If anyone's interested in comparing the two songs, the lyrics to The Confession are available on songmeanings.net, but under the band "Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire."
It seems like the most major alteration is the removal of lyrics directly attacking commercialization, although the lyrics retain a note of defiance toward or rejection of materialism.
Thanks for pointing that out, patm718!
