Book of Jude desribes how all the churches in the 'end times' will be infiltrated and heavily influenced by phonies and apostates. This song is about some of them I know.

Because of his wide musical background from training and listening, he tends to not stay long with one particular sound, mood, or feel. Arnie creates music meant to evoke deep emotions and strong visual imagery. His lyrics have spiritual overtones, sometimes comforting, but more often, challenging and ominous. He plays trombone, keyboards, sings, and usually talks in the first person, rather than third person tense, as he is doing here. :-) His base of operations is in Torrance, California.

Story behind the song
It's bad enough when counterfeits and phonies exist in politics and music. But it gets really ugly when they pretend to be CHRISTIAN! Quote from book of Jude: Book of Jude: Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed. These men are those who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted. wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.
Lyrics
You take up space You give the human race The name it deserves The name it prefers You’re a big machine Too squeaky to be clean Will someone please pull your plug Take it all away! You think you got what it takes: The look and a skin deep cause You Mindless Matter Where’s your soul In this rock and roll? I’m one of the crowd That’s fed up with the glaze Of generic talk The fast food walk We’re the casualties Too busy to be free No wonder we’re drowning in your mud Take it all away! Your jealous rage Looks toward the other way With that empty glare Moaning that “life’s not fair!” You’re an empty lie Too desperate to say “goodbye” Subterfuge is all you’ll ever be Take it all away! You think you got what it takes: The look and a skin deep cause You Mindless Matter Where’s your soul In this rock and roll? No control You ugly troll - You pathetic soul
