Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
____________________
/ System of a Down / I think that this song is a political critique
/ Hypnotize / of both the American people, failing to stand up
/ Hypnotize / against its government, and of mesmerizing media,
/___________________/ allaying political incentives with dumbing and
distracting consumerism etc. "The kids at Tiananmen
Square" is a reference to the political demonstration by Chinese students
in 1989, which ended up in slaughter of the students by Chinese police.
The reference serves to represent dedicated political engagement against
the established system, and it stands in contrast to the repeated line,
"I'm just sitting in my and car and waiting for my girl", representing
ignorant innocence and pure disengagement from political reality.

Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Was fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
She's scared that I will take her away from there
Dreams that her country left with no one there
Mesmerize the simple minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl

/ System of a Down / I think that this song is a political critique
/ Hypnotize / of both the American people, failing to stand up
/ Hypnotize / against its government, and of mesmerizing media,
/___________________/ allaying political incentives with dumbing and
distracting consumerism etc. "The kids at Tiananmen
Square" is a reference to the political demonstration by Chinese students
in 1989, which ended up in slaughter of the students by Chinese police.
The reference serves to represent dedicated political engagement against
the established system, and it stands in contrast to the repeated line,
"I'm just sitting in my and car and waiting for my girl", representing
ignorant innocence and pure disengagement from political reality.

LYRICS
**********
Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Was fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
She's scared that I will take her away from there
Dreams that her country left with no one there
Mesmerize the simple minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
I'm just sitting in my car and waiting for my girl
