If In Money We Trust
In Money We Trust: Unveiling the Spiritual Void in Van Morrison's Reflections
Lyrics
If in money we trust
If placing trust in money
If in money we trust
Reiteration of trusting in money
And you bite the dust
Facing failure or death
And it's not enough
Material wealth is insufficient
If in money you trust
Trust in money, but still insufficient
But it's not enough
Insufficiency despite trusting in money
And you bite the dust
Facing failure or death again
If in money you trust
Continued trust in money despite challenges
Where's God?
Pondering the absence of God
Where's God?
-Where's God?
-Where's God?
-If in money we trust
Repetition of placing trust in money
If in money we trust
-No substitute
Emphasizing that there's no substitute for money
No substitute
-No substitute
-When god is dead
Exploring the idea of God being nonexistent
And it's not enough
Insufficient material wealth after God's absence
Then in money you trust
Turning to money for trust after God's absence
Then they call the bluff
Challenging the authenticity of trusting in money
When god is dead
Reiteration of God's absence and money's insufficiency
And money's not enough
Questioning what to trust when money is inadequate
In what do you trust
Seeking an alternative when trust in something is insufficient
When it's not enough?
Reflecting on inadequacy despite trust in something
Where's God?
Continued contemplation of God's absence
Where's God?
-Where's God?
-Where's God?
-When god is dead
God's absence and insufficient alternatives
And it's not enough
Questioning what can substitute for God
What substitute
Exploring the idea of substitutes in the absence of God
What substitute
-When God is dead
Reiteration of God's absence and insufficiency
And it's not enough
-When God is dead
Continued emphasis on God's absence and insufficiency
And it's not enough
-If in money you trust
Trusting in money, realizing its inadequacy, and facing consequences
If in money you trust
-But it's not enough
-Then you call the bluff
-Where's God?
Repeated questioning of God's whereabouts
Where's God?
-Where's God?
-Where's God?
-No substitute
Stressing that there is no substitute
No substitute
-You've got to think it through again
-You've got to think it through again
Encouraging reconsideration and critical thinking
You've got to think it through again
-You've got to think it through again
-Got to think it through again
Reiteration of the need for careful reconsideration
You got to think it through again
-Got to think it through again
-Got to think it through again
Emphasizing the importance of thorough contemplation
