System of a Down – Needles Lyrics 23 years ago
Well, I believe this song is about drugs, and since a few other people have done some good in-depth explanations, I'd just like to add one thing. When I first read the lyrics to this song, the line 'Pull the tapeworm out of your ass' is what convinced me this is a drug song.

Pull the tapworm out of your ass = Pull the needle out of your arm.

Drugs, parasite, blah blah, you know the rest. Just wanted to share that.

Also, maybe they're becoming a little Tool-ish with this song, since most Tool songs can be interpreted several ways, this song has the strong drug message, but Serj has also called it a song about man's effect on the world.
