They disguise it, Hypnotize it. Television made you buy it. I'm just sitting In my car and Waiting for my girl. She's scared that I will take her away from there. Dreams and her country, left with no one there. Mesmerized the simple minded Propaganda leaves us blinded. I'm just sitting In my car and Waiting for my girl. ProGram Notes The song “Hypnotize” was released by the Armenian-American metal band System of a Down in October of 2005 as the lead single from their fifth studio album of the same name. It reached number one on Billboard's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and is the band's biggest international hit. Founding band member Serj Tankian was born in Beirut on August 21, 1967. He traces his ancestry to the cities of Dörtyol, Kayseri, Tokat, and Urfa, all of which are in modern-day Turkey. His four grandparents were survivors of the Armenian Genocide. .
