Why do they always send the poor?
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious victorious kneel
For brand new spankin' deals
Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
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
Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
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 fuck are you?
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 do they always send the poor?
Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions
Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
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
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?
They always send the poor!
They always send the poor!

The second line is "Barbarisms by Barbaras."...
Not "My God is of Bible Blood," or whatever you posted it as.
" http://systemofadown.com/main.html#TOP " is where you can find it.

It is is sad to see you ignorant retards arguing over how it sounds over the meaning...
Who gives a fucking DAMN about how it sounds, the lyrics are key.
And I'm pretty sure it IS "Bring Your Own Bodys." Not "Bring Your Own Beer."
That just doesn't make sence.. However, I've also heard "Bring Your Own Bombs." This also makes sence, bombs could = fighting "weapons", we are the main fighting "weapons" in war so, it closely relates to "Bring Your Own Body."

whith the words of metallica "it's sad but true". those high ranking guys have more money then enyone and thats the point why were just the pawns. And the sign BYOB is stolen from BYOApartys Brind your own Alcoholics.

It means Bring Your Own Bombs. I love the lyric "why do they always send the poor". It's true, if Bush thinks this war is right then I want to see him risking his ass out there on the frontline.

This song is about our faggot "president" sending those troops into Iraq to kill and get killed just for oil.
WE CANT WIN THAT WAR!!!!!!
You are probably sitting there saying "What the fuck is he talking about we are kicking ass over there!!"
and yes we are killing many including innocent wemon and children. And after they kill enough they will come back to the US and the goverment wil be all like "yea! we won the war!" and then the next day we will be bombed again. And it will all star over again. So this war isnt helping anyone.
so all you republicans shut the fuck up about how the people choose to get drafted to war and about how it is a good thing. That's not true.
and no, im not anti american, im just anti bush. He is probably the worst president we ever had. (view comment below)

yea mabe im the only one who thinks this but i dont think BYOB stands for bring your own beer. I think it might stand for "Bring Your Own Body" referring to how Presidents solve thier problems by making the poor people fight in wars for them, rather than fighing themslves. And they lie to the people by telling them how this war involves them and how much it will effect them, when really it is his problem only and is too much of a coward to fight, so he uses people as fighting tools.
It makes perfect sense.

this song means that the president or the high rank doesnt care about the lowers as in war we are the peons know won cares of how we do the job so the song says just enjoy yourself and bring your own beer!!

Since when did start thinking this website was so... deep?
They like the song, good for them. You can't get mad at people for not talking about the message, gawd.
And yeah, thanks to that guy who said something crap about naming 5 other songs by them.. No-one ever said they couldn't, fuck off.
Urgh

quite honestly it seems to me that most of you, even those of you who think this song "fucking rocks" are complete fucking tards. not only do you not seem to give a fuck about the message that this song stands to deliver, but you argue over the vocals, which i think are just fine for anyone who isnt a complete tool. but half of you can't even spell, which leads me to wonder if you even come close to having the mental capacity to fully comprehend this songs meaning, or any of there other songs, for that matter.

I don't know what it is about system. Originally I didn't like their sound. Perhaps it was the lead vocals I didn't like, but this song shows they can evolve into whatever they choose. It's a pretty good song - has some annoying screaming that sounds more like a 16 year old than anything - other than that its not too bad. Oh yea, it's the vocals within this band that sounds like dogshit, both main and backup, but everything else sounds great.

be careful where you listen to this. You might just up and punch the nearest authority figure.
