This song is so chilling. The line "Jesus weeps, but he's been paid" is so sacreligious that it just creeps me out. At first I thought this was a literal song about a trip through the deep South.

I love the imagery. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a real account or a big metaphor of doing something terribly wrong.
