to me this song is about a religious person who lost faith. the narrator has always tried to be good so that jesus will forgive him - and he realizes that he gets none of those things he prayed for in return at all. the world is loveless, he can't find love, and he gets old and his body falls apart. and he has to ask himself why jesus is making him suffer like that (do you hate me?). so he's angry and frustrated but forgives jesus for not coming thru. to me it's a quite good account on the stange religious belief that 'god is good' and if you are nice and pray then everything will be wonderful in the end - which I don't understand how anyone with open eyes can even seriously believe. jim morrisson said "you cannot petition the lord with prayer" and mozzer has forgiven jesus ;-)
