Son of Sam Lyrics

Cover art for Son of Sam lyrics by Shinedown

It's really about the US, and the war on Iraq and such... The first part is about coverups and national security and how they try and protect us from what we "don't want to know" and stuff like that. Son of Sam? Son of America? Son of the Army? something on those lines. 2nd part kinda sounds like it's about 9/11, and what sparked the whole war. How people can lose someone, and feel like they're less... Conerned they might be next [to be a victim of terrorism] , and then the last part kinda starts with a whole new pace.. Hard to tell what the meaning is here, but it seems like someones life is falling apart and how many have died so young because of the tragedies since the disaster.

Just my generalization, forgive me if im wrong or something ;) I know theres a lot more to it too.
