Lyrical Interpretations

Astonishing Panorama Of The Endtimes The boy's got a head like an atom bomb (exploding) Hang him from a cross like the number one son (Jesus) And he's been waiting so long to get it on. The boy's 15 but he's 16 gauge (15 years, 16 gauge gun) Wants to get out of his Jesus cage (wants to escape religion) He's already torn out the last page It's the "latest rage" (getting in on whatever is popular) Violence for the people They always eat the hand that bleeds (?) Violence for the people Give the kids what they need (obvious) Kill your god, Kill your god Kill your TV (god and tv are one and the same, kill your television, kill your god, kill the glowing box that destroys your thoughts...) The boy's purified by the quitter gods Burning up his cross like a revelation (anti-christian: a new reality) And his glass jaw opens Like a puppet head (not voluntary; he is controlled by others) Violence for the people They always eat the hand that bleeds Violence for the people Give the kids what they need Kill your god, Kill your god Kill your TV This is what you should fear You are what you should fear (be afraid of yourself) Violence for the people They always eat the hand that bleeds Violence for the people Give the kids what they need Kill your god, Kill your TV
