Song meaning
Greg G.: "The Prodigal Son was written by Brett and he said it's kind of a rebellious song, saying, 'Don't expect me to be the guy who returns home after having learned a hard lesson and go back to the traditional values of traditional religion'. The hard lessons we've learned is that traditional religion doesn't work very well. (...) If we're gonna go forward, then the traditional religions have got to show some progress as well. They've got to change with the time somehow."
