God Lyrics

I really like andshedied's interpretation. I feel the same way, and I can definitely relate to this song. Being raised in a catholic family, I always found religion very hard to swallow myself. Whenever bad things happen to good people, we often blame God, which is a completely understandable and human thing to do. I like Tori's line: "You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love. 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.

@SpaceyLover11 It seems to me that when good things happen to them, religious people claim that it is because God is on their side, but when bad things happen to them, it it because "God works in mysterious ways" or "God is testing our faith" or something like that.
