More specifically the song talks about how the church (or various Christian denominational churches) teach that you must follow a certain set of morals in order to avoid Hell and go to Heaven. And how these churches coerce their members into giving them substantial sums of money as well...
But when you die, all the effort and money that you gave so that you could get to heaven ends up being completely worthless. When it's all said and done, you ended up giving all that money and avoiding premarital sex for nothing. God doesn't shepherd you into heaven for doing it, you simply die and it all just "goes down the drain."
Obviously it's talking about death.
