System Of A Down - System Of A Down lyrics



Tracks



01. Suite-Pee

I had an out of body experience, the other day
Her name was Jesus
And for her everyone cried, everyone cried, everyone cried

Try her philosophy x 3 Try
You die for her philosophy, Die for her philosophy, die her philosophy die

Crossed and terrored ravages of architecture lend me thy blades
We're crossed and terrored ravages of architecture hoist around the spade

Try her philosophy x 3 Try
You die for her philosophy, die for her philosophy, die her philosophy die

Die...die...die...why...

Lie naked on the floor
And let the messiah go through our souls
Lie naked on the floor
And let the messiah go all through our souls

Die, like a mother fucker x 3
Why, like a mother fucker
I want to fuck my way to the garden
'Cause everyone needs a mother, fucker!

The following of a christ x 4
The falling of christ x 4

02. Know

Cursed Earth x 4

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, you never think you know why
Know x 3

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

You never think you know - why
Know, you never think you know - why
Know, you never think you know why
Know

On the other side x 2
The other side
Do you ever try to fly x 2
Have you ever wanted to die ? x 2
Don't ever try to fly x 2
Don't ever try to fly, unless you leave your body on the other side
Never try to die x 2

Know, you never think you know - why
Know, you never think you know - why
Know, you never think you know - why
Know, ever think you know why
Know

03. Sugar

Refrain:
The kombucha mushroom people
Sitting around all day
Who can believe you x 2
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 want to be
It's already where I am
Cause I'm already there

Refrain

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 fucken kick her, and then, oh baby, she's O.K. - 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.

Refrain

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
x 8

In the end it all goes away x 4

04. Suggestions

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, it's all over
It's all over

05. Spiders

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
Before you know, awake

Through my head x 2
Before you know x 2
I will be waiting all awake
Dreams are made winding through her hair x 2

06. D-Devil

Plagiarized existence exist
Among the writers of the word
Shake your spear at Shakespeare x 2

Loud and noisy
Strong refrigerators
Gaining independence x 2

Stupid people do stupid things
Smart people outsmart each other
Then themselves x 4

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 x 4

Take me down there
Photographic relapse
People feeding frenzy
The devil is so lovely
x 2

07. Soil

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 mother-fuckin head
Confidence, death, insecurity
Men fall unrealized

Unrealized x 2

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
Reasons undefined, reasons undefined

Friends for years images in red
Blew off his own mother-fuckin head
Confidence, death, insecurity
Men fall unrealized

Don't you realize
Evil, lives in the mother-fucking skin
Don't you realize
Evil, lives in the mother-fucking skin
Don't you, realize, evil
Lives in the mother-fucking skin
Don't you, realize, that evil
Lives in the skin

Don't you, realize, evil
Lives in the mother-fucking skin
Don't you, realize, that evil
Lives in the mother-fucking skin

08. War?

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 x 4

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 x 8

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, destroy, destroy
International security
The call of the righteous man
Needs a reason to kill a 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 x 4

We will fight the heathens x 8

09. Mind

Let me fear you
Look at each other x 8

Go away x 4

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 x 4

Now you need the one you love and love the ones that you need
Need the one you love and love the ones you need

Lives rearranged and lives in my range can you see x 2

Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame, hate
For Fate's Seed

Why x 4
Gonna let you mother fuckers die x 4

Look at each other x 3

10. Peephole

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 x 2
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 x 2
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky x 2
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high
Don't you ever get stuck in the sky x 6
Don't ever get stuck in the sky, when you're high

11. Cubert

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 x 4
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 x 4
Humans everywhere, canned
Cliché people organs rare
Humans everywhere, canned
Cliché people cannot dare
Humans everywhere, canned
Cliché people organs rare
Humans everywhere, canned
Cliché people cannot dare, dare, dare, dare

12. Darts

May I please remain in this space
For darts screech by my desires
May I please remain in this space
For darts screech by my desires

Art thou not human man x 8
Not human man art thou

Life threatening lifestyles
A hitman, a nun, lovers
Life threatening lifestyles
A hitman, a nun, lovers

Arise as did the god's ninti x 3
And ishkur, ishkur

Clock men for they will fail
Fear not the gods that come from the sky
Long not for the one who've lost their way x 2

Arise as did the god's ninti x 3
And ishkur, ishkur

13. P.L.U.C.K.

Elimination x 3
Why, Die 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 x 2

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

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 Of Down...Down...Down...Down..
Walk Down...Walk Down..

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

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 Of Down
