Lyrics
Jesus and the fiery furnace.
Reference to a biblical story, possibly symbolizing challenges.
Devil and the deep blue sea.
Contrast between difficult choices, akin to being caught between two extremes.
Preacher say I'm gonna burn in hell for all eternity.
Religious condemnation and fear of eternal punishment.
But when I have my judgement day and I lock eyes with my savior, well,
Anticipation of facing judgment day and encountering the savior.
This is what I'm gonna tell him when he asks about my behavior...

I'm gonna say;
Introduction to the speaker's response.
God was drunk when he made me.

Jesus and the fiery furnace.

Confirmation of the speaker's belief in a whimsical, possibly flawed, Creator.
I forgive Him.
The speaker forgives God for perceived imperfections.
See if it was God who made forgiveness, then before that he musta made sin.
Reflection on the concepts of forgiveness, sin, and divine order.
And who built the house of brotherly love, then let the Devil come dancing in?
Questioning the coexistence of love and the influence of the Devil.
If it was God that saved the miracle child from the peril of the fiery flame,
Recognition of divine intervention and its selective nature.
Well then it musta been him that killed the two hundred others just to glorify
Contemplation on the paradox of sacrificing others to glorify God.
His name
Acknowledgment of the speaker's critical perspective.
That's why I say;
Repetition emphasizing the unconventional belief in a drunken Creator and the resulting heresy.
God was drunk when he made me.
-God was drunk when he made me.
-God was drunk when he made me.
-And that's why I spout heresy.
Declaration that the speaker's heretical views are a consequence of divine influence.
