Son of Sam

Paint it black and white if you like, the story's still the same
 A generation built on a lie that every one of us is safe
 Paint it black and white if you like, if it keeps you sane
 You know the world just won't stay right, so tell me who's to blame
 And I will catch you
 But you might break the fall
 Goddamn, I wanna 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
 (Goddamn) Son of Sam
 (Goddamn) Son of Sam
 Burning buildings fall apart, send the 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
 And I will catch you
 But you might break the fall
 Goddamn, I wanna 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

 Your ceiling falling piece by piece is 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 now light the fire on ending
 Goddamn, I wanna 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
