I was just listening to the rainbow Children and some of its lyrics made me start thinking.
For example lines like 'there's a theocratic order' seem to be quite disturbing, as these lyrics appear to display a fundamentalistic religious ideology. Now does this mean that Prince's idea of 'good government'is not democracy (rule of the people), but theocracy (rule of God).
And if this is the case, don't you think that Prince would have been on the US government's blacklist of potential terrorists, would he have been a muslim instead of a christian?

Just some thoughts....

Theocracy would be scary. Especially dictacted by a lolly pop sucking guitar playing Designer outfit wearing insular music genius.

Something about that strikes me as "Im glad he isnt in a position of power"
I think his religious cryptic views do not really hold any water for individual people. That album was like Prince's declaration of a spiritual revolution under JW philosophy.

theocracy

a word first used by Josephus to denote that the Jews were under the direct
government of God himself. The nation was in all things subject to the will of
their invisible King. All the people were the servants of Jehovah, who ruled
over their public and private affairs, communicating to them his will through
the medium of the prophets. They were the subjects of a heavenly, not of an
earthly, king. They were Jehovah's own subjects, ruled directly by him (comp. 1
Sam. 8:6-9).

I think this is what Prince is trying to advance; the notion of Jehovah
ruling instead of men. The word "fundamentalist" has been twisted to mean
"right wing fanatics" as opposed to a strict adherence to the infallibility
of the Bible.
