Talking to God Lyrics

I think that this song is about the singer's parents and how they were so religious when he was growing up. They forbade him to listen to rock and roll music because they thought it was evil. So I think that it's about their neglect towards him and he is questioning how they can claim to be religious when they don't love their own son. Just read the line

"How can you talk to god When you wont talk to me?"

I also think that his parents may have been abusive to him as well because of the line

"When you'd hit your boys, in that fucked up voice"

I think that this may have caused him to grow up questioning religion, which is what this song is about. That's just my thoughts though, anyone else got any ideas?
