"Rich Girl"

I've had "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oates stuck in my head for a while, and this morning it occurred to me to interpret it through the gospel.

"You're a bitch girl,
and you've gone too far
but you know it don't matter anyway.
You can rely on the old man's money,
you can rely on the old man's money"

Now don't read any of the rest of the lyrics or this will fall apart, but it's all about God's steadfast love and unmerited favor! I am a terrible terrible witch but he will still care and provide for me.
