Story behind the song
Just a little tribute to many influences and a rant about the world.
Lyrics
I've seen my God reduced to kitsch And no one's blood has boiled I've seen the poor turned against the rich By those who keep them poor I've seen adults find the Boogie Man As plant food in the sky I've seen a self-made world conceived In so-called skeptics' minds Someone crossed the wires And now everyone's on fire And not in that good evangelical way Someone flipped the globe And we're smothered by the snow Yeah, we can't feel hot or cold But we still love to play Like a reed blown in the wind Or the dross thrown in the fire Or the arrogance of autonomy Disarray is all the rage Now the prurient-est page Steals the public interest away I've seen young boys who can't get hard Without a hard drive's help I've seen young girls convinced that love Means kiss and show and tell You gave to him your inmost parts And he gave you the shaft Now your body's on the Internet To explain to Mom and Dad Someone crossed the wires And now everyone's on fire And not in that good evangelical way Someone flipped the globe And we're smothered by the snow Yeah, we can't feel hot and cold But we still love to play Someone cut the wires And now nobody's on fire In that blessed, old-time feel-good evangelical way Yeah, we pay the rent But now everyone's content To leave little Baby Jesus Asleep on the hay
