From the band’s site:
THE RATCHETS “Holy Mother Of God” is here to prove that all music, even holiday songs, should strive to be political. The song’s rock and roll majesty catches fire with an iconic guitar line against a steady backbeat. Lyrically it wrestles with conflict and togetherness and how anger and blame can entrap both individuals and entire nations. While the turmoil may be familial, geopolitical, or both – The Ratchets pull the thread to retain goodness in a world that seems harsh and full of deceit.
