"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

This song makes me want to go outside and fight a tree

Still Hitting hard in 2024

2024 anybody?! 🤷‍♂️💪

This clip is materpiece. From the beginning till end it has message.

I remember having this on my Windows XP PC in folder with other SOAD and other nu-metal bands clips in 144p quality. Watching this was a stunning entertainment.

Who's listening in 2024😊

System Of A Down has their original genre. Never seen another band sounding like this . They are amazing!!

As of 2020, this song is relevant again

Who’s still listening in 2024

SYSTEM please come back! The world is fucked up in too many ways!!! We need new songs!

0:43 What a genius. That riff, the voice, the energy, that transition. They are unique.

[Intro: Daron Malakian] You! Why do they always send the poor? [Verse 1: Serj Tankian] Barbarisms by Barbaras with pointed heels Victorious victories 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.

Imagine if presidents were sent to fight wars, just two old dudes in a big desert fighting each other, we'd have a world peace

January 2nd and I'm here listening to this work of art, my favorite band. 🇧🇷🇦🇲

Its April 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song

The guitar in this song is eargasmic

The fact that now the video version is uncensored makes it even better.

April 2024 anyone?

How it just changes from metal to amazing vocals makes this one of the best songs ever

This song is the epitome of System of a Down. Chunky riffs, manic vocals, and deeper message. Love coming back to their stuff, truly one of a kind.

“You depend on our protection yet you feed us lies from from the tablecloth” real ass line too but we’re only talking about “why don’t presidents fight the way why do you always send the poor” they’re both very powerful

I'm 62 years old and this band has always been my jam. I'm a music aficionado and I like a lot of stuff but this band mixes angst with opera. Yeah so, blast off, It's party time has been in my head for a few days which is how I wound up here. System Of A Down is one of the greatest bands of all time.

THEY ARE BACK!!!

this song is more current now than ever. "why don't presidents fight the war? why do they always send the poor?"...

Who is still listening in 2024? This masterpiece is the more related nowadays!!! For those fcuking presidents!!! 🌏

The message is as important today as it's ever been. Keep screaming!

It's 2017 and this shit is still amazing

Serj:🤬 Daron:🤪 Shavo:😎 John:😐

This song’s lyrics gives me such chills

For those of you revisiting the glory days, welcome back. It's been a while.

2009: System of a Down 2020: System of a lockdown

I like when he goes la la la la la la

This song is more relatable than ever right now ❤️ I was too young to understand these lyrics when I first listened… now I FEEL it

Man after he say table cloth the the guitar is fire for real for real

As a great man once said.... "LALALALALA LALAAA OOOoooOOOoooOOO"

damn this song sounds like an expert level on guitar hero

Who's in 2024 ?

Still on fav list ❤ and the goosebumps are real❤

This could have been written yesterday, and still be as relevant as ever.

Is it just me or does this song just keep getting more relevant as time goes on. Love this song and video.

Anyone in 2024? 🤘

This song never fails to send shivers down my spine bro so good

I'll never forget the great English teacher who introduced this masterpiece to our class back in 2005.

My brother passed in 2016 and he used to play the drums to all the SOAD songs. This song is such a throwback and so nostalgic to me.. and here I am crying Ugh. I miss you sm, Ryan💜😭 I hope you rockin wherever you are. I know you are.

Each and every second of this masterpiece is unfiltered Truth. System of a down is the only band I've heard who use their platform and their Music to actually spread a message no other band on Earth do it like them. What Legends Bless you guys

SOAD These people are a real kind heart human being! Love this band.❤

This song makes me want to go to the party and have a real good time.

This was my dads favorite System of a Down song, he passed away last year ,and whenever i play his favorite bands i feel his presence and love stronger than ever. Love you dad .

This masterpiece says alot if you are listening.

This song is far too relevant and should be blasted down the streets at full volume. Thank you guitar hero for keeping it real 🤙

2:00 All these years later, I'm still amazed how well Daron & Serj's voices meld together there!

"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" Really the most relevant statement in any war.

Might be one of the greatest 2000s bands ever

Absolutely timeless (in a good way and a sad way)

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.

"-How is that song called? -Which one? -The one that goes like 0:50"

Serj Tankian has an amazing voice ❤

The voice behind the main voice during “everybody’s going to the party have a real good time” cooks the piece in that part tbh

These guys never get old...

song is a timeless masterpiece. The instrumentation, lyrics, and message are all timeless. this song was released in the mid 2000s yet so many aspects of it sound modern still, even the flow in the breakdown sounds modern

this band is amazing

So accurate for these times .very deep

2005: great song 2009: still a great song 2020: ya bet it's a great song

Played this during a party.... everybody started to have real good time

This song is perfect for metallics, this is perhaps the best song by From system of Down ❤

Iran vs Israel

5 years of searching “la la la la ohh ohh” on google and finally they come up with the voice search my life is now complete

I was in the U.S. Army in 2007 & we were not allowed to listen to this song unofficially but now I understand why. We should of never gone there bro....

And here we are, listening to this instead of resisting. *bong rip*

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!!!!

Musically pleasing, with a good underlying context behind the lyrics, absolutely a banger

Nostalgia?

Best guitar riff I’ve ever heard

I enjoy watching this beautiful song thank you for sharing it with us

2005/2006 runescape pk videos

Still a killer hit, sad part is the older you get the more real this song becomes

Maaaan this song brings back memories. Coming home from school, jumping on the couch, switching to MTV and praying Head Banger's Ball was on! And if if was, you could guarantee this song and other SOAD hits would make an appearance. How I got into this music as a kid (back when MTV actually played music...flipping between then and VH1 if I was desperate haha)

Only bad thing of this music is it end❤

System will never go off my playlist

I really love how active this comment section is after 11 years Edit: The fact that this comment hit 1 k likes in 2 weeks makes me happy thinking that metal can be so alive after all this years and that even if it s not mainstream it will be always #1 for a lot of people, like me Keep rockin' 🤘 2021 and still going strong

I love the drums in the song

We need you more than ever in these times and you just left us....

Mom would pull me up to school in 2010 with this blasting and I'd get out feeling like a badass. RIP you wonderful woman

I have never been into metal, but right now I'm trying to get into it. Because it seems that metal bands are the only musicians with talent these days who make quality music. I love this song.

oooh my helena.....these pple never dissapoint...watching this for the first ttime and many of their albums2024....these pple wow surprised me so much

😮 one of the best bands EVER ❤️

Honestly, this song is timeless. No matter what decade this song relates to something

0% dead bodies 0% deadly torture methods 50% screaming 100% !!WHERE!! !!DAFUQ!! R U

The best lines by far

Definitely one of the best 3 legendary bands ever! And I always wanted to see them in person never got the chance They had some of the most Iconic 80's videos thanks to there standout styles anf Gibbons badass cars and the sexy models with their Legs Rip Dusty you are missed brother!😊😢🎉 ❤

System Of A Down has one of the most underrated drummers around.

Wild Abra uses teleport. WHY! DO! THEY ALWAYS TELEPORT? WHY! DO! THEY ALWAYS TELEPORT?

This is clear masterpiece.

i love how soad drummer always angry

This song is so current, it doesn't matter when you read this

Who's watching in 2017?

Só tenho agradecer a radio cidade que me apresentou esses caras nos anos 2000

who’s watching in 2024 👇🏻

The chorus is so sardonic. I love how the final one is literally SLASHED by the "Where the f*ck are you???", they are literally trying to get people out of their trance, and this is reflected in the song's structure. Masterpiece.
