This song is a prime example of a metaphor: taking to completely opposite things and comparing them. The first line is true…we are going to die. The difference can be inferred that “I” is a Christian and “You” is not. What they mean by “peace” and “fight” is that “You” wants eternal life but doesn’t really want to get into church stuff. By bathing in armor, they are getting into heaven, and if not, hell awaits (death). Churches have nuns, cowboys got guns is an incredibly true statement that is very fun to say and has nothing pertaining to the song otherwise. Everyone’s waiting to die—what are you going to do to ensure you have life after death?
