Cover art for Tentative lyrics by System of a Down

I think this song is about the truth of corruption. We live in a world where no one is accepted for how they feel or what they believe in. Daron seems to be hinting on the fact that God is most likely sickened by the thought that we take other people's belief and, literally, attack them in physical ways. That's how wars start. It's all arguments with origin over beliefs of the unknown, and it's messed up in countless ways. War is a joke, and there's no point to it. Go ahead and say what you want, but it NEVER does anything to benefit society in any way. It just makes people develop more hatred towards one another, eventually leading to the inevitable outcome of war. Iraq never did anything to us, and yet we thrive on the fact that our society differs from them, and we therefore bomb them. Why?
