Television in disgrace
Life you get old, it's the race,
Can you break out,
Can you break out,
Will you live at your own pace.

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

I like the previous interpretations, but I have to add that with SOAD I think half of the meaning is held in the lyrics, and half in the music.
The way they sing this, its like life itself is narrating it. They're portraying that often your life and society are in control of you, and a lot of people just let life carry them along as it will, until one day they look around and realize that they're not happy with how things turned out. The way they scream "WILL YOU LIVE AT YOUR OWN PACE" at the end portrays that sudden realization.

"television is disgrace" this refers to how tv is brainwashing, and it's disgraceful to see all the brain-washed people there are out there.
"Life you get old, it's the race" this is about how people get old, and it's going to happen because we're the human race, and we get old. so why waste your time being brain-washed by tv?
"can you break out, can you break out" this means, are you able to break free from all of this? are you able to live at your own pace and not the world's pace?
"Life so unnecessary" this represents how life is truly unnecessary if you don't break away from the world and try to do things at your pace. the world and tv can't control you, you're in charge of yourself and you need to ask yourself, can i break out?
