i actually had to dig out the song again to find the religious reference (it's in the 2nd chorus)

Tell me Im the only one
Tell me theres no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me Im the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you

it's basically about coming to grips with the christ complex so many western children grow up with (their egos desire for external validation and attention). to overcome the idea that we're really that special and unique and that if we believe in something hard enough we can really transform into some kind of magical rainbow pissing unicorn (or in this songs case a bullet with butterfly wings).

basically you're not christ, neither is corgan. you're only as special as the next person and you're going to have to work at a job to survive no matter how much you rebel or try to rage against the machine.
