      @@pr9039 I think what was changed was appropriate for our times. And yes I understand when, how and why the song was written and from what point of view it comes from. And maybe Serj is sensitive to it being he’s an Ethnic Armenian him self, and may not feel comfortable sing ethic slurs.

Show them how their art would be turned into the exact thing they reviled; background music for the bourgeois, casually interested masses of consumer culture. That the spiritual successors of the same people that used to beat them up for looking different would bob their heads along to their music at an MTV party. God help us. God help us all.
