This song is about how governments manipulate people, essentially hypnotizing them into believing what they say with the help of television, which placates the masses and keeps them in line. Government oppression and a complicit media are common themes in System Of A Down's oeuvre.

This repeated passage means exactly what it says: System guitarist Daron Malakian was sitting in his car, waiting for his girlfriend when he wrote it. I'm just sitting In my car and Waiting for my girl

Daron Malakian and lead singer Serj Tankian wrote this song and trade off on lead vocals. Malakian produced the track with Rick Rubin, who was also their label boss.
