Contemplating moozik again

Even though my dad wouldn't agree, I find U2's Zooropa to be a righteously righteous album. Even though the techno/pop sound of the album strays off the track of their typical, Joshua Tree-esque style, there are some darned cool songs on it. And one that is downright creepy. I speak of Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car, whose lyrics are below:

You're a precious stone - you're out on your own
You know everyone in the world, but you feel alone
Daddy won't let you weep - daddy won't let you ache
Daddy gives you as much as you can take
A-ha, sha-la - A-ha, sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
A little uptight - you're a baby's fist
Butterfly kisses up and down your wrist
When you see daddy coming you're licking your lip
Nails bitten down to the quick
A-ha, sha-la - A-ha, sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

You've got a head full of traffic - you're a siren's song
You cry for mama, and daddy's right along
he gives you the keys to a flaming car
Daddy's with you wherever you are
Daddy's a comfort - daddy's your best friend
Daddy'll hold your hand right up to the end
A-ha, sha-la - A-ha, sha-la
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car
Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car

Now, you can only get a taste of what the song is about from the lyrics, for, as we know, there is also the music to consider. Some of the blokes on SongMeanings.net--a cool site if ever there was one, even if it is cripplingly slow--speculated that the song was about God, taking a battered, broken soul in for redemption. It makes me wonder if the people who said that have actually heard the song, as the music is far too sinister sounding for that to be true. As one user on SongMeanings said:

There is no way this song is about God. Read the lyrics. Does this sound like any God you know?

This song is about the DEVIL. This is the evilest song on Zooropa. It comes right after Stay for a reason. When you are down on your luck and depressed, who's there to comfort you? Satan. This is definitely what the song is about. I read that when Bono performed this song on tour, he always wore his MacPhisto getup.

Read C.S. Lewis' 'The Screwtape Letters'.

This is my take on the song, as well. Of course, that is, probably, the meaning of the song as Bono intended it, and a rather general one. I've been thinking, though:
Is there a "Daddy" that is physically present in today's world? Sure, there are lots, but I'm thinking of one in particular. Who is it that takes in the poor, tired souls who have lost their innocence and are wondering what to do, takes them in with the lie that they do care and that they can make it better, when their real intentions are far different? Hmmm...
Couldn't possibly be these guys, could it?
