System of a Down – Sugar Lyrics 11 years ago
Pretty concise, yes.
It's about being a sheep.
Which is a bit hypocritical as most music (theirs included) does the same thing, just for the other side of the coin.
The fact that they say 'they like the audience to 'draw their own meaning' - is stupid, because they clearly always have a message (most songs), they just hide it and make you think you find it on your own, it's sneaky, underhanded propaganda, so they're in the same realm as the propaganda machine they so often attack, 'hypocrisy'. Own up to it Serj!

And in a sense it is Anti Capitalism because Capitalism is synonymous with everything they're against. Greed, power, war, propaganda, etc etc...
Which also makes them hypocrites because they'll claim to fight 'the system' but still take their millions, and brainwash people for their own agendas.

Nevertheless, great music.

@ Flip. Both. Capitalism stems from humans' psychological drive for power, money, attention, fame, etc.
