The Kombucha mushroom people
Sitting around all day
Who can believe you?
Who can believe you?
Let your mother pray
Sugar
Sugar
I'm not there all the time, you know
Some people, some people, some people
Call it insane, yeah, they call it insane (sugar)
I play Russian Roulette everyday, a man's sport
With a bullet called life, yeah, mama, called life (sugar)
You know that every time I try to go
Where I really wanna be
It's already where I am
'Cause I'm already there
The Kombucha mushroom people
Sitting around all day
Who can believe you?
Who can believe you?
Let your mother pray
Sugar
I got a gun the other day from Sako
It's cute, small, fits right in my pocket
Yeah, right in my pocket (sugar)
My girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes
And I just fucking kick her, and then, ooh baby, she's okay (sugar)
People are always chasing me down
Trying to push my face to the ground
Where all they do is suck out my motherfucking brains, my brains (sugar)
The Kombucha mushroom people
Sitting around all day
Who can believe you?
Who can believe you?
Let your mother pray
I sit, in my desolate room
No lights, no music
Just anger
I've killed everyone
I'm away forever, but I'm feeling better
How do I feel?
What do I say?
Fuck you, it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
Fuck you, it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
In the end it all goes away
In the end it all goes away
In the end it all goes away
In the end it all goes away
Sitting around all day
Who can believe you?
Who can believe you?
Let your mother pray

How do I feel, What do I say,
Fuck you, it all goes away,
"What do I feel, what do i say" shows how one is struggling for individuality, "fuck you" then shows the giving in aspect after a struggle of conflicting thoughts within one as they turn their thought over to the media's powerful influence. Once they no longer have to think on their own the conflict they faced ends, hence "It all goes away".
Do you think that capitalism is in the core of all of it, or is the problem in human psychology? Capitalism making only profit important, or people Escaping form freedom? (Eric Fromm) Or perhaps something else?
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.
This song is about four things, the first one is about Aspartame, a substance created to substitue sugar that is usually found on diet foods and drinks. According to a research, the frequent ingestion of aspartame based meals can make you have a violent behavior. That explains the lines which he says everyone thinks he is insane, then he hited his girlfriend, got a gun from Sako and killed his family.
The second thing is about what everyone who listened to Sugar wanted to understand: The Kombucha Mushroom People. There is a Fungus called Kombucha, that is wrongly called a mushroom. According to some alternative medicine treatments, this fungus has healing properties, so some people drink the Kombucha tea. The line "The Kombucha Mushroom People, sitting around all day" makes a reference to a 1995 incident in Iowa, where a lot of people were found unconscious on their houses, and some were found dead or died later. The severe illness cases were explained when the investigators discovered that these people were drinking Kombucha Tea for some reason.
The third thing is about the media that always manipulate the information given to us by newspapers, television and radio, and we simply "eat it" without questioning, like some kinda delicious candy, that explains the "Sugar!", it's like "Yummy!". Also explains the "How do I feel? What do I say? Fuck you! it all goes away!".
The fourth thing is about the Mushroom effect produced when a very powerful bomb explodes. It's a reference to Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the Vietnam War. You can see a footage of a nuclear test, right in the last seconds of the Sugar clip.
