____________________ / System of a Down / I think that this song is, as many other SOAD songs, about / U-Fig / forgetting about the constantly spreading optimal life achievement, / Hypnotize / 'The American Dream', a formula, which have permeated so many poor /___________________/ American minds. It's just thing that the optimal lifestyle is having plenty of money, abeloved (x02210@1)wife and kids, and all such things in an objective way, means not for you own sake. So I think that the main message for the song is to open your eyes, take a look at society and think about if what you've achieved has actually made you any happier for you, not for anyone else!
