what do I think it all means... I think it's a stab at the churchthat religion dosen't appeal to people anymore that it becomes somthing you have to do instead of somthing you want to do. that sin is so blatent in society "what have you become?" the refrain confuses me "you animal come on what dose this remind you of?"

"Truly, truly we have become Hated and feared for something that we don't want Listen, listen. Most of us believe that this is wrong"

this can be seen for many different things the church dose or on the other hand seen as the many awful things society claims is right, but we all know is wrong...I need some help understanding this song so help!
