Cover art for Time Bomb lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

If martians fell from the sky What would that do to God? Would we put the weapon down Or aim it up at the sky?

Best part of any song on the entire album.

As for Dave showing his Christian side and all that, I really doubt it.

"The idea that we’re somehow centrally important to the planet’s existence is pretty comical — although I’d like us to be. I’d like to think that the yes of some heavenly body are watching us and saying, ‘Oh, look at my beautiful children.’ But it’s absurd. It’s just our attempt to be more important than a tree.

I use the word "God" in my songs all the time, because I don’t know what the hell is going on. So that’s God — everything I don’t know. But the idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we’re doing or takes sides when we have fights — it’s more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there’s not a puppet master."

-Dave

I like nspredator55's thoughts of overcoming depression. Much deeper than saying he just wants to start believing in God.
