So you say you gotta know why the world goes 'round
And you can't find the truth in the things you've found
And you're scared shitless 'cause evil abounds
Come and join us
Well I heard you were looking for a place to fit in
Full of adherent people with the same objective
A family to cling to and call brethren
Come and join us
All we want to do is change your mind
All you need to do is close your eyes
So come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us
Don't you see the trouble that most people are in
And that they just want you for their own advantage
But I swear to you we're different from all of them
Come and join us
I can tell you are lookin' for a way to live
Where truth is determined by consensus
Full of codified arbitrary directives
Come and join us
All we want to have is your small mind
Turn it into one of our own kind
You can go through life adrift and alone
Desperate, desolate, on your own
But we're lookin' for a few more stalwart clones
So come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us
We've got spite and dedication as a vehement brew
The world hates us, well we hate them too
But you're exempted of course if you
Come and join us
Independent, self-contented, revolutionary
Intellectual, brave, strong and scholarly
If you're not one of them, you're us already so
Come and join us
And you can't find the truth in the things you've found
And you're scared shitless 'cause evil abounds
Come and join us
Well I heard you were looking for a place to fit in
Full of adherent people with the same objective
A family to cling to and call brethren
Come and join us
All we want to do is change your mind
All you need to do is close your eyes
So come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us
Don't you see the trouble that most people are in
And that they just want you for their own advantage
But I swear to you we're different from all of them
Come and join us
I can tell you are lookin' for a way to live
Where truth is determined by consensus
Full of codified arbitrary directives
Come and join us
All we want to have is your small mind
Turn it into one of our own kind
You can go through life adrift and alone
Desperate, desolate, on your own
But we're lookin' for a few more stalwart clones
So come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us
We've got spite and dedication as a vehement brew
The world hates us, well we hate them too
But you're exempted of course if you
Come and join us
Independent, self-contented, revolutionary
Intellectual, brave, strong and scholarly
If you're not one of them, you're us already so
Come and join us

It is pretty obvious what this song is about.
the lyrics are pretty straight forward, but i dont think they're reffering specially to religions. it could be movements, political parties whatever.
It's quite obviously about religion. You should be ashamed of yourself people who said it's about punk. Punk is about individuality.
This is scathing assault on any dogmatic organization, be it religion, the hardcore punk/straight edge scenesters who act like thought police, Gangs, The Mafia, PETA, Neo-Nazis, the Police, *ANYONE*; and the kind of groupthink that allows these organizations to thrive and recruit new members to do their shitty bidding under the threat of exclusion or violence.
Yes it's about punk.
Yes it's about religion.
=P
it is about people who like recruit simple minded people looking for a way of life to join them and do whatever theyr doing without even caring
see the movie
AMERICAN HISTORY X
its like what the skins do to those teenagers to convince them to like break into a store or soemthing
"And you can't find the truth in the things you've found
And you're scared shitless 'cause evil abounds
Come join us" - relaties to how the christian churches find the weak and scare them into beliving in God so they can 'save them' a.k.a. - they got another costomer.
So in my view, its about how churches scare people into becoming paying members.
