"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" Is one of the most powerful rhymes I've ever heard

Cuz this is why they exist. No president, senator, no politicians will ever care about the people. We're only paws for then and their desires...

as I see it, maybe sound conspiranoid, why would any president want the earth erased in nuclear destruction? none of them, they got so much "materialistically speaking" to lose that they won't risk it, they only care about those number$ increasing, war nowadays its just bussiness and a pretext to lessen economic regulation, specifically on weapons and maybe laundering smth, who knows?

When I was 15 years old, I was laying in a bathtub ready to end my life.... I had a radio playing on the sink counter, one of those old school ones with the long antenna sticking up LOL, playing on the only rock station for El Paso Texas....95.5 klaq... I had already been a huge fan of System of a down, but sitting there in that moment, when I heard the DJ announce "and here's the newest song from System of a down, byob" come on, I stopped what I was doing, and decided I wanted to hear it, and after decided i wanted to hear it again, which back in the day meant waiting through the rotation... I really love to believe sometimes, that music saved my life, and hope it does the same for others...... For reference, I am 34 now, with children of my own, living a pretty good life ❤️ raising my little metal punk kids who are totally respectful menaces to society LMFAO😂😂😂😂 thank you for your time if you've read this, and remember, all feelings are temporary!!!!

democrasy shit. a lot of "self-righteous" kings of the dark ages lie on ground with his peasant soldiers but our democrat leaders of "the people" are too important for to die in a battleground. i think if the kings had oppurnity of sending kids to school after their 5 age, they'll think either monarchy is the best goverment type for human honour. but we're living in republics so we think republics are best.

@@luluna5228 Why is it that the people that declare the wars never have to fight them

[@XyraSelene]

Exactly. They won’t even let their family sign up for anything. Nothing. If there is a draft, guess who’s not a citizen here but are in Barbados or some other exotic place. They use dog whistle words like us and freedom and respect and we are better. Everyone wants to come to 😮America. We are just a fancy lie dressed in a beautiful facade with a silver tongue. Actually they aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. Some just come out and say it like jfk speaking of secret governments that are the ones calling the shots. It’s collapsing though and that scares me because we don’t even belong to ourselves. The autonomy they promised, was sold ages ago. Smh 😔

[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.

This song gives you much needed breaks in between the intensity of the heavy guitar riffs and pulsating drums. Then at one point when you feel almost relieved because you think the song is over, it explodes back to life and shoves the controlled chaos right down your throat again against your will and you can't help but love every second of it. People are calling this song a "Masterpiece" and I have to agree.

Lol, not really at all, look at the GH chart and then tab on Songsterr side by side. Playing this song on real guitar is a lot easier than it is on guitar hero. Anyone can sit down and play a song on guitar with a tab, just like anyone can sit down and play it on GH, GH will take longer though.

Slaytallica You've never played guitar before right? If you think that you can play perfectly a song the first time you read the tab then ,my friend, you are really dumb.
