what a great song. to me, the lyrics are talking about religion in a sense that most of it is all lies, and that people in a society jsut needed something to believe. The line "we believed like our fathers. we believed every word. it's only a matter of time," is saying how when growing up, most kids have their parents force their religious beliefs on them, so they really have no choice but to believe every word of the bible or the church or what have you.
