Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
[Chorus]
It's all right to have faith in God
But when you bend to their rules and their fucking lies
That's when I start to have pity on you
You're living on a mound of dirt
But you can't explain your reason for existence
So you blame it on God
So much hatred in this world and you can't decide
Who's pulling the strings
So you figure it's God
Your whole life foreshadows death
And you finally realize you don't want to die alone
So you'll always have God
[Chorus: x2]
There's people in the world today
Who say they're Jewish, Christian, and such
They're all ignorant fools
They'll tell you you can't have your own way
Unless you pay money and dedicate your life
Or you'll be damned in Hell
Don't be feeble like all of them
You have your own brain full of thoughts and choices
So use it; don't let them use you
[Chorus]
It's all right to have faith in God
But when you bend to their rules and their fucking lies
That's when I start to have pity on you
You're living on a mound of dirt
But you can't explain your reason for existence
So you blame it on God
So much hatred in this world and you can't decide
Who's pulling the strings
So you figure it's God
Your whole life foreshadows death
And you finally realize you don't want to die alone
So you'll always have God
[Chorus: x2]
There's people in the world today
Who say they're Jewish, Christian, and such
They're all ignorant fools
They'll tell you you can't have your own way
Unless you pay money and dedicate your life
Or you'll be damned in Hell
Don't be feeble like all of them
You have your own brain full of thoughts and choices
So use it; don't let them use you
[Chorus]

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
i agree. : )
