin Luther and all the reformation-
Back then the common people couldn’t read God’s revelation!
You had to be a monk or a priest or read Latin!
That was all before the revolution happened!
Sorry but this is a misconception. Bibles were locked on chains before the invention of the printing press. It was very costly and time-consuming to find a scribed bible. Most people were illiterate which is why they relied on the educated priest to teach scripture. That continued after the protestant reformation.
The first printed Bible was the Gutenburg Bible. Prior to that a Bible was worth 3 years wages. The same situation existed for texts books as well.
Wow, this song is from 18-years ago but could have been written 18-minutes ago.
“The Great Awakening is now!
Sleepers! Open your eyes!
A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise!”
Wow! Makes this 69-year-old feel so out of touch. But, I read the lyrics and liked them a lot. Had a hard time with what appeared to be praise of John Edwards, assuming we’re talking about the politician. He turned out to be a bigger hypocrite than Newt Gingrich. But future proves past, huh? Thanks for posting, Neon!
No, John Edwards, the Preacher.
They mean either Jonathan Edwards or John Owens, both Reformationists.
I suggest reading either or both. You can find their works online for free.

Awesome !!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Will be sharing with my Prayer Group tonight.
Love your site, recommend it all the time.
Q says NWO not New or Nazi, could it be Nordic World Order?
Sorry, my comment completely off topic, was re-reading all q drops.
Thanks for sharing! Great lyrics and crazy how fitting it is now. A song that gives me chills at times is ONE TRIBE by Black Eyed Peas. Just sharing back. ☀️
It’s a MAD MAD world. The Orange County Supertones?!?! are you freaking kidding me??? If I loved you before, I’m over the moon now. It’s like a secret club all up in here.
SUPERTONES STRIKE BACK LIKE LEIA’S FATHER
YOU HIT, WE HIT BACK HARDER
way back in 2000 lmao.
Supertones!!! Seen them a few times in So Cal back in the day. Still have the Supertones Strike Back CD and just threw it into the CD changer!
I love it ! I heard Cat Stevens singing peace train and thought after listening closely to the lyrics we can replace peace with Q or Trump and it really works #Q/Trump Train ! All Aboard !
I still rock out to The OC Supertones. My kids love them too. Here’s a few more lyrics from their song Unite.
“Never going back the the darkness I was damned in
Now I turn my back on the place that I was found in
Flick a match on Babylon, burn baby burn
Raised my mind for all this time and now it’s your turn
Got enough gasoline and plenty ol’ matches
Finally I’m free and I shake off the ashes
From the city of refuse, I refuse to pay dues
To you, not me, and none of the free and the few
Unite, ignite and spark a light to burn so bright
The sight will blind the blind of this our modern time”
WOW, Love the lyrics there’s so much Truth in them, great for rallying the troops because you better believe this is a last days WAR between the dark and the LIGHT! I was glad to hear that you wanted to do this on a more full time basis…so keep burning that NEON light brightly so the people can see the truth!!! Here’s another song, video on YouTube I think you and your followers might like it’s, That’s My King Rock Mix
That was great, thAanks Neon.
We used to belong to Mission Hills on Alicia Pkwy in MV. My boys loved the Supertones and MXPX. Love your website!
