You're the fuel to the fire You're the weapons of war
You're the irony of justice And the father of law
I've been waiting for a while to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?
Angst...
You're the champion of sorrow You're the love and the pain
You're the fighter of evil Yet you're one and the same
I've been waiting for a while to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?
Angst..
You're the irony of justice And the father of law
I've been waiting for a while to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?
Angst...
You're the champion of sorrow You're the love and the pain
You're the fighter of evil Yet you're one and the same
I've been waiting for a while to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust?
Angst..

That which is truly evil often has the awe inspiring charisma to compel others to do wrong even when their own moral judgment may argue with this. Furthermore, this power is often able to convince others that they will be safer disregarding their own morals in favor of committing sins against humanity, hence the 'Who will be my judge and which one do I trust.' 'I've been waiting for a while to meet you, for a chance to shake your hand, to give you thanks for all the suffering you command' expresses an aire of admiration, even gratitude sarcastic or otherwise, going out on a limb beyond mere courtesy and sympathy for the one responsible for everything in our world.
Governments, institutions, organized religion all provide a spring board for evil to exert itself in this world, Mick Jagger warns us of the same. This song though is still a testament to Weiland on his part for being able to redeliver a fresh interpretation from his internal understanding of a classic.
Interesting title, by the way, "Naked Sunday". Mass is on Sunday. We were created naked, but when Adam/Eve betrayed God they were shamed by this nakedness. It's possible Scott was questioning religion at the time he wrote the song, but a lot has changed in his life since then
kinda annoying... this song is so good i wish theyd stop using the siren
i know this bc i heard him at a show in march say himself: " i would like to thank god for helping me stay clean for 9 months"
This is America people can believe whatever the hell they want. The problem is everyone has to have everyone believe what they do. That's the basis of everything from wars to stupid ass arguements like you guys are having here.
That's what Scott's lyrics are really trying to tell you. Just enjoy the killer bass line and great guitar the Deleo brothers laid down and shut your mouths about religion.
