{system of a down}
Announce your anthems on the ceiling
We dance annexed by power
Casual neckties embrace
The hungry hunger further
Images rule through the media
Commercial Orwellianism producing unveiled icebergs
Running transparent electrical cables
Curving string ensembles witnessed by hangings
From flagpoles of souls annexed by Dr.Clock
Fresh paint
Naked melting figures mixing the revolution against TV sentencing
At the hands of brutal men and their military business world
Let us instigate the revolt
Down with the system!
{01.suite-pee [2:31]}
I had an out of body experience the other day
Her name was Jesus
And for everyone cried
Everyone cried
Everyone cried
Try her philosophy
Try
You die for her philosophy
Die for her philosophy
Die her philosophy
Die
Die
Lie naked on the floor
And let the messiah go all through our souls
Die
Like a motherfucker
I want to fuck my way to the garden
‘Cause everyone needs a mother…fucker
The following of Christ
The following of Christ
The falling of Christ
The falling of Christ{^v^} {02.know [2:56]}
I will never feed off the evergreen luster of your heart
All because we all live in the valley of the walls
When we speak we can peak from the windows of their mouths
To see the land
The women chant as they fly up to the sun
You never think you know why
Know
You never think you know why
Know
Ever think you know why?
Know
Books all say different things while people flap their yellow wings
Trying to soar by being a whore of life and almost everything
The sheep that ran off from the herd may be dead but now's a bird
Able to fly
Able to die
Able to fuck your mother’s earth
On the other side
Do you ever try to fly?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Don’t ever try to fly
Don’t ever try to fly unless you leave your body on the other side
Never try to die
You ever try to die?
Know
You never think you know why{^v^} {03.sugar [2:33]}
The Kombucha mushroom people
Sitting around all day
Who can believe you?
Who can believe you?
Let your mother pray?
[Sugar]
Well I'm not there all the time you know
Some people, some people, some people,
Call it insane, yeah they call it insane, (sugar)
I play Russian roulette everyday, a man's sport,
With a bullet called life, yeah called life,(sugar)
You know that every time I try to go where I really wanna be
It’s already where I am
‘Cause I’m already there
I got a gun the other day from Sako
It's cute, small, fits right in my pocket
[Yeah right in my pocket]
[Sugar]
My girl you know she lashes out at me sometimes
And I just fucking kick her and then she's okay
She's okay
[Sugar]
People are always chasing me down
Trying to push my face to the ground
Where all they really want to do
Is suck out my mother fucking brains
My brains
[Sugar]
I sit in my desolate room
No lights
No music
Just anger
I've killed everyone
I'm away forever but I'm feeling better
How do I feel?
What do I say?
Fuck you
It all goes away
How do I feel?
What do I say?
In the end it all goes away
In the end it all goes away{^v^} {04.suggestions [2:44]}
Watching
From a post up high
From where you see the ships afar
From a well trained eye
The waves all keep on crashing by
If you are the light post
Then you own the working class
But if you want the answers
You better give a piece of ass
Give a piece of your ass
Warning
Post hypnotic suggestions
Running the ships ashore
The orange light that follows
Will soon proclaim itself a god
If you point your questions
The fog will surely chew you up
But if you want the answers
You better get ready for the fire
Get ready for the fire
The ships are multiplying day after day sir
And they're coming close to the shore sir
Shore sir
We need to evacuate the light post
It’s all over
Over
It’s all over{^v^} {05.spiders [3:35]}
The piercing radiant moon
The storming of poor June
All the life running through her hair
Approaching guiding light
Our shallow years in fright
Dreams are made winding through my head
Through my head
Before you know
Awake
Your lives are open wide
The V-chip gives them sight
All the life running through her hair
The spiders all in tune
The evening of the moon
Dreams are made winding through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Before you know
Before you know I will be waiting all awake
Dreams are made winding through her hair{^v^} {06.ddevil [1:43]}
Plagiarized existence exist
Among the writers of the word
Shake your spear at Shakespeare
Shake your spear at Shakespeare
Loud and noisy
Strong refrigerators
Gaining independence
Gaining independence
Stupid people do stupid things
Smart people outsmart each other
Then themselves
Then themselves
Take me down there
Photographic relapse
People feeding frenzy
The devil is so lovely
My blue moon rivets in exits
Forewarned customary spirits
By myself
By myself{^v^} {07.soil [3:25]}
The phoenix he helped create
Out of control boy without a dad
Shot the gun that startled my life
While I drove him with a forty-five
Friends for years
Images in red
Blew off his own motherfucking head
Confidence
Death
Insecurity
Men fall unrealized
Unrealized
Making a decision of death
While everyone around you pled
Now you fly in peace
I hope my friend
A man can’t avoid what he’s meant to do
When he’s meant to do it
Even if he doesn’t really want to
My memories are of fun and friendship
Of weakness within the strength of youth
For reasons undefined
Reasons undefined
Don’t you realize evil lives in the motherfucking skin?
Why the fuck did you take him away from us you motherfucker?{^v^} {08.war [2:40]}
Dark is the light
The man you fight
With all your prayers
Incantations
Running away
A trivial day of judgment and deliverance
To whom was sold this bounty soul
A gentile or a priest?
Who victored over, the Seljuks
When the holy land was taken
We will fight the heathens
Was it the riches of the land
Powers of bright darkness?
That lead the noble to the East to fight the heathens?
We will fight the heathens
We must call upon our bright darkness
Beliefs
They're the bullets of the wicked
One was written on the sword
For you must enter a room to destroy it
International security
Call of the righteous man
Needs a reason to kill man
History teaches us so
The reason he must attain
Must be approved by his God
His child
Partisan brother of war
Of war
We don't speak anymore
We will fight the heathens{^v^} {09.mind [6:16]}
Look at each other
Go away
Mutually mentally molested children of a Mother
Mutually mentally molested children of Sin
The ever so popular beating that took you under
The ever so popular beating that broke your skin
Free thinkers are dangerous,
Blame
Hate
For fate's Seed
Go away
Need the one you love and love the ones you need
Need the one you love and love the ones you bleed
Lives rearranged and lives in my range can you breath
Lives rearranged and lives in my range can you see
Why?
Gonna let you mother fuckers die
Why?
Look at each other{^v^} {10.peephole [4:04]}
When your stars are baked and your rivers fly
Do you ever believe you were stuck out in the sky?
When your castle breaks and your feet are dry
Do you ever believe you were stuck out in the sky?
Do you believe when you're high
That your life is tried?
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky?
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky?
Don't ever get stuck in the sky when you're high?
When your moon is fake and your mermaids cry
Do you ever believe you were stuck out in the sky?
When your tunnel fades and your guide is shy
Do you ever believe you were stuck out in the sky?
Do you believe when you're high
That your life is tried?
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky?
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky?
Don't ever get stuck in the sky when you're high?{^v^} {11.CUBErt [1:49]}
Preflight delight
Defaced street lights
A pyramid mind fuck
Don't leave your seats now
Popcorn everywhere
Canned
Cliché people - organs rare
Corn everywhere canned
Cliché people - organs rare
Rare
I want to be a fallen ruby
Guest vibrations
Don't leave your seats now
Humans everywhere
Canned
Cliché people - organs rare
Humans everywhere, canned
Cliché people cannot dare
Dare{^v^} {12.darts [2:42]}
May I please remain in this space?
For darts screech by my desires
Art thou not human man?
Not human man art thou
Life threatening lifestyles
A hitman
A nun
Lovers
Arise as did the gods
Ninti
And Ishkur
Clock me for they will fail
Fear not the gods that come from the sky
Long not for the one who’ve lost their way
Can you tell me?
I don’t know{^v^} {13.p.l.u.c.k [3:38]}
Elimination
Die
Why
Walk down
A whole race Genocide
Taken away all of our pride
A whole race Genocide
Taken away
Watch them all fall down
Revolution
The only solution,
The armed response of an entire nation
Revolution
The only solution,
We've taken all your shit now it's time for restitution
Recognition
Restoration
Reparation
Watch them all fall down
The plan was mastered and called ‘Genocide’
[Never want to see you around]
Took all the children and then we died
[Never want to see you around]
The few that remained were never found
[Never want to see you around]
All in a system
Down
Walk down
Watch them all fall down
The plan was mastered and called ‘Genocide’

Took all the children and then we died

They're trying to build a prison
Following the rights movement
You clamped on with your iron fist
Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids
I buy my crack
I smack my bitch
Right here in Hollywood
[Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated in the prison system
Prison system of the US
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
[For you and me to live in]
Another prison system
[For you and me]
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
You don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich
The percentage of Americans in the prison system
Prison system
Has doubled since 1985
They're trying to build a prison
[For you and me to live in]
Another prison system
For you and I
They're trying to build a prison
For you and me
Oh baby you and me
All research and successful drug policy
Shows that treatment should be increased And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimum sentences
Utilising drugs to pay for secret wars around the world
Drugs are now your global policy now you police the globe
Drug money is used to rig elections
And train brutal corporate sponsored dictators around the world{^v^} {02.needles [3:13]}
I cannot disguise all the stomach pains
And the walking of the cranes
When you do come out
And you whisper up to me in your life of tragedy
But I cannot grow till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free?
And you
A parasite Just find another host Just another fool to roast ’Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do
You
My tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass
Hey
I cannot deny
All the evil traits and the filling of the crates
When you, do come out
And you slither up to me in your pimping majesty
But I cannot grow till you eat the last of me
Oh when will I be free?
And you
A parasite
Just find another host Just another stool to post ‘Cause you
My tapeworm tells me what to do You
My tapeworm tells me where to go
Pull the tapeworm out of your ass
Hey
Pull the tape worm out of me
I'm just sitting in my room with a needle in my hand
Waiting for the tomb of some old dying man{^v^} {03.deer dance [2:55]}
Circumventing circuses
Lamenting in process to visible police
Presence sponsored fear
Battalions of riot police with rubber bullet kisses
Baton courtesy
Service with a smile
Beyond the Staples center you can see America
With it's tired poor avenging disgrace
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic existence
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Round
Round
A rush of words pleading to disperse
Upon your naked walls
Alive
A political call
The fall guy accord
We can't afford to be neutral on a moving train
Push them around
A deer dance
Invitation to peace
War staring you in the face
Dressed in black with a helmet
Fierce
Trained and appropriate for the malcontents
For the disproportioned malcontents
The little boy smiled
It'll all be well
The little boy smiled it'll all be well
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Push the weak around{^v^} {04.jet pilot [2:06]}
Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot
One that smiled when he flew over the bay
My horse is a shackled old man
His
His remorse was that he couldn't survey
The skies right before
Right before they went gray
My horse and my remorse
Flying over a great bay
My source is the source of all creation
Her discourse is that we all don't survey
The skies right before
Right before they go gray
My source and my remorse
Flying over a great bay
Where were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot
One that smiled when he flew over the bay?{^v^} {05.x [1:58]}

Grab a brush and put a little makeup

Father into your hands

In your heart forsaken me

I went out on a date with a girl a bit late
She had so many friends
[Gliding through many hands]
I brought my pogo stick just to show her a trick
She had so many friends
[Gliding through many hands]
Unannounced twister games
All players with no names
They lined up double quick
But just one pogo stick
Everyone gets to play
Runaway exposé
It was so exotic
But just one pogo stick
Oh I like to spread you out
Touching whoever's behind{^v^} {08.forest [4:00]}
Walk with me my little child
To the forest of denial
Speak with me my only mind
Walk with me until the time
And make the forest turn to wine
You take the legend for a fall
You saw the product
Why can't you see that you are my child?
Why don't you know that you are my mind?
Tell everyone in the world that I'm you
Take this promise to the end of you
Walk with me my little friend
Take this promise to the end
Speak with me my only mind
Walk with me until the end
And make the forest turn to sand
You take the legend for a fall
You saw the product
Take this promise for a ride
You saw the forest now come inside
You took the legend for it's fall
You saw the product of it all
No televisions in the air
No circumcisions on the chair
You made the weapons for us all
Just look at us now{^v^} {09.atwa [2:56]}

Life is a waterfall
We’re one in the river and one again after the fall
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all…
‘Cause we are the ones that want to play
Always want to go but you never want to stay
And we are the ones that want to choose
Always want to play but you never want to lose
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind you free your life
Life is a waterfall
We drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls
Swimming through the void
We hear the word
We lose ourselves but we find it all...
Aerials in the sky
When you lose small mind
Aerials so up high
When you free your eyes eternal prize
