I think "mow down the sexy people" is referring to how rabbits are considered an animal of a sort of playful sexuality. (playboy bunny, etc.)

I know at the beginning of the live version he says this:
"when I was a young boy I used to talk to god, and I said ' you motherf***er' and he said ' you motherf***er are gonna kill rock and roll and **** all the sexy people' so I did"

not really an intrepretaion but might help you understand it better

Daron has said himself in many interviews that he had a rabbit that he had found and named it "rock'n roll" and he ran it over on accident and felt horrible and so he wrote that song because he killed "rock 'n roll" that song has nothing to do with the music rock and roll it is in fact about a rabbit

Kill rock 'n roll seems to have two paralleling themes in my opinion, orginally when I heard the song I interpreted it to be talking about how soad has steel rolled the defintion of a traditional rock 'n roll band with their nu-metal style

but, it seems that it is also about a rabbit, the rabbit theme to the song works and I like it but I also think that soad wants us to compare the rabbits to those 'damn hippy' rock and rollers,

eat all the grass, refers to the rabbits and also all the rock and roll bands that are addicted to weed

accidents happen in the dark, refers to daron's accident with the rabbit and also the promiscuous sex of rock and roll bands

Ankit: somehow I am not too sure whatthe first (5 star) guy said for this song. I mean for sure it seems to make a whole lot of sense and the rabbit story really fits in. But the song then just doesn't follow the trend in all the other system's songs.

- they never tell us what their song means. Either they say some garbage or they say it means nothing: that's for us to figure the meaning! So why would he come out and tell us a true story for this one?

- also it doesn't seem that this rabbit story has anything significant about it. What message are they trying to get through to us? "watch out for rabbits when your driving at night?" haha! That just doesn't match up to the other songs.

And also you may recall in one of their concerts the guy starts off the song by saying:

"when I was a little boy I used to talk to god, and I told him 'you motherfucker'. And he told me 'you motherfucker' and then he told me to kill rock and roll and fuck all the sexy people"

now why would he tell us that 'god' told him to kill rock and roll? God told him to kill rabbits?? Please this don't make any sense.

I'm trying to see beyond the obvious here.

To me this seems that probably 'rock and roll" represents some sort of thing that is bad in this world, and that everyone likes. (probably lies and hypocrisy?) and he killed ait and that's why he felt like an asshole because every1 hated him and didn't like that. He trid to bring some truth to the situation. And that's why he says 'god' told him to kill it.

And also about the sexy people (where does this come in with rabbits). I think sexy people are somewhat idolized in this world. And we do the same wrong things that they do (drugs? Violence in movies? Bad advertising? Lies?)

i don't know what you people think..But maybe I'm wrong. This is just a suggestion.

Thanks for reading and I hope you can rate this comment so that I have an idea what you folks think. Way to go system!!

First in, best dressed?
First in, correct, in this case.

In multiple interview daron has told of the rabbit, and yes, he did run it over at night.

'mow down the sexy people...'
even famous celebrities and people like that can make mistakes? Man, I'm stuck on this one.

I always assumed that the line "Eat all the grass that you want" was a reference to society in general, eating grass like cows or sheep. "Accidents happen in the dark", that if you are blind to the realities of the world, bad things can happen to you for your own naitivity.

On most parts I agree wit the top rated submission, however I have always fel the "eat all the grass that you want" was him feeling guilty about killing the rabbit and he wants it to come back alive and eat grass. Such as a young boy killing a bird with a slingshot and trying to get it to fly again.
