Just my take but it's a song about religion. The line that gives it away is:
"The answer's in the looking glass"
This is a reference to Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" and in it is a poem called the "The Walrus and the Carpenter" that is a metaphor for religion - Devil and Jesus. It's also the same poem that John Lennon based "I'm the Walrus" on, although he later said that he never realised the Walrus was the bad one and should have called it "I'm the Carpenter" - but I think he knew rightly.
Basically it's saying you can be good or bad - however being bad isn't wrong or against God - it's your choice, don't feel like you are controlled into thinking anything.
Other lines:
"You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go"
"I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all the things that come our way"
This is a clever line and quite simply if you look into a looking glass eg a mirror you will see the answer looking back at you, the answer is you my friend eg life is only what you make of it, its not down to anyone else.
