Favorite Son Lyrics

He hit the ground running,
At the speed of light.
The star was brightly shining,
Like a neon light.

It's your favorite son.
It's your favorite son.

A fixture on the talkshows,
To the silver screen.
From here to Colorado,
He's a sex...

    This song could also be about how hollywood will pick a guy to be a hot idol, but then when he doesn't live up to the squeaky-clean all-american image given to him, his reputation gets tarnished.

    This song is about George W Bush. Pretty self explanitory if you look at the lyrics. "A clean cut all-American really aint so clean, his royal auditorium is a murder scene" -- refers to Bush's 'clean', Christian image he gives off as being a facade, or maybe even to his former drug use and alcoholism, and to all the lies and deception going on in the white house with Iraq
