I think it has to do with religion. The:

"Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt."

means and that no one really knows for sure what is going to happen when we die or what the meaning of life is, no one can walk the earth and think that they are wrong about what they believe is a fundamentalist. The meaning of the text is that we should think about what we do, is it really ok to do the things we do? Is it ok to say that the lord wants war?

"Hopes and prayers in pursuit of salvation, Take a short cut, it only bends our cause. But as far as I remember, There is nothing that will get back the days you lost."

This is the main massage imo, the easy way is a religion. Should you join a religion to find the answers to all problems that is bugging you? the yesterday lines could be about: a) This era shouldn't be about religion, since science has given answer to most question that religion previously tried to answer we should abandon it, that is what the lines about a past time refers to. b) Living by the bible is a waste of time, who do really know that it is the right religion, all the days you spend living by the bible will never come again, so live like every day will be your last.
