   / 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!

 Interlude: (now, this is one of the reasons, why SOAD has achieved such an
attention that they have today. The beauty and peaceful parts represent the
aforementioned American Dream world, while the heavy parts represent the real
world, which you suddenly, and 'interuptively', are hurled in to.

  Melt in the sun
  Melt in the sun
  Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun?

  Hide in the sky
  Hide in the sky
  Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky?

  You and me should go outside
  And beat 'em beat 'em beat 'em beat 'em beat 'em beat 'em
  All pathetic, flag waving, ignorant geeks
  And we'll eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em

  Come join the cause
  Come join the cause
  Who wants to come with me and come join the cause?

  Hide in the sky
  Hide in the sky
  Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky?

  Realize you're blind
  And we're out of time
  It'll show your mind

  It'll show your mind
  That you have a mind
