I've been walking through your streets,
Where all your money's earning,
Where all your building's crying
And clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears,
Desensitized by TV,
Overbearing advertising,
God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering,
Your neighbor, what a guy.
Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations,
Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations,
Puppeting your frustrations,
I don't find a "political agenda" anywhere in these lyrics, and this song makes me feel hate and anger over the issues being discussed, so you really MUST be a twat, since you don't see this. I'm doing a piece on political content within music, with reference to System, and they write much more than just average "hate America" anthems. (actually, are quite an intellectual lot, see
www.systemofadownonline.com psychological assessments of the members) And the reason that songs like BYOB and Hypnotize went so mainstream is that Violent Pornography, Vicinity/Obscenity, they were unfit for radioplay.*and Hypnotize was kinda crap. Again, I see no politics in those examples either. People who like SOAD should look into Serart, and those who are cool people should check them out too, b/c it illustrates my point. Plus its just kewl, random tribal style drumming & chanting, sry, have no links tho
k, I'm done ranting...
