System of a Down (1998)

The Kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day Who can believe you? Who can believe you? Let your mother pray Sugar, sugar. Sugar

The piercing, radiant moon The storming of poor June All the life running through her hair Approaching guiding light Our shallow years in fright. Spiders

I had an out of body experience The other day, her name was Jesus And for her, everyone cried Everyone cried, everyone cried. Suite-Pee

I will never feed off the evergreen luster of your heart All because we all live in the valley of the walls. Know

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 every day, a man’s sport. Sugar

Dreams are made, winding Through my head Through my head Before you know, awake. Spiders

Crossed and terrored ravages of architecture Lend me thy blades We’re crossed and terrored ravages of architecture Hoist around the spade. Suite-Pee

Books all say different things while people flap their yellow wings Tryna soar, being a whore, life and almost everything Sheep that ran off from the herd, maybe dead, but now’s a bird. Know

I sit in my desolate room No lights, no music Just anger, I killed everyone I’m away forever, but I’m feeling better. Sugar

Your lives are open wide The V-chip gives them sight Of all the life running through her hair The spiders all in tune The evening of the moon. Spiders

Try her philosophy Try her philosophy, try You die for her philosophy Die for her philosophy Die her philosophy, die. Suite-Pee

On the other side, the other side, other side Do you ever try to fly? Do you ever try to fly? Have you ever wanted to die? Have you ever wanted to die?. Know

How do I feel? What do I say? Fuck you, it all goes away How do I feel? What do I say? Fuck you, it all goes away. Sugar

Toxicity (2001)

Conversion, software version 7.0 Looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub Eating seeds as a pastime activity The toxicity of our city, of our city. Toxicity

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. Aerials

Wake up, Grab a brush and put a little makeup Hide your scars to fade away the shakeup, Why’d you leave the keys upon the table? Here you go, create another fable You wanted to!. Chop Suey!

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep Disorder, disorder, disorder. Toxicity

‘Cause we are the ones that want to play Always wanna go but you never wanna stay And we are the ones that want to choose Always wanna play but you never wanna lose. Aerials

I don’t think you trust In my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die. Chop Suey!

I buy my crack, my smack, my bitch Right here in Hollywood Nearly two million Americans are incarcerated In the prison system, prison system of the US. Prison Song

You don’t care ’bout how I feel I don’t feel there anymore You don’t care ’bout how I feel I don’t feel there anymore. ATWA

More wood for their fires, loud neighbors Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck Eating seeds as a pastime activity The toxicity of our city, of our city. Toxicity

Life is a waterfall We drink from the river then we turn around and put up our walls. Aerials

You wanted to! Grab a brush and put a little makeup You wanted to! Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup You wanted to! Why’d you leave the keys upon the table? You wanted to!. Chop Suey!

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons you don’t even flinch All our taxes payin’ for your wars against the new non-rich. Prison Song

You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder?. Toxicity

Aerials in the sky When you lose small mind, you free your life Aerials, so up high When you free your eyes, eternal prize. Aerials
