They Say lyrics by Scars On Broadway

I love system of a down so obviously I would like this song. Americal though is the only country where it all most encourages violence, not becasue of war becasue compared to other countries we are not in constant tourmoil but we show all the shootings on tv making shooters and killers almost celebrities. How Dumb Can we Be

Mattias, read "Dances with Devils" for more insight on eschatology issues. There is no indication of an end of the world in 2012 even by mayan accounts, it's just the end of a dating cycle, like 2000 was for us. Millenialism is just a way to get people afraid and manipulate them, whether it is based in Mayan, Xtian or Xenu.

Control is control, and that is what Scars is saying. It's ALL BS

He's talking about the media alot though as well, which pushes that panic button, the idea that we are at the edge constantly, that the world is going to end, and it acts to both manufacture consent for the worst depravity that our government inflicts on other nations, as well as the feeling of hopeless isolation.
"I climb the wall, the wall of news
I watched them show the tragedy"

no where else in the world other than america does the "end of the world" theme play as powerfully, inciting the public into an orgy of violence and causing us to advocate the funding of the largest defense budget on the planet (greater than every other country combined), while neglecting social programs, basic health care, hunger, and poverty.

Read the article "Dances with Devils" about the role of eschatology in american politics and rhetoric, it is very enlightening

see www.zeitgeistmovie.com to see how american society is totally screwed... and possibly the whole world...

I agree with Lukium,
Its directed at the more recent happenings, probably primarily war "For we live in sin, for we will win
I watched the president fuck society"
, not nessasarily the end of days, it can kinda also be related to the global crash (recession) as this song was written pre that and also the election. Well timed.
i really do like this song too ;)
