Great song.
"There was Christ in the metal shell" - JFK (as a comparison of christ) in his car
"There was blood on the pavement" - After he was shot obviously
"The camera will make you god" - Publicity and serialism made JFK into a christ like figure, he was even martyred
"That's how Jack became sainted" - You have to admit JFK is like a saint now, people ask "where were u when JFK was killed?" everyone knows about it, school history classes even teach it.
The Chorus is reasonably self-explanatory, if your life AND DEATH are televised and in the public eye, nobodies gunna forget you in a hurry, if not, your just another nobody
pdawg explained the second verse pretty well
"It took three days, for him to die
so the born again could buy the serial rights"
This is saying how the "born again" or Christians use Christs martyrdom in ways which it wasnt meant to be used.
