Shinedown - Son of Sam lyrics

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
