I recently saw Bright Eyes perform, and before playing this song, Connor said "This song is kind of a kumbayah, make love not war. It's also about bring smart and not joining senseless stupidity"
This is one of my favorite songs.
"I have my drugs, I have my women
They keep away my loneliness
My parents, they have their religions
But sleep in seperate houses"
To me, this is him saying that while his methods of self medication (drugs and women) may be frowned upon, they seem to be working for him better then the methods his parents, or anyone else for that matter, chose, which was religion.

This song is so brilliant.
