"I need to fuck the sys-"
"Im, but a little bit bit bit, show!"
Say the previous line real fast and see what it says
"War!
Fuck the system!"
But later...
"Whore!
Fuck the system!"
The song seems to be about censorship.
"Im but a little bit bit bitch ooo..."
"I need to fuck the sys- (tem)."
Both lines have been "censored" by SOAD to make their point about censorship.
The biggest point is the last one though, War -> Whore. Its one thing to remove words like bitch, but when thoughts, ideas pertaining to war (especially in close context to the words fuck the system) are censored, we have a real problem, and as he says:
We all need to fuck the system!!!
I would leave you to draw your own conclusions on what he is saying about censorship, and where that may or may not apply, but it seems that through demonstraition, he has shown that his saying "fuck the system" has been censored.
Another point about censorship however.
The Little bit bit bit...
It ends with "Bit Bit Bit" which sounds very reminsant of the "bleep" you used to hear on tv when someone cussed before they just muted it out.
Further, "im just a little Bleep Bleep Bleep" kinda says something in itself. He is expressing something, and we don't know what... could his ideas be that harmful to our fragile emotional psyche that we should not handel it and need protection from our government? (Assuming this is SOAD's comment on censorship).
It seems an interesting and subtle medium to comment on censorship.
Censorship is a hard topic to broach. SOAD being opposed to it would be shot down instantly for the langauge they use, but that's not the real point or what is really scary about censorship (i.e. The war -> whore idea).
As always, this could be reading too far between the lines, but it makes a valid point, regardless of whether SOAD had even intended it.
