Kiss Me, Son Of God

I think this song is about Communism. Or maybe the old Monarchies where the kings and queens claimed they were ordained by God. Anyways...

"built a little empire out of some crazy garbage Called the blood of the exploited working class" - The leader built the empire by using the working class at their disposal through war, labor, whatever.

"But they've overcome their shyness Now they're calling me Your Highness And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"" - The people revere the leader as royalty or divinity.

"I destroyed a bond of friendship and respect Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye Now I laugh and make a fortune Off the same ones that I tortured And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God"" - The leader becomes corrupt and cares only about their own comfortable lifestyle and their power. Everyone else in the government fears the leader. The leader now uses the poeple only for money and wealth.

"I look like Jesus, so they say But Mr. Jesus is very far away" - The leader uses "divine right" to rule but secretly admits it's not true. "Now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true That you love me and I love me" - The vanity of the leader thinking everyone loves him and how he only loves himself.

Anyways this song is way cool!
