Sufjan Stevens – A Good Man Is Hard to Find Lyrics 21 years ago
well sufjan is writing from the misfit's point of view. Even though the grandmother is the main focus in the story, there is some sympathy to be held for the criminal who has abandoned any intentions on living a good life. He wishes to displease god. I don't want to give away anything in the story, so I'll stop.

Sufjan's lyrics reflect the misfit's lost hope, and his wishes to "putting off all peace." He's given up, and is ready for whatever will come of all he has done. I'm unsure what Sufjan means when he says "she was once like me." I'm hoping someone will clarify that.
