Yeah really not sure what the first verse is about, the only thing I can think of is childhood obesity in American specifically, and the general lack of good parenting, perhaps specifically from parents who keep feeding their obese kids cake for breakfast and stuff.
The second verse is pretty clear. It's obviously about Jesus, and people who use his name in vain as moral justification to go to war and do terrible things that, ironically, the biblical Jesus would not have stood for.
And just to clarify, because the lyrics on that part are a little sloppy above, and I have the booklet, it goes
"There was a man from Nazareth
Who fools at war pervert."
I don't think it's a slight against religion in general, I think it's just a slight against people who misuse it. Great opening song, love the new CD so far.
