The Unthinking Majority

Serj Tankian, lead singer of System of a Down, is out with another amazing album. This one is a solo project. Here are the lyrics to The Unthinking Majority. Be sure to watch the video.

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

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating that they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade (x2)

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating that they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade (x2)

Ooooohahh...

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable (x2)

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating that they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade (x2)

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy.
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

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) x2

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating that they hold the bomb

How lonely it must be to be one of the few thinking people. Hopefully he can take some small comfort in the fact that minority thinkers can still rake in millions of dollars as rock stars in post-industrial America.

Eh, honestly, it really doesn't make much sense to me...but of course, I'm one of them slow "unthinking" types that get stumped easily by such nuanced and insightful musings.

(Sigh)

I could be wrong, but I get the feeling that he's not a big fan of anti-depressants. Well, good for him. It seems like forever since Tom Cruise last lectured Brooke Shields on this subject. It's nice to have another celebrity instructing us on mental health issues. Good God, what WOULD we do without the Thinking Minority looking after us. I shudder to think...(Not that that's even really possible, of course.)
