Read these lyrics and tell me what they remind you of.
How can this be? Why is he the chosen one? Saint gone astray With a scepter and a gun Learn to believe In the might and the strong Come bleed the beast Follow me it won't be long Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Straight is the path Leading to your salvation Slaying the weak Ethnic elimination Any day we'll all be Swept away You'll be saved As long as you obey Lies Tools of the devil inside Written in Holy disguise Meant to deceive and divide Us all Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Blurring the lines Between virtue and sin They can't tell Where God ends And mankind begins They know no other Life but this From the cradle They are claimed Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Hundreds of believers Lured into a doomsday cult All would perish In the name of God Self-proclaimed messiah Led his servants To their death Eighty murdered In the name of God Forty sons and daughters Un-consenting plural wives Perversions In the name of God Underground religion Turning toward The mainstream light Blind devotion In the name of God Justifying violence Citing from the Holy Book Teaching hatred In the name of God Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Religious beliefs Fanatic obsession Does following faith Lead us to violence? Unyielding crusade Divine revelation Does following faith Lead us to violence? Dream THeater, Train of Thought, 2003

4. Maybe my memory doesn't serve me correctly
but the song reminds me of Cats in the Cradle. You're saying Croce didn't sing this?

It was a Harry Chapin song. But they were both fine singers/songwriters.

6. Yup, both great singer/songwriters, but with very distinct styles
and very different types of imagery in their songs. Croce wasn't too big on horns, violins and such in his tunes :)
