"Sillyworld" (stylized in all lowercase) is the third single from

assault rifles. According to the Roadrunner Records website: "The video for Stone Sour's 'Silly World' takes a crack at all the bullshit going on in the world today...apathy, tyranny, poverty, violence, and greed are all targets."[1]

The lyrics are a critique of how ideas are becoming nothing but symbols through media corruption, and then dying off as they lose their significance. It speaks of instances such as love becoming "Just a song," or peace being "Just two fingers now... just a phase." Similar to "Through Glass", the content of the song is angry and has rebellious undertone, despite its softer, slower instrumental style.

The song was first time performed live on the 16 November 2007 at Pumpehuset in Copenhagen, Denmark.
