Whenever I played that song live I introduced it as a song about a rampant social disease that's especially wide-spread in the part of the world we're living in. You just don't get rich and famous with that sort of stuff...
Although I may not have been in the brightest phase of my life during the time I wrote this song, I always figured it was the Lord speaking in it, since He definitely manages to blow our minds with His whispers, more than all the world's rah-rah ever could.
