I think the song is about hypocrisy. People utter religious platitudes such as 'amen' but don't actually seek to be virtuous until they have had their pleasures. Some people want to wait until they are sober and other want to commit atrocities first.
Wonderful song - one of Leonard's best, in my opinion.
