This song to me describes the weakness in people. They are 'forced' to give into their desires. In my opinion Tom Smith writes with a wry sense of humor as he asks what's more important to you...good or bad...but the answer for most people is clearly, that whatever they desire will 'force' them to decide their actions. They will give up everything, even God, for it. I think 'taken by force' is part of his way of mocking these people. They just can't help themselves, the will of their desire is just too strong.
