Shinedown - Son of Sam

© 2008 WMG and Shinedown
A bonus track off the album "Sound of Madness"

Paint it black and white if you like,
The story's still the same.
A generation built on a lie, that
Every one of us is safe.
Paint it black and white if you like,
If it keeps you sane.
You know the world just aint right.
So tell me, who's to blame?

And I will catch you, but you might
Break the fall?

[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
(Goddamn) Son of sam. [x2]

Burning buildings from above.
Send the best, and send their love.
Turn away. Goodbye, goodnight.
Go to sleep, now don't you cry.
Are you afraid your life means less?
Are you concerned you might be next?
Its much too soon for me to tell,
If you're in heaven or in hell.

And I will catch you, but you might
Break the fall?

[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
(Goddamn) Son of sam. [x2]
(Goddamn)

Your ceiling falling piece by pieces,
Raining down like concrete.
Just surrender, and remember what
You've done to me.
Look now, over your shoulder.
No, its not over. Its just beginning.
And now I write the final ending.

[Chorus]
Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me -

Goddamn, I might be the son of sam.
The only child of a holy man.
I stand alone for all to see,
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.

Son of sam. [x2]
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
Son of sam. [x2]
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
Son of sam. [x2]
'Cause they ain't never seen a war like me.
Son of sam. [x2]

[6393dude]

why isnt this on the regular album? its too good not to be

[dabears17x]

@NightRaptor Yeah bro, Nickleback is real music. Nickleback is WORSE than Bieber. And Gaga is much better than Nickleback. JeffWaters is right. Now leave this place.

[SweetsItsADrug]

And i will catch you o,...,O

[pacogigax]

Son of Sam !

[NightRaptor]

@JeffWatersRules What? No. I wasn't talking about your face. I was talking about a mix of rock and softer metal. Rock and Metal you know, REAL music. Not like I was talking about a mix between bieber and gaga...

[JeffWatersRules]

@NightRaptor a mix of crap and meh?

[NightRaptor]

Not bad, reminds me of a mix between Nickelback and Godsmack.

@PunisherEntertainmen sorry man i kinda messed up, meant the other way :P

[NearRod]

Better than Elliot Smith music ...

[PunisherEntertainmen]

@anusalltheway No, you've got it backwards. If I break your fall, you land on me, not the other way around. I.E., "breaking" your falling motion.

@anusalltheway thanks man, now I kind of get it. Apreciate it!
