Pedro the Lion – The Devil Is Beating His Wife Lyrics 18 years ago
It's the metaphor of the burning car that gets me:

A car's on fire in the parking lot
And nobody wants it to rain
But God isn't listening
So all the windshields glisten

The water and oil mix
Causing the fire to spread
To five or six
Innocent automobiles
Waiting in the nearby spots

Oh, what a cruel God we've got

...that all of our actions have an effect on others, for the man in the song, he ditched his child and the listener questions what effect that will have on the toddler's life. On a greater plane, though, it reminds us that all of our choices have an impact on many, many other people. This is my favorite song on this album. It holds deep sentimental value for me.
