To each his own,,the lyrics actually tell a tale,,which fits certain folk,,,sad really,due to the fact that no one can buy their way into Heaven...
They do tell a tale, it’s just the kind of psuedo-intellectual tale that is generally a blight on rock and roll. But somehow it all works, in spite of the fact that every part of the song is somewhere between laughable and lame the song is great. Proof that the people who try to formulize creativity are wrong from the start.
