Cover art for God's Got It lyrics by Black Crowes, The

this song leaves me in a bit of confusion. when the lyrics say "well if its money, God's got it"

makes it seem like its speaking in a sarcastic and mocking perspective.

am i wrong here? i hope i am.

or do the black crowes actually have some Christian themes in their music? i honestly dont know and am wondering if anyone knows for sure.

This is a cover song. The song was originally done in the '70s by a Louisiana preacher named Charlie Jackson. I don't think it was done in a mocking perspective.

Furthermore, the Crowes have several Christian-themed songs. I don't know what religion, if any, that the Robinson brothers follow. I'm an atheist, but I still enjoy the religious-themed songs for their musical quality.

The original version done by Rev. Charlie Jackson was a serious gospel tune.

However, the Crowes' version is indeed meant to be sarcastic. When they played it live, they brought out a custom-made bass drum that had George W. Bush's face on it and proceeded to play it using said drum as a means of protesting Bush.
