I personally think that this song is about becoming Atheist and in doing so that it is his responsiblity to take the blame for all of his sins, that even though there is no God in his point of view that he should still live life as a good person.
"All the things you missed when you were dismissed
Because learning always ended at three
And time after time, you pass along liability
And all the things you say, they only give you away
Because you're on the same level that you were that day"
This part talks about how we are basically set up at the age of 3 for what the rest of our lives are going to be like. If your told that there is a God when your young and that if you don't believe in him then your going to hell, your most likely going to believe that for the rest of your life, and if you don't really question your faith then your pretty much just the same as a little kid.
"Soon everyone will see, and everyone will know
That the things we hid were irrelevant and it's all just part of the show
And the blemishes and scars that made us who we are
We're told to cover up, but we've taken enough
And we're not going to stop until it's taken apart."
Basically, don't cover up all your horrible experiences in hopes that people will accept you because they are really in the past and the past is the past.
"Oh! Friend! You look too deep at the cover of the magazine
But the words inside they come across deprived
And they force feed shit, but you still subscribe
And you watch, but you don't see
You touch, but you don't feel
And you'll rue the day they'll try to take it away
But they know you'll never fight it if they keep it the same"
So basically don't believe everything you hear, your should really question and find your own answers instead of allowing others to decide for you, and we get use to this and the day that they stop then we get lost. (Is this kinda reffering to the bible? Seems like it's a metaphor of it...or it could really be talking about a magazine. Just my opinion)
The only thing I don't buy about that is the comparison of religious figure, or in some sense, God, to the 'blond,' being an possibly attractive, but in fact unintelligent figure, whereas the religious figures are trying to send a completely different message, whatever it may be. To compare 'the magazine' with the bible, I think, is a bad metaphor. The authors of 'the magazine' are aware that they're 'force feeding sh**', but preachers of the words of the Bible are doings so based on honest faith. Usually.
I just don't think the Bible should be compared to a tabloid. There's...

I just don't think the Bible should be compared to a tabloid. There's a difference in intentions there :)
Good interpreting eye, though. Quite eye-opening
