Popped up this morning just a little off center
God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do
Looking back, looking over my shoulder
Still agnostic, every day it gets older
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do
Holy books, so many flaws no answers
Believe in him, or fear him like a cancer
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do
Bible banging, slanging Jesus at my door
Hey son, this is something you can't afford
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided
(Chorus)
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Popped up this morning like nipples in the winter
God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do.
After life, after death uncertain
Choose your side before they're dropping the curtain
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do.
Where do I go for my inspiration
Go with the flow, with the standing ovation
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do.
Standing idle, waiting for doomsday
Damned if you do, damned if you don't say
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided.
Oh, Give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me...
Learned my lesson from history
I'm not claiming to be Jesus Christ and company
I am needy, I'm a thief
I'm not claiming to have role model qualities
But here's a lesson,
Simplicity
From a poor boy who don't believe in destiny
Be good to one another, set yourself free
All the pieces they fall together.
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me...
God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do
Looking back, looking over my shoulder
Still agnostic, every day it gets older
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do
Holy books, so many flaws no answers
Believe in him, or fear him like a cancer
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do
Bible banging, slanging Jesus at my door
Hey son, this is something you can't afford
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided
(Chorus)
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Popped up this morning like nipples in the winter
God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do.
After life, after death uncertain
Choose your side before they're dropping the curtain
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do.
Where do I go for my inspiration
Go with the flow, with the standing ovation
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided what to do.
Standing idle, waiting for doomsday
Damned if you do, damned if you don't say
Haven't decided,
Haven't decided.
Oh, Give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me...
Learned my lesson from history
I'm not claiming to be Jesus Christ and company
I am needy, I'm a thief
I'm not claiming to have role model qualities
But here's a lesson,
Simplicity
From a poor boy who don't believe in destiny
Be good to one another, set yourself free
All the pieces they fall together.
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Oh, give me something to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me...

The speaker is basically saying that he sees too many flaws in Christianity to put his faith in it, but like all of us, he still wants something to believe in.
However, at the end, he suggests that, regardless of our beliefs, we should still be good to each other and give each other respect, which, in the end, is what all religions try to teach anyway.
It's just my struggle with the hypocrisy of religion but needing some kind of explanation of existence. I wrote it 10+ years ago - it was one of the first songs I wrote by myself.
