Son of Sam Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Paint it black and white if you like
The stories still the same
A generation built on a lie
That everyone of us is safe
Paint it black and white if you like
If it keeps you sane
You know the world just ain't right
So tell me who's to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
(And I will catch you, but you might break the fall)

[Chorus]
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
God damn, son of Sam
God damn, son of Sam

[Verse 2]
Burning buildings from above
Send their best and send their love
Turn away, goodbye, goodnight
Go to sleep, now don't you cry
Are you afraid your life means less?
Are you concerned you might be next?
It's much too soon for me to tell
If you're in heaven or in hell

[Pre-Chorus]
(And I will catch you, but you might break the fall)

[Chorus]
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
God damn, son of Sam
God damn, son of Sam
God damn

[Verse 3]
Your ceiling falling piece by pieces
Raining down like concrete
Just surrender and remember
What you've done to me
Look now over your shoulder
No it's not over
It's just beginning
And I will write the final ending

[Chorus]
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
God damn, I might be the son of Sam
The only child of a holy man
I stand alone for all to see
Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
Son of Sam, son of Sam
Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
Son of Sam, son of Sam
Cause they ain't never seen a war like me
Son of Sam, son of Sam
