An emo song about The Great Disappointment, when people in 1844 thought Jesus was coming back and he totally bailed. • From the album The American Songbook: Redacted • on bandcamp: https://robprocks.bandcamp.com/album/... • on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/0gx9Ma... • on Apple Music: / the-american-songbook-redacted • on Rob's website: https://robprocks.com/release/the-ame... • Lyrics: • Spoken: • Bible scholar William Miller convinced thousands that the End Times were upon us and his followers believed Christ’s second coming would happen in 1844. • It didn’t. • And the true believers were so distraught that people called it The Great Disappointment. Which is just so emo! • Since you said you’re coming back • We’ve kept faith and we’ve kept track • You left clues to when you’d come • But they’re so vague and we feel dumb • Please hurry with your earthly reign • ’Cause solving all these riddles hurts my brain • You sent signs, and we waited • On the day that we calculated • We’re here, where are you? • What the hell are we supposed to do • anymore, after 1844? • We tried to figure out your path • We read your books and did the math • Counting up from ancient days • We showed our work so many ways • I really hope the time is near • ’Cause I did not plant any crops this year • We’re here and we’re ready • We can’t wait for the Armageddy • It’s time to return • So this stupid world won’t be our concern • anymore, after 1844 • The Great Disappointment • God skipped his appointment • He bailed and we’re bumming • ’Cause there was no second coming • Let’s just say we were right • And something happened out of our sight • So as long as we’re alive • We’ll say the day will soon arrive • Spoken: • So the Millerites said they had the day right, but instead of the Second Coming something invisible happened in the spirit world to set it up. And it's still gonna happen. Any day. • We’re here, we’re not moving • When you believe there’s just no disproving • We’ll set dates if you dare us • And when we’re wrong we won’t be embarrassed • anymore, after 1844 • 1844 • 1844
