Alright, so the lyrics aren't very deep so this shouldn't be too hard.
Let's start off with the first part...
Quote:
We don't need your democracy.
Execute them kindly for me.
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggy hostels.
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Basically, Serj is pissed at whoever is running their democracy and wants them dead. In the second part of this, Serj wants leaders to execute (carry out) what democracy is all about. Now we the people, in this post-industrial society, are not thinking.
Quote:
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
"Tools of your system" are referring to us. We are taking anti-depressants (drugs, alcohol, etc.) and forgetting about what is going on around us.
Quote:
I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating that they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Serj, in my opinion, is referring to Iraq here. The US government told everyone that Saddam had bombs, and once they got in they brought in people to get oil.
Or what he is trying to say is that people who believe that anti-depressants make life more tolerable are really stupid and make assumptions without thinking, that people take for granted their safety secured for them by democracy, that these things are what 'The Unthinking Majority' believe.

I agree with you completely! I just want to add that TV shows and such are also anti-depressants, as they make you forget about what's happening around you, while you emerge yourself in that other world...
