This definitely seems to be about people who believe god is responsible for everything that happens and life is destiny over choice. True believers always say they leave their life in god’s hands, and justify misery in the world as “part of god’s plan” instead of wanting to do something about it. This song definitely could have fit in on The Holy Bible since so much of the world’s evil is done in the name of some kind of god, which somehow makes it okay. And unfortunately, with the war on terror, this sentiment sounds incredibly fresh even though it was written in 1994. Some things never change. But just think about how great Richey's songs about the post-9/11 world would have been. It's something Nicky doesn't touch on nearly enough.
