It was alright, some of the lyrics didn't really tie into the actual theme of the song and it was instrumentally bleh, but the video was cool.

I don't understand english when it's sung by Tankian so I won't say anything about the quality of the lyrics, but the song and the clip were pretty awesome

Cool video, pretty good song as well. Im not sure what anti-depressants really have to do with the rest of the lyrics though.

About par for something from a System of a Down member. Some of the vocal melodies sounded awkward, but other than that it was okay.

I'll need to listen to it a few more times, though.

It's okay I suppose but it just sounds like another System track. Cool video though.

"This is unlike any other song on the record". Let's hope so.

The video was really cool, but the song gives me mixed opinions. Parts of it were cool, but the vocal melodies were annoying pretty much all the way through.

Pretty decent song. Yeah not to different from system I guess. I'll be looking forward to the rest of the album.

Clever video, not really feeling the song. I like System enough, but I've never liked the Scream/singing Serj does.

Decent. Nice to hear Serj's voice without some attempted rather whiny back-up from a certain person.

The acoustic riff is cool but other than that, instrumentally kinda weak.

when you sound as annoying as a song like that...the only thing I can think to say to you is to shut up.

he's a talented vocalist, but this song doesn't display it.

cool video I guess, solo damn better be better.

I liked it. The criticisms are all valid, and the "I believe that you're wrong" part is a bit boring, but overall I thought it was a good song. Basically what I expected, except a little less weird than I hoped. Although I wonder what he's referring to when he says it's unlike any other song on the record? Serj is pretty much my favorite vocalist of any band ever (Maynard James Keenan? Awesome, but not versatile) so I'll probably like this no matter what.

Sounds just like a System song.

I generally like stop motion video but that wasn't all that interesting an animation.

lol it looks nothing like me though. i asked for a scruffy look (thinking i would have a somewhat of a just shavin beard) but they gave me a gay mustache and goatee that consists of 5 hairs. i might try again with a different pic.

1. learn english
2. If you're gonna make a video about american democracy, don't make a britpop quality video.
3. If you're gonna make a solo project, make it different then the band you're already in. (ex: Dustin Kensrue)

Um, icaughtfire, Serj said this would be different from the rest of the album. Admitted similarities to System of a Down aside, the solo project won't be like this. And Britpop quality video? WTF? The video was awesome, and even if it was of that quality as you claim, the association of the video with anything British is tenuous at best.

that was my favorite part of the song =/

this is definately a grower, i like it more now, and i can't get it out of my head

I thought this was below par, sucks comparative to System stuff. I kinda grew out of SOAD, I think they whine too much, basically they are just as bad as who they are talking about, they create propaganda aswell:/

The song surprised me to be honest, I like SOAD but I had very low expectations and quite liked it. Video was a bit meh, got a bit boring as it moved onwards, but the song was great.

they create propaganda aswell:/

If you want to get technical about it, any media that has an agenda is propaganda. By definition, John Lennon was a propagandist. So was Joe Strummer. And Chuck D of Public Enemy. And The Eagles... The Scorpions at one point... Pink Floyd...
Do I really need to go on?

The song was alright. I didn't really like the "Clearing the way for the oil brigade" part, though.

I dunno. I was looking for reasons not to like this but I sort of did. Song isn't awful either. Whatever, this isn't completely unexpected.
And does anyone else not despise Daron?

he should do what he does best, focus on the guitar and harmonize with Serj's vocals like on Toxicity.
