In this song i believe that Aaron is speaking out against "organized" religion, not just religion, he believes that he does not have to go to church every sunday or even at all, and that he can worship god in his own way.
My Interpretation of the lyrics:
You take this all for granted
All the things they choose to feed you.
By keeping you distracted
Just long enough to bleed you... dry.
(you accept without question, whatever
the church preaches to you. the church
distracts you by making you feel like
you are a bad person so you give them
money so you think your a better person)
A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need
-I am not satisfied with what i think
about the chorus so I will have to
think about it some more-
(He needs all these things obviously,
so he wants a reason why people are mad,
at others about their belifes, maybe.
He needs to recognize the truth about
religion. burn your paper jesus is
a reference to money. thats the one thing
i am sure of in the chorus)
Question what they sell you
All the lies that they are teaching
And they've made a corporation
Out of desperate people's feelings... of fear.
(you should question what the
church is trying to tell you as they
lie alot, and they have made a corporation,
any group of persons united or
regarded as united in one body,
out of people fearing life after death, or
hell even.)
A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need
Somebody chose these words for you,
Interpretations of the truth.
Somewhere behind your fear they hide
To fill the holes inside.
(someone chose what you are saying,
maybe pushing religion on others.
the bible has been interpretated alot
so who knows what really happend, this
is just what they think is the truth.
they hide behind your fear, again
with the fear of life after
death, some people feel an emptiness
inside without religion.)
A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need
