system of a down - live @ whisky a go-go (1997) lyrics

[know | 0:00]
(alright!)
cursed earth!
cursed earth!
cursed earth!
cursed earth!
i will never feed off the evergreen l+ster of your heart
all because we all live in the valley of the walls
when they speak, we can peek 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, know, know, know
(ah!)
books all say different things while people flap their yellow wings
tryna soar, bеing a wh0re, life and almost evеrything
sheep that ran off from the herd, maybe dead, but now’s a bird
able to fly, able to die, able to f+ck your mother’s earth
you never think you know why
know, you never think you know why
know, ever think you know why
know
on the other side, the other side, the 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?
don’t ever try to fly, 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, did you ever try to die?
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
([?] whisky!)
(we’re system of a down)
[war? | 2:54]
(how can you go at war?!
sending millions of funds by the cia
for death squads in nicaragua?)
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, we will fight the heathens
we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
was it the riches of the land, powers of bright darkness
that lead the n0bles to the east to fight the heathens
we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
now, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
now, we will 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, destroy it, destroy it
no international security, no call of the righteous man
needs a reason to k!ll 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
of war, we don’t speak anymore
of war, we don’t speak anymore
of war, we don’t speak anymore
we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
now, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
now, we will fight the heathens, we will fight the heathens
[mind | 5:30]
(if i could control your mind
then i could control your will
if i can control your will
then i could control your desires
if i can control your desires!
i can control your destiny
look at each other
look at each other
look at each other)
oh, baby, come close to me
let me touch you
look at each other, look at each other
look at each other, look at each other
look at each other, look at each other
look at each other, look at each other
go away, go away
go away, go away!
(ah!)
well now mutually, mentally molested children of a mother
mutually, mentally molested children of sin
oh no, the ever so popular beating that took you under
oh no, the ever so popular beating that broke your skin
free thinkers are dangerous
blame! hate!
for fate’s seed!
go away, go away
go away, go away!
(ah!)
now, you need the ones you love, love the ones that you need
need the ones you love and love the ones you bleed
lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
free thinkers are dangerous
blame! hate!
for fate’s seed!
die! die! die! die!
gonna let you mother f+ckers die!
gonna let you mother f+ckers die!
gonna let you mother f+ckers die!
gonna let you mother f+ckers die!
look at each other
look at each other!
look at each other
look at each other
[honey | 11:40]
(you ungrateful f+cking wh0re!)
time is always now here forever
time is always now gone, never
god is now the ruler of the present
his son a lesson, born of a peasant
here, now, forever
happiness ends at the end of a beautiful tunnel
now, forever
run, run, run away, to a land far away
where the hills are green and the water is gray
maria ran with passion, not seen in women
thanks for the bigger life and it’s forceful
daddy, no longer the man, no matter
due is her freedom for loneliness with the dollar
no longer the man, no matter
i’ve been poisoned by god
the devil of money
i will never marry, ’til i’m ready
to be a perfect man
husband of a dream
well, honey, the babysitter’s here
honey, it’s 8 o’clock
sweet honey, the babysitter’s here, honey?
honey! the babysitter’s here!
honey! it’s 8 o’clock!
honey! it’s 8 o’clock! it’s 8 o’clock!
(that was a love song)

[temper | 14:22]
(country without a race
formed from people you disgrace
white right conservative might
k!llers of kennedy’s with no fright!
the american way!)
now, we want peace with patriot missiles
blown to bits are civilian targets
parade, laugh, rejoice, sing
we’re the victors of nothing
spend more money on a war
your people starving, turned to wh0res
slaves of the chosen ones
paying millions for each bomb
country without a race!
formed from people you disgrace!
white right conservative might!
k!llers of kennedy’s with no fright!
the american way!
freedom cried the marching man
flags ripped out of their black hands
beaten, slain, tortured, k!lled
their only mistake was being born here
invade countries just for oil
send your troops all down to boil
iraq, grenada, ‘nam and chile
truman doctrine, our own way
country without a race!
formed from people you disgrace!
white right conservative might!
k!llers of kennedy’s with no fright!
the american way!
government, cia, suck my b+lls
policing the world in overalls
armed rebellion, minority
disrespected race, color mind
crazed loonies all walk the streets
missing children on milk cartons
mother selling child for crack
mr. president, check your back
country without a race
formed from people you disgrace!
white right conservative might!
k!llers of kennedy’s with no fright!
the american way!
the american way!
the american way

[marmalade | 17:14]
(this next song is a brand+new song)
(huh? the f+ck was that?)
(this next song is a brand+new song, called, “marmalade”)
(spread it)
stretching, filing, against her skin
blessed are those who are not kin
in sin, we breathe; in s+x, we tie
duct tape her legs to the red sky
foolsome flesh allowances
the pansies raided the pantry of
gabardine dreams, promiscuous
delight, deny not the flavor
custard dreams
abusing, musing
marmalade flesh
naked spread am i, am i
a day can be total wasteland
[?]
people hang up to the picture
people hang up to the [bible?]
actors of the tragic phantom
extend your legs for great saturn
brown tabletops scream for cover
at the sight of your new lover
if today i die
and can’t deny
the poison chosen
for tonight, tonight
borrowed dreams, hollowed reveries
metal pillows, pewter yellows
furry roadk!ll, house on the hill
pouring gravy on her thighs still
if today i die
and can’t deny
the poison chosen
for tonight, tonight

[soil | 20:48]
(the soil still thirsts for the blood of its lost children
the soil still thirsts for the blood of your lost children)
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 motherf+cking head
confidence, death, insecurity
the men fall unrealized
unrealized, unrealized
making a decision of death while everyone around you plead
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 motherf+cking head
confidence, death, insecurity
the men fall unrealized
realize
realize
unrealize
don’t you realize evil lives in the motherf+cking skin?
don’t you realize that evil lives in the motherf+cking skin?
why the f+ck did you take him away from us, you motherf+cker?
f+cker

[blue | 24:12]
(for those of you who are still in love
i give you “blue”)
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i don’t see nothing but pain and misery
because you are the one for me
why can’t it all be true?
can i escape with my blue fallen reverie
why can’t it all be true, why can’t it all be true?
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
suddenly i believe, you were the one for me
graciously, you go through my closed heart’s artery
can i escape with my blue fallen reverie
why can’t it all be true, why can’t it all be true?
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i don’t see nothing but pain and misery
because you are the one for me
why can’t it all be true?
can i escape with my blue fallen reverie
why can’t it all be true, why can’t it all be true?
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
i’m wishing and wishing away at you, god
wishing and wishing away at you, god
wishing and wishing away at you, god
wishing and wishing away at you, god
wishing and wishing away at you, god
at you, god, at you, god
at you, god, at you, god

[suite+pee | 28:17]
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, try her philosophy
try her philosophy, 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, try her philosophy
try her philosophy, try
you die for her philosophy, die for her philosophy
die her philosophy, die
(die, mother f+cker!)
die! die! die! why!?
lie naked on the floor and
let the messiah go through our souls

let the messiah go all through our souls (hahaha)

i wanna f+ck my way to the garden

the following of a christ

the falling of christ

[peephole | 30:49]
(i see a peephole
i see an island
i see a palm tree
i see the sun
hazey, lazy, baked
the suns about f+cking getting high)
when your stars are baked, and your rivers fly
do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky
when your castle breaks and your feet are dry
do you ever believe you were stuck 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
(i smell it)
when your moon is fake and your mermaid’s cry
do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky
when your tunnel fades and your guide is shy
do you ever believe you were stuck in the sky
baby, 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
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
high, high, high, high, high, high, high
don’t you ever get stuck in the sky
don’t you ever get stuck in the sky
don’t you ever get stuck in the sky
don’t you ever get stuck in the sky
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

[darts | 34:52]
(this is going to be our last song, it’s called “darts”
we’re playing july 30th at the viper room
we’re not playing the opium, then there’s a misprint in the paper
so, if you see the opium there, we’re not playing there
i wanna thank the other bands that are playing with us
and we’ve got kingpin coming up next, so stick around
we’ve got a booth back there, mailing list, t+shirts, [?]
f+cking name everything)
may i please remain in this sp+ce
for darts screech by my desires
may i please remain in this sp+ce
for darts screech by my desires

thanks, sako! that was a good gun (sako)
my girl, you know, she lashes out at me sometimes
and i just f+cking hit her
and then, ooh baby, she’s okay (sugar)
people are always chasing me down
tryna push my face to the ground
where all they do is suck out my motherf+cking brains

the kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day
who can believe you? who can believe you?
let your mother pray
(woo!)
i sit in my desolate room
no lights, no music
just anger, i k!lled everyone
i’m away forever, but i’m feeling better
how do i feel? what do i say?
f+ck you, it all goes away!
how do i feel? what do i say?
f+ck you, it all goes away!
how do i feel? what do i say?
in the end, it all goes away
how do i feel? what do i say?
in the end, it all goes away
how do i feel? what do i say?
in the end, it all goes away
how do i feel?
how do i feel? what do i say?
in the end, 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
in the end, it all goes away
