Jan 22nd 2007!⃝Sorry, but you aren't quite right. Serj was 36 in 2003, the year AFTER Steal this album! was released. when the song was written, he was at most 35. However, if you add all the tracks up in order of album release (System of a down, Toxicity, Steal this album, etc.), 36 is the 36th song (13 on System, 14 on Toxicity, plus 9 to get to 36). Guess they couldn't come up with a better name. My interpretation of it:
Television is disgrace
---
TV is brainwashing people and not telling them the whole truth about important matters
Life you get old, its the race
--
People waste their lives with TV.
Can you break out, can you break out, will you live at your own pace
--
People should have the willpower to break away from TV's grasp and get out into the real world to find stuff out for themselves.
Life so unnessecary
--
Life becomes poinless if all people do is sit at home watching TV
