Mar 20th 2013!⃝This song is about rape culture, capitalism and normalization of sexual violence against women.
"Everybody everybody everybody livin' now, everybody fucks,sucks, cries, dies"- Violence, selfishness, self-entitlement are inevitable facts of life.
"It's a non-stop disco, bet you it's Nabisco, bet you didn't know" - The perpetuation of the status quo(Nabisco is a vicious, self-defeating cycle maintained by mainstream media and Capitalism. (Nabisco is a capitalist, mainstream food distributor. In my opinion, Nabisco can be likened or compared to white-washing, catering the the masses.) Uneducated consumers are brainwashed and feed into the capitalist infrastructure that encourages and perpetuate oppression.
"It's a violent pornography, choking chicks and sodomy, the kind of shit you get on your TV." Television and media provide unrealistic and damaging portrayals of women. These hyper-sexualized and degrading portraits incubate the normalization and justification of violence against them.
What Serj is trying to tell us is....
TURN OFF YOUR DAMN TV!!!!
