Lyric discussion by alxo7o7 

i dunno about all of that... but when i first heard this song, specifically the beginning, i thought of Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Dead-Eye Dick" And central incident of the novel is:

On Mother's Day, 1944, just after Eleanor Roosevelt had had lunch with the Waltz family of Midland City, 12-year-old Rudy Waltz went up to the arms room and squeezed off a rifle round in the air over the near-by town and killed a pregnant housewife who was vacuuming her home eight blocks away....

it may just be coincidence, but the house they were in had a cobble stone floor and an old wooded ceiling...and if Regina was alluding to this book, then she probably was addressing some of the things in the previous posts, WWII, gun control, mother/son relationship, and how all that relates to UH-merica, etc...but also in a more complex way...i personally dont think teddy had anything to do with the song

p.s. the book is really good by the way, in case you're up for some though provoking/entertaining reading

yeah, that sounds pretty convincing.
