WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels.
Victorious, victories kneel.
For brand new spankin' deals.
Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers.
You depend on our protection,

Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Blast off, it's party time,
And we don't live in a fascist nation,
Blast off, it's party time,
And where the **** are you?
….. Yeah
Where the **** are you?
Where the **** are you?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]

Kneeling roses disappearing,
Into Moses’ dry mouth,
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentions,
Hangars sitting dripped in oil,
Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.
La la la la la la la la la,
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.
Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Where the **** are you!
Where the **** are you!

Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don’t presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X3]
Why, do, they always send the poor [X3]
They only send the poor [x2]

As stupid as those lyrics are, yes they're trying to get us to consider something that is political. Therefore political agenda, same goes for your lyrics. They have a political agenda.
 
whats wrong with SOAD?

theres nothing right with them.

musicianship = poor and repetative
structure = same as your average pop song
lyrics = wannabe political bull.
vocals = horrendous

and yes i have listened to their old stuff. its not better.
 
They are serious musicians, but I've seen them live a couple of times and was really disappointed - they were sloppy, silly, making mistakes all over the place, like they didn't even care. Not so much Serj, but the others. I was really dissappointed with all of their live performances :( Anyone else agree/ disagree?
 
you would not believe how pist i am that i don't. My damm boyfriend got all paranoid before the show cuz he say metal detectors, so he made me put my camara bak, and once i got in i noticed that lots of people got theres in. I got screwed, but i the memory will last forever.
 
You realize how many sucessful albums Brittney Spears has put out right? So, no one here can say she sucks if they havn't put out as many sucessful albums as her?
 
Noone ever said they were insulting the military, they are against war and all yea and want to provent Genocide because it is horrific, but their not insulting the military in any way that I see......

Do you have an example?
 
I can agree that I have my head up my ass if that means I can have the opinion that there are no redeeming qualities to SOAD's music. Every aspect of their music is either annoying or bland. Serj's vocals sound akin to a raging Jim Carey, the heavier riRAB are generic nu-metal fluff, and the slightly melodic bits just aren't interesting although admittedly pretty out there for the genre. The end result is a band that just feels under done.
 
There are people that say Toxicity was a bad album? Oh my, twas effing genius, I love it . I just think Self Titled had that little bit extra...
