It's so hard to find songs that actually appeal in some significant philosophical way to me.  I'm not above willingly hearing what I want to as far as entertaining music goes in order to make ends meet in a culture that bombards us with trite nonsense.  Just wish what I misheard on the radio had been the actual lyrics.

The chorus to Kevin Rudolf's "Let it Rock" goes:


Instead of what is highlighted, my cognitive biases interpolated, "What they says, for God..."   Meaning, the way people used to conceive of what makes life worth living in a passionate way for God needs to be replaced with a passion for life in a humanistic sense. 

And the song had introduced God earlier in the song:

So it wasn't an implausible interpretation, but it was wrong.  Oh well.  There's a whole bunch of other stuff going on in the song I'm not even going to try to understand, so it's not a significant loss.  But it does remind me how few songs seem to be available in my philosophical genre.

Update:  Saint Gasoline has a very interesting post interpreting the entire song as a fully humanistic anthem.
