If any of you listen to the WFMU radio show Seven Second Delay (And you should), you may have scene the very hilarious episode that John Darnielle was a guest on. He sang this song and introduced it as being about the struggle of being a non-Christian making your way through a very Christian oriented world.
Exact quote:
John: "It's about trying to make your way with a different sort of belief system in a world--"
Ken of SSD (Drunk): Yeah, kinda like Ravi Shankar...
John: Kinda like Ravi Shankar, yes. It's about trying to make your way in a world that's kinda been overrun by Christians and Megachurches.
