Cover art for Oh My Lord lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

I love this damn song. I think this is pretty much about those times in your life when you realize you're hanging around people you don't care about, doing things that lack substance, and wondering where the joy/point of living is. this is the breakdown from all those realizations. and from the song title, it's also asking god why he let your life go to shit, I guess.
