Peter said to Paul "All those words that we wrote Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go" Peter is the Rock of the Church, a disciple of Christ, and the author of a book in the Bible. St. Paul is the author of many books in the Bible. The rules Ritter talks about is the Bible. Ritter says the Bible's rules are easily ignored. But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun-- Laurel and Hardy were a old-time, silent comedy team. Laurel would always end up hurting Hardy and be unaware of the mistakes. Ritter means we pray for God to grant us gifts such as wisdom, (think Adam eating from the tree of knowledge) but really when end up destroying ourselves and our relationship with God. I gotta girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done- I think the war is the moral struggle existing in life. We are all responsible for the war. I think the girl represents innocence and the everyman. Paul said to Petey "You gotta rock yourself a little harder; --Jesus proclaimed Peter to be the Rock or foundation of the Catholic Church. Ritter may be saying we need more of a foundation. Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire" --the Dove is the Holy Spirit as we find in the baptism of Christ. So, pretend the Holy Spirit is demanding you to act. And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through --- Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom-- God gave Peter the keys to the heaven. Apparently the way to heaven is known now only in heaven. (Possibly it is that) We have forgotten how to live righteously. And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them-- we on Earth no longer know the holiness and beauty which exist in heaven And I gotta girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell---- He's preaching to the one's causing the strife and hardships on Earth. They should help this girl. If they can't find a way to help, they can go to Hell --- Ritter does not think those who hear the call of righteousness yet refuse should find salvation. If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell same Paul to Petey "you gotta rock yourself a little harder; Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire" But I gotta girl in the war, Paul her eyes are like champagne--not only is she innocent but filled with wonder They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain---the wonder eventually leads to apathy or despression because the world or "war" Sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain They sparkle, bubble over, in the morning all you got is rain |
