The American Scream Lyrics

The beginning of this song sounds like war brain which was on a Bush compilation. I wonder if Matt did this on purpose since both songs are somewhat about war and soldiers.

Warbrain wasn't about war, it was about the night after drinking and feeling like you've got a war going on in your head. It says so in the Remains inlay.

Yea man your totally right, but i also believe it has more meaning then just that. I did some digging and found out warbrain has to do with their on going war with the bouncing souls.
