This song makes reference to prostitution caused by the drug selling, in which, according to the songs, people go to prostitution to afford money to buy drugs, like heroin; as is said in the lyrics, "Me and heroin maybe we can make some cash / Selling ass / Selling ass for heroin".

The last interpritation makes sense if you think about it. It is talking about how guys go out with girls, and spend all this money on them. When he says 'selling ass for heroin' he is saying that all this money that you work hard for 8 hours a day, is thrown away on her, just like a heroin addict would be throwing his money away to buy heroin. God I hope I just made sense.

I think that the "chinese tricks in rooms with ghosts of hooker girly dudes" part brings an image of an old rent-by-the-hour hotel.

I am no expert on this but I think that the victorian era's sexual hang-ups were brought down in part by literature which 'imported' oriental erotiscm from the east. So I would associate "chinese tricks" i.e. chinese bedroom tricks with both the sexual revolution and sexual repression.

I would say "ghosts of hooker girly dudes" is referring literally to dead transvestite prostitutes in other words people consumed by drugs and prostitution; victims of modern culture.

So I think that the "chinese tricks in rooms with ghosts of hooker girly dudes" part is about how people can be consumed by modern culture.

System of a down were raised in hollywood.
in which they had deep and seeing eyes.
but hollywood is a plastic city
in which this song explains is like..
heroin is a feeling of belonging and happiness..
sad in hollywood you have to sell yourself.

sellout and sell your soul for happiness that is the thinking of hollywood. and well that mindrot has spread further then just there.

hollywood and babylon are one in the same.

well, i thought its about him making money for herion from prostution... i think "shes like herion" means other people are addicted to her... but he also says "I need someone to help make cash selling ass for heroin" so that sort of implies he's selling the prostitute for the drugs
