Don Henley's lyrics always impress me. In the song "Frail grasp of the big picture" from their latest double CD, the following lyrics really hit home with me, especially this part:
And we pray to our Lord
Who we know is American
He reigns from on high
He speaks to us through middlemen
And He shepherds His flock
We sing out and we praise His name
He supports us in war
He presides over football games
And the right will prevail
All our troubles shall be resolved
We hold faith above all
Unless there's money or sex involved
