Removed the 'as it is almost impossible to get the exact meaning of a System Of A Down song.' from the 'They're trying to build a prison, another prison system for you and me." This is only one of the many interpretations for this song, as it is almost impossible to get the exact meaning of a System Of A Down song.', because it seemed out of place.


i'm wondering about the lyrics for this song. on the system of a down website, the lyrics are "i buy my crack, my smack, my bitch right here in hollywood" but in the booklet that comes with the actual CD, the lyrics are "i buy my crack, i smack my bitch right here in hollywood" i know it isn't that much of a difference, because there is only a one word difference, but the meaning changes a lot.

That really doesn't change the meaning a whole lot. He buys crack, smack (heroine) and a girl. As compared to smoking crack and smacking his girl.


Actually, if you're going off pronunciation, he really really really says 'my buy my crack my smack my bitch'. I think that the 'm'-like beginnings to the I's are simply to add to how moronic the lifestyle sounds. You could hardly say that the vocals are recited in a sensible sounding way.

No it does. He's not buying smack, he's smacking a bitch.

If you consider the context, it makes more sense that he is talking about the ease with which those things are procured (I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch, right here in hollywood). DerwinUMD 01:07, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Derwin's context argument and I changed the page accordingly. Also, i trust the system of a down website... it appears in the song EVERY TIME as "my crack, My smack, my bitch, right here in hollywood", destroying the possibility of a mess-up in the lyrics. --George The Man 20:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
