Sonora.ID – Berikut ini lirik lagu ‘B.Y.O.B.’ milik grup band System Of A Down yang dirillis pada tahun 2005 silam dan kembali populer di aplikasi TikTok.

Melansir Genius, “BYOB” (“Bring Your Own Bombs”) adalah single pertama yang dirilis dari album keempat band heavy metal Amerika System of a Down, Mezmerize.

Seperti lagu mereka sebelumnya “Boom!,” lagu itu ditulis sebagai protes terhadap Perang Irak.

BYOB berarti “Bawa Bom Anda Sendiri”, berlawanan dengan interpretasi umum “Bawa Minuman Anda Sendiri”, ini mengacu pada Perang Irak sebagai salah satu pesta besar untuk Amerika Serikat, di mana alih-alih Jägerbomb (minuman), mereka malah menjatuhkan bom yang asli.

Lagu ini masuk ke banyak daftar putar "Top 40" di seluruh dunia, termasuk Jerman, Selandia Baru, Australia, dan Amerika Serikat, dan kadang-kadang mencapai #1 di acara musik lainnya.

Lirik:

[Intro: Daron Malakian]

You!

Why do they always send the poor?

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

Barbarisms by Barbaras with pointed heels

Victorious Victoria’s kneel for brand new spanking deals

Marching forward, hypocritic and hypnotic computers

You depend on our protection, yet you feed us lies from the table cloth

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time

Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

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

[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh

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

[Bridge: Daron Malakian]

Blast off, it's party time

And we don't live in a fascist nation

Blast off, it's party time

And where the fuck are you?

[Refrain: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]

Where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck 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?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why they always send the poor?

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

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

[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh

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 sun

[Refrain: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]

Where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck 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?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?

They always send the poor, they always send the poor
