-Guy goes into debt (sold my sold way down in the dirt)
-Claimed bankruptcy to shed the debt obligations but now has a long time to live with a bad "name" in the financial world (stole it back and forever in debt)
-Doesn't mind what's going on but often gets letter in the mail, phone calls from collection agencies, maybe a little IRS trouble (and for a moment I don't even care until I feel his breath on my neck)
-Many people are in debt these days from mortgages being upside down, student loan debt, credit card debt, hospitalization debt, etc. (And maybe even you can feel it too, he's on a strike and looking at you)
-He's seeing the true colors of people everywhere he turns, as more and more people succumb to financial ruin, and people are turning crazy (Holding onto his words, but baby, I saw an Angel become the Devil)
-But he's trying to outsmart the whole system, removing himself from it as much as he can and seeing it from the outside (Still they look pretty good hand in hand, well baby I don't need any of them, Heaven nor Hell)
-He equates evil and the Devil with the nature of the working environment, how it sometimes pits people against one another for the promotion of one's self and the ravenous consumption of resources. And how fitting that it was "invoked on a Monday on Earth and how the Devil carries a business card. (Well, I've heard that the morning star of a prince was invoked on a Monday on earth, I found his business card in the mud)
The remaining lyrics are kind of self-explanatory now that I've stated my interpretation:
-He's saying the combined evil of the financial rat-race world dwarfs the love/compassion/hope/potential of a single person or family.
(Evil came down on earth
And it beholds more than you love
More than you love)
-He's asking whatever angels in Heaven can hear him to not even bother with this place, because it is hopelessly corrupt. Ordinary people are starting to lose hope, and it's about to get real, real ugly down here.
Heaven don't fall on earth
What you behold is no longer a word
No longer a word
