I hear something much different which makes a little more sense in my opinion your days are now gone we're moving too slow i can't feel the days you're melting away the days that are gone have moven too slow I can't feel the days you're melting away |

| Joanna Newsom – The Book of Right-On Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I interpret this song as a satirical approach to religious bigots in society. She parodies the supposed moral principles of bigoted religious people and their unwavering self-proclaimed validity and correctness while alluding to the bible, 'We should shine a light on/ A light on/ And the book of right-on's right on’ Again she seems to parody religious bigots’ self-proclaimed martyrdom; that they bear the weight of all humanity on their backs and are left with the hard work, professing and acting in accordance to the word of god. The bigotry is apparent with the lines ‘Do you want to run with my pack?/ Do you want to ride on my back?/ Pray that what you lack does not distract’ Do you want to associate yourself with me and my family? In that case, pray that your lack of faith and morality does not alienate you. ‘And even when you run through my mind/ Something else is in front, oh, you're behind’ And even when I think of you, you are never first. God is before everything. | |
