I'm a bit surprised not more has been made of the religious undertones of this song, especially the second verse. Which seems to suggest that only those with God on their side will be saved, and that perhaps watching your words is in relation to being free of sin to ascend to heaven??
Personally I prefer the non-religious context of the song and this interpretation is what I enjoy. This song has a great sound and really encapsulates their sound well (unfortunately many of their other songs fall well short of that).
