System of A Down (album) - Footnotes

Footnotes

Before some of the lyrics in the booklet for the album, footnotes appear.

• "Spiders" :

"Your thoughts, and dreams are no longer sacred, as they are exposed to a
weapon known as remote viewing and monitoring."

• "DDevil" :

"For those that control the central nervous system,
control society, and the world."

• "War?" :

"We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in
the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change."

• "Mind" :

"Mind control technology has been used by the CIA since the 1950s as part of
their non-lethal, covert weapons program."

• "Peephole" :

"The February 18 edition of Britain's NEW SCIENTIST Magazine reports that the
Geneva-based World Health Organization suppressed, under political pressure,
a report which confirmed that marijuana is safer than either alcohol or tobacco."

• "Darts" :

"Why do old societies hold the pantheon of 12 gods to be true,
while modern societies generally have one God?"

• "P.L.U.C.K." :

"System of a Down would like to dedicate this song to the memory of the 1.5
million victims of the Armenian Genocide, perpetrated by the Turkish
Government in 1915."
