The earth became round when Columbus discovered America. This song is about the native Americans and the world before the ensuing industrial revolution. The laws of nature were true, assuming they survived, everything was free to live and love: everything was war yet everyone would love.
That was soon replaced with war and the modern version of "love" that is so mysterious we have to seek couples counseling.
The sky doesn't know what to do: pollution, climate change.
My favorite part is that God isn't mentioned until the second part, the part where they're explaining how everything is fucked up. I think his exasperation is told as more of a symptom of the problem. We messed the world up, but there's this comforting thought that God and Heaven and a second chance life await us after this one we've destroyed.
