Favorite Son Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ArianeTheFool 

Cover art for Favorite Son lyrics by Green Day

I thought it was about Bush (It being on the Rock Against Bush 2 album and all) but I was a little confused by the line "He's a sex machine." Is that just there to confuse people?

OR there's My Big Number 2 Theory which is that the Favourite Son is another background character from the American Idiot album, as are Shoplifter and Governator from the American Idiot B Sides. I suppose they would be not quite as important as St Jimmy, J of S and Whatsername which is why they're not on the album... I dunno, maybe those songs were cut from the album because they were unnessacary... or maybe I just like stories too much.
