This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Good God
I've got your demon seed
Deep down inside of me
Two skins
One man
Fit in
One hand
God damn
That man
And everything created by him
Ask why
So high
Answer
Young die
Call scam
His hand
And everything created by them
I'm your man
By your hand
I'm your man
So look on,
I've got your demon seed
Deep down inside of me
So thin
Is this plan
Written in
Your hand
Watch me fall
My friend
As the bottom drops from beneath me
I'm your man
By your plan
I'm your riotous sin
So look on,
I've got your demon seed
Deep down inside of me
So look on, Fool of a golden deed
Deep down inside of me
So look on, look on
Can you tell me more
Have you ever been down this far before
Can you tell me more
Have you ever been down:
I'm two skins
I'm one man
I fit in
One hand
God damn
That hand
And everything created within it
I've got your demon seed
Deep down inside of me
Two skins
One man
Fit in
One hand
God damn
That man
And everything created by him
Ask why
So high
Answer
Young die
Call scam
His hand
And everything created by them
I'm your man
By your hand
I'm your man
So look on,
I've got your demon seed
Deep down inside of me
So thin
Is this plan
Written in
Your hand
Watch me fall
My friend
As the bottom drops from beneath me
I'm your man
By your plan
I'm your riotous sin
So look on,
I've got your demon seed
Deep down inside of me
So look on, Fool of a golden deed
Deep down inside of me
So look on, look on
Can you tell me more
Have you ever been down this far before
Can you tell me more
Have you ever been down:
I'm two skins
I'm one man
I fit in
One hand
God damn
That hand
And everything created within it

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

"Good God I've got your demon seed Deep down inside of me Two skins one man " = a good man with an evil side
"Fit in One hand" = the man is nothing compared to the bigger picture of the plan.
"God damn That man And everything created by him" = he is spiteful towards god for making every thing and allowing evil with in it
"Ask why So high" = he asks god because god is the high man on totome pole (boss aka GOD)
"Answer Young die Call scam His hand And everything created by them" = aks for answers like why the young die and thinks every thing created and the way every thing is a scam (FAKE)
"I'm your man By your hand I'm your man"= i am the man you made
"So look on, I've got your demon seed Deep down inside of me"= dont judge me i am what you made me
"So thin Is this plan Written in Your hand Watch me fall My friend As the bottom drops from beneath me" = he thinks gods plan is not good enough as god is just watching when bad things happen
"I'm your man By your plan I'm your riotous sin"= as god knows everything he basicaly saying im the man you made and you know how i would turn out i am perfect with sin that you made with in me
"So look on, I've got your demon seed Deep down inside of me So look on,"= i have the sin you allowed in me so dont judge
"Fool of a golden deed Deep down inside of me So look on, look on" = dont judge me becuase im a foolish man for doing good deeds in a world of evil
"Can you tell me more Have you ever been down this far before Can you tell me more Have you ever been down"= he asking god if he has ever sinned and if he has ever felt the hurt, pain and guilt of being human
"I'm two skins I'm one man I fit in One hand God damn That hand And everything created within it"= a man of good and evil that to the big picture is tiny and nothing and he is spiteful towards god for making everything the way its is
Seems to be about a demon, or maybe an evil man, cursing the god that created him and everything else, and placing the responsibility for his evil nature on his creator. Which could make sense, since a number of religions place the concept of predestination above the concept of free will, in which case the Big Guy In Charge would be to blame for everyone and everything evil.
There should be an "edit comment" button so i can respell "devil"
I think this song is about the duality (two skins) of human nature. He knows he has the propensity to do evil (demon seed) yet he can choose which side to feed.
WEll, though pretty much the whole album is about God, I think this one is about the decil. Think about it. He says "God damn that man" theres no way you could be saying that when talking about God Himself. So its about how he hates the devil and all the sin he made and how he cant get rid of it.
