Yahweh/ Jehovah's true servants have authority from him to warn others of his scriptural judgment and warning messages against anti-scriptural wrongdoing. It is a duty of a true Christian-follower of Christ to follow this command from God too, especially in these last days. (Ezekiel 33:8,9).
That established, my point here is to warn of spiritual hypocrisy.
It is hypocritical to sing to masses of people, "I believe in the Kingdom come"; yet also rip down God's own scriptural truths and requirements regarding his incoming, globe-covering, heaven-based Kingdom government - and promote TRUST in HUMAN institutions and false religions to permanently solve extreme poverty, etc.
So, in other words, so far, "They say they want the Kingdom, but they don't want God in it." [Yes, I agree with you - MANY people have this WRONG outlook! They might lightly review Christ's words about loving one's neighbor on Sundays, but then slap popular "bless our troops" decals on their cars. They SAY they want the Kingdom (of peace on earth) but they DON'T want God in it. They decide to break God's commands when they rationalize that they should - to serve the kingdoms of men, in the name of God. These people support those that go out walking "with a Bible and a gun" - AGAINST God's orders and principles to NOT lift up swords, or even learn war anymore. (Isaiah 2:4; Matthew 26:52; Revelation 13:10)]
There are a lot of churches that still teach that it is at least partly man's responsibility to set up the kingdom of God on earth - that God's Kingdom is to be at least partly achieved through man's political and political-social justice successes, mixed with varying levels and sorts of religiosity (without regard as to whether they're even scriptural or not).
The truth is that God isn't going to "go into" manmade kingdoms and work as some cog within the corrupt political and spiritual machinery of Satan's world system.
No, not at all. It is the other way around. Those who want to be part of a just and peaceful earth here need to submit themselves now to God-rule: People need to change to become obedient citizens of God's Kingdom. It has been established in the heavens. It's rule is "invisible" to most humans, but not to those loyal to it. After Armageddon, when God's heavenly (only) army finally "crushes" all of the manmade kingdoms (Daniel 2:44); God's own Kingdom will completely encompass the world, making it a thriving paradise for all its inhabitants.

Re: This "Wanderer" song does have a very problematic part in it, though. It speaks of how a man went "wandering", "in search of experience"...to do as much as he could...."before a man repents." That's a seriously anti-scriptural, bad idea.
That is NOT what God had in mind when he provided his own Son's blood, with pain, to cover over the sins of men - for them to see just how much they could sin so as to use more of that blood, so to say! God says such an attitude "outrages the spirit of UNDESERVED kindness with contempt." It TRAMPLES on the value of Jesus' sacrifice. God does NOT appreciate "testing" games being played or taught regarding him or the provision of his Son's life - NO ONE BELONGS ESTEEMING THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST AS OF "ORDINARY VALUE" this way - presuming upon it - abusing this offer. At some point, God judges those who do so as "sinning against the holy spirit" - and by his justice, there is no longer any sacrifice left to cover for them. (Hebrews 10:26-31)
