I think most of this song is meant to be sarcastic. The first verse may be about him coming of age, but the rest of the song is making fun of people who suddenly find religion and decide that everything they had previously done wrong is completely rectified. And now they are these totally different people. Mainly just to outward appearances though. Internally they really haven't change and never will.

I beleieve Cornell wanted this to be simple and sarcastic. Making it seem like it is so simple for someone to decide one day that they are now religous and all wrongs have been righted and now you can do no wrong.
