Boom! Lyrics
 Send "Boom!" Ringtone to your Cell
I'm walking through your streets
Where all your money's earning
Where all your buildings crying
And clueless neckties working
Revolving fake lawn houses
Housing all your fears
Desensitized by T.V.
Overbearing advertising
God of consumers
And all your crooked pictures looking good
Mirrors filtering information through the public eye
Designed for profit sharing
Your neighbor, what a guy
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Every time you drop a bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Modern globalization
Coupled with condemnations
Unnecessary death
Matador corporations
Puppeting your frustrations with a blinded flag
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game
The bottom line is money nobody gives a fuck
4000 hungry children
Leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs
Creating death showers
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Every time you drop a bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Every time you drop a bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Every time you drop a bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Why must we kill our own kind?
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Every time you drop a bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Every time you drop a bomb
You kill the god your child has born
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Every time you drop the bomb
Send "Boom!" Ringtone to your Cell

no, its not about gaza, its about starvation and the misuse of money all over the world: 4000 people die per hour from starvation, and billions of dollars are being spent on bombs and war-makers
typical SoaD topic hahah all of their songs are protest songs

Everyone notices these are taken straight from the SOAD website, correct?!

Does anyone else notice the similarity to "Friends" By Led Zeppelin?
There's a guitar riff that sounds an awful lot like "Friends", when they are saying, "Why must we kill our own kind?"
I just thought that was neat.
I love this song.

What some of you idiots have to realise (the ones bashing SOAD's political pov) They grew up among war and death, they've lost family memembers, and im not saying that any of you haven't, but if anyone can have anti-war and political messages in their songs, its sure as hell these guys.

This song is the fucking truth,its all true like all System Of A Down songs r,they all tell how our Goverment is fucked up,and about how like in this one theres more money spent on bombs and weapons than to save the people in the country that we dont need anymore stuff to protect.Great Song,like i said on Fuck The System,Metallica Used to be like this tell the truth and everything SOAD and Metallica think about the real people.They fucking rock,but Metallica lost it.

This song describes EXACTLY how I feel about the government especially:
"4000 hungry children
Leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs
Creating death showers"
I just never got it, and never will. Just like that lady in the video for this, she says "I don't understand why droppping bombs on children is the best way to achieve PEACE."
Just watch it.
I love SoaD.

i competely agree with you whoever said pack up and leave! last i heard you dont need money to FUCKING WALK. mexicans do it all the time across our border (god damnit). and dont give me all this shit about how poor they are, no shit they are. and they are ALL GOING TO DIE, unless they take initiative. if i lost all my money where i live, i actually WOULD get the hell out of here. although... it wudnt b hard for me to get back up again, i cud just walk to fucking socialist san francisco and theyd GIVE me money....

I actually like SOAD’s knowledge of the real world, not like F***ing Paris Hilton or freaking50 Cent…. At least SOAD knows that stuff is occurring around them and their not all money, money, who cares what happens to anyone else kind of people that I meet walking down the street ever day. Their down to earth not high on themselves because mind less zombies buy their CD’s about breaking up, getting laid or doing drugs… And about the remark on “i figured out how to solve world hunger.... pick your ass up and move to wheres there some food. you wonder why you cant find any out in the desert.”; theirs a reason their there and its because they have NO money, but I doubt you’d know what that’s about. If you lost all your money here, does that mean you should pack up you and your damn family and move you guys Chan or South West Africa Windhoek, where I stayed oh yea that’s right YOU HAVE NO MONEY TO MOVE ANY WHERE!( Hence why its poor!) Its true we spend billions of dollars on war when we could simply send 1,000$ to one poor contrary a money and we’d be saving them instead of killing people that shouldn’t be dying. I’m sure one of those people were killing off have the answer for cancer or some other deathly disease, but we’ll never know cause we sat and watched them die. No one will ever understand what its like to live there, till you go; I suggest every one days a month trip to Windhoek and visit the near by villages… JUST TRY TO LIOVE ONE DAY LIKE THAT!
SOAD is honestly the BEST ‘down to earth’ band they have amazing talent and their using it in the best way possible trying to spread the word about problems in the world so we don’t live out lives thinking the worlds perfect living in out nice cool houses playing games and on our laptops and computers.. SOAD is the best

The line "Every time you drop the bomb you kill the god your child has born" means that everytime you drop a bomb you destroy children's lives and they stop beliving in their god because they think that if there was a god he wouldnt let them go through that pain.

Ugh, I love SOAD like no other... but I really can't stand it when they preach like this. I respect anyone's opinion, and to some degree I agree with what this song is saying... but to me, SOAD has way too much excellent talent to be using it on songs like this.
They shouldn't make songs like this, it just pisses people off. Tone it down, SOAD.
