Song meaning God Song is a hilarious spoof of the classic poem “And did those feet in ancient time” by the legendary William Blake (which was supposedly written way back in 1804). Let’s compare the first verse, shall we? It goes a little something like this: “And did those feet in ancient time God Song And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England’s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England’s pleasant pastures seen? And did those feet in ancient times Trod on America’s pastures of green? And did that anthropocentric god wane With their thoughts and beliefs all unseen?” Oh boy, did those feet really stomp all over America’s green pastures back in the day? And did that self-centered god lose popularity as people started questioning their thoughts and beliefs? Haha, what a riot!
