If you have heard of the song, Down with the Sickness (Which you should have before.) then you know about that one part of the song which sounds like a case of child abuse. Although child abuse is not funny, somehow the lyrics in there are funny. i have a sick sense of humor.
And if you have not heard of the song it is by Disturbed.

Lol. That was the first song I've herd from them. I learned there lyrics first time around as well. And it is true, that in some part of the song it is about child abuse. Of course it's not funny.

This is about how society treats people who are "different." A lot of people think they are "sick" and "wrong" and want nothing to do with them.
In the middle of the song, David acts out a skit where he is being abused by his mother (not in the radio version). Finally, he builds up enough courage and hits her right back. This is used to symbolize how "mother society" abuses "her" children for not being the way "she" thinks they should. "She" keeps doing it until "her" children get sick of it and are so angry with her and themselves they go out and get revenge for it, most likely by killing the people that hurt them ("here it comes, get ready to die!").
Getting "Down With The Sickness" means accepting people for who they are so we can all function better.
