I love Jenny Lewis, but other than the title track to Acid Tongue, they don't have any of the really good tunes from her, like The Big Guns, Stand Up and so forth. I need to get uploading. |

If I spend all of my money I've got no money left
If I place all of my chips on only one bet
I'm all in
And it's a surefire bet I'm gonna die
So I'm taking up praying on Sunday nights
And it's not that I believe in your almight
But I might as well as insurance or bail
Cause institution's like a big bright lie
And it blinds you into fear and consuming and fight
And you've been in the desert underneath the charging sky
It's just you and God
But what if God's not there?
But his name is on your dollar bill
Which just became cab fare
For the Evangelist, the Communist, the Lefts and the Rights
And the hypocrites and the Jesuits and the blacks and the whites
It's in the belly of the beast
In the Atlanta streets
Or up in Laurel Canyon
The verge of Middle East
Still they're dying on the dark continent
It's been happening long enough to mention it
Have I mentioned my parents are getting back together again
It's been 25 years
Of spreading infection
Somehow we're not affected
So my mom, she brushes her hair
And my dad starts growing Bob Dylan's beard
And I share with my friends a couple of beers
In the Orlando streets
Just because religion and God is mentioned doesn't make it a diatribe against either. Sheesh. Thanks for posting the lyrics. And I agree that to post that this song must mean that she's an atheist or that this song is her hating on religion is completely misguided. |

Like this more each time I hear it. Reminds me of Bright Eyes or Oberst solo.

I don't agree with you, but the ferocity of the responses you've garnered indicates you might be onto something. |

Why are religious fanatics so defensive?? Keep religion in your heart not on your sleeve and you'll be just fine, idiot. |

Hmmmm, this song 3 minutes of hate? I hope you never get a copy of "God Is Not Great" by Christopher Hitchens....you'd probably drop dead from apoplexy. |

no points for the cleverness or tact in which it was put together? i mean if we're gonna generalize, lets do it: you're clearly a right-winged religious fanatic who hates people who disagree with your stupid religious views. there. |

This is what you came away with? More evidence that ones perspective defines ones perception. |

No, those are the Waldo Twins. The Watson Twins were busy attending an in-breeding conference in West VA. |
