I think I read somewhere that Katy went to a Catholic school and when I listen to this song, I seem to think of her rebelling against that religious school. Perhaps she didn't care for their practices and wanted to believe she had the right to her own beliefs....referring the the line "I won't wear your stupid mask". It's just my theory of her not wanting to hide behind a mask of religion and to accept their beliefs as her own. Not that I think she's totally dissing the idea of religion or a higher power, but not to be forced fed the practices, beliefs, and fears.
