The general message of the song is how television feeds us propaganda. This song dropped in 1992 so internet media wasn't much of a thing yet. "A bullet in the head" is symbolic of being under control of the establishment and RATM uses that phrase in multiple songs. "They load the clip in omnicolor, they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time" invokes imagery of gun violence to say that the evening news (aka "the 9" as in 9PM, prime-time news) is "loaded" with video "clips" designed to create a narrative and control public opinion. If you believe what the media tells you, you've now got a bullet in your head.
The parental discretion thing is because the album cover is a man setting himself on fire. That’s a real photograph of a Vietnamese Monk and he dies from self immolation. And that sound you were wondering about is a guitar, it’s just that this bands guitar player uses his instrument differently than most people.
Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones. I'll subscribe if you do a YES song and so will many other YES fans.

This is spot on.
Pulling up a lyrics video, or just looking up the lyrics might help some to see what Zack has written about.
YES! This is what WOKE really means... Being awake and seeing whats going around you.
