Son of Sam - Shinedown

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 wont just stay right, so tell me who’s to blame

And I will catch you

But who 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

Its much too soon for me to tell, if you’re in heaven or in hell

And I will catch you

But who 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

(Goddamn)

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

(Goddamn)

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

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

'Cause they ain’t never seen a war like me

Son of Sam, Son of Sam
