I was on Lessingit just now, and reading the discussion for the System of a Down song called Deer Dance, where one member put: "This song is kinda baggin' america" because it says:
Pushing little children (Other Countries)
With their fully automatics (America's Military)
They like to push the weak around (Weaker Countries)
Now, I was wondering if you found that Anti-American, because, i don't want a flaming match, but it is kinda true. The American Government (I refuse to say Americans, cos' I'm sure it isn't the citizens of America) does push weaker countries around, it can block off the supplies of almost any country in the world (excepting, probably, Russia, China or any of the EU) and if the American Government tells you (say you're a president of a small country somewhere) to give them one hundred thousand dollars, and you don't, the American Government will find some reason to invade or at least blockade you.
Plus, the American Government can give but can't take.
eg. Cuban Missile Crisis...CUBAN?! The American Government stationed Missiles in Turkey, and the Russians made the smart move of placing Missiles in Cuba, and a lot of people I've talked to think that it was all the Russians fault, yeah right, if it wasn't for the Military Generals of America placing missiles in Turkey, the 'Cuban' Missile Crisis would have never happened.
Although that was completely off point.
So do you think that the lyrics of that song were anti-american? Download the song if you want to listen to it or just buy Toxicity the album , cos' its a pretty good song.
