@dirtydeedz161 Its really simple. I think its just to mix G D and C really.

Wow, a song on youtube where everyone spent time debating the lyrical meaning with tact and respect. This made my day a lot better :)

My goodness this is perfection. Why didn't I know this one?

@SonicPsycho I knew it. But wasn't quit sure. Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one with this interpretation.

@brianrpfaff (Part 2)
The fourth verse is about how God may have done cool stuff in the past, but he doesn't really do anything anymore. Yet people still pray, anyway.
The final line of the song is a pun, changing "don't pray on me," to "don't prey on me.

@brianrpfaff The first verse is about the 1993 Los Angeles riots ("all the king's horses and all the king's men = Rodney King).
The lines "well Hanson did it to Hester" (characters from the Scarlet Letter), "Mark David did it to John (the murder of John Lennon), and "maybe Jack did it to Marilyn, but he did it to South Vietnam" (John F. Kennedy's rumored affair with Marilyn Monroe, and the Vietnam War), are about people screwing each other over.
I'm not entirely certain about the third verse.

anybody here who knows the cords and tunig ?

Brianrpfaff, the first verse is about the riots in Los Angeles in 1992. Rodney King (all the king's horses and all the king's men had a riot for two days and nights)
The second verse touches on the subject of people destroying other people (Mark David did it to John) He was the one who shot John Lennon. The third verse is about a woman's right to abortion and the fourth is about religion and it's futility in modern society.

what is this song about ?
Beautifull. Rivals the original which is amazing in it's own right.
