____________________ / System of a Down / I think that this song is about the American people / Hypnotize / neglecting to stand up against the American government / Hypnotize / ruling the country by blinding and brainwashing its /___________________/ population with "propaganda" to cover all its fraud. "The kids at Tiananmen Square" was the Chinese student's demonstration in 1989, which ended up being slaughtered by the Chinese police. Ironically, it was against the Chinese Government's violent treatment of its own population and the censored freedom of speech, which SOAD sadly admits is conspicuously maintained in America this day as well. ...Regretfully the Americans are just innocently "sitting in their cars and waiting for their girls"...

Was fashion the reason why they were there? They disguise it, hypnotize it Television made you buy it I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl She's scared that I will take her away from there Dreams that her country left with no one there Mesmerize the simple minded Propaganda leaves us blinded I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl Jon Sebastian Frederiksen - 8th /November /09 Just mail me at Maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments and corrections!
