God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
I gotta find, find, find what you're doing about things here
A few witches burning gets a little toasty here
I gotta find,find,find why you always go when the wind blows
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your nine iron in the back seat just in case
Heard you've gone south well babe you love your new four wheel
I gotta find,find,find why you always go when the wind blows
(Give not thy strength unto women nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings)
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
I gotta find, find, find what you're doing about things here
A few witches burning gets a little toasty here
I gotta find,find,find why you always go when the wind blows
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your nine iron in the back seat just in case
Heard you've gone south well babe you love your new four wheel
I gotta find,find,find why you always go when the wind blows
(Give not thy strength unto women nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings)
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

The first part is Tori angry at God for the misogyny of mainstream Christianity. She's defiant and angry. The second part ("why you always go when the wind blows?") is her revealing that there's more to it than just anger- she doesn't believe in God, but she sort of wishes she does, and it's upsetting to her that she doesn't see much evidence of it. The loud instruments cut out right when she says that bit, which indicates that she's showing her more personal thoughts beneath the bluster.
I don't believe in the supernatural, but that doesn't prevent me from being annoyed by the kind of things that religious people either promote (the right-wing ones) or just pretend isn't there (the relatively moderate ones).
The God character in the Bible has always struck me as a real jerk. People like to pretend that Jesus (either the character or the historical person) was an unquestionably wonderful guy, but the character depicted in the gospels reminds me of modern cult leaders (except for his insistence on a simple, non-materialistic lifestyle). People who claim to be prophets (which is all that he actually claimed — he did not claim to be a god (or the son of god, or the Messiah, or whatever) are usually rather narcissistic..."God talks to ME, and only I know what he wants us to do, so the only Godly people are MY followers." That sort of thing.
Simple. Means where is God when things get hard to deal with?
I gotta find what you're doing about things here", because God makes nature beautiful, but what about(as andshedied said)murder, rape, and abuse that people endure every single day? I think it's a terrific song that most everyone can relate to.
