[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
Wake up...
Seven AM, morning, came to take us away
Little men, big guns, pointed at our heads
Seven AM, morning, came to take us away
Little men, big guns, pointed at our heads
At our, at our heads
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Your prospect of living gone
You ran the light at dawn
Protectors on your back
Lights are on their track
You must now face authority
You're nothing like me
You must now face authority
You're nothing like me
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Fuck you, pig
Fuck you, pig
Fuck you, pig
Fuck you, pig
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Wake up...
Seven AM, morning, came to take us away
Little men, big guns, pointed at our heads
Seven AM, morning, came to take us away
Little men, big guns, pointed at our heads
At our, at our heads
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Your prospect of living gone
You ran the light at dawn
Protectors on your back
Lights are on their track
You must now face authority
You're nothing like me
You must now face authority
You're nothing like me
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Put your hands up, get out of the car
Fuck you, pig
Fuck you, pig
Fuck you, pig
Fuck you, pig
Put your hands up, get out of the car
About
Genius Annotation
“Mr. Jack” talks about living within a corrupt police state where those in authority can arrest and condemn whoever they please. System of a Down, in its first demo tape, released the first version of this called “P.I.G.”
Mr. Jack could be a nickname for the greedy cops who are out to make dirty money for the state rather than actually protect and serve. This explains the freeway line as cops are regularly seen hiding on the side of the road, cheaply trying to pull over any and everyone. It’s also a play on the slang term “jackboot”, which also describes on a holier-than-thou cop who is out for their own good and not the communities.
