Seriously. When we heard it on the radio last night, she got all excited because she thought we'd have at least one song in common that we liked. I had to explain to her I don't like fag shit radio rock.

Over the course of four albums, that dude's vocals have gotten worse. "la-la-la-la-la-la wooooo-hoooooo, everybody going to the party have a real good time". You fucking kidding me?

Shit. :yuk:;)
 
Man, I hate that damn song, but do find myself enjoying quite a bit of their other material. The thing that irks me the most, about their new album, is that Serj feels the need to sing ALL THE FUCKING TIME instead of letting the instrumentation do the work sometimes. He so has the ability to kill quality riffs.
 
That radio song shits me beyond belief, im a fan of there first album but thats pretty much where it ends for me. They have always had that joking element to them but the new mterial has gone to far in my opinion.

but hey you could use this as grounds for a divorce if the time should arise.
 
Yeah, that song is annoying and the party lyric is idiotic, but I don't find their music offensive even if they just happen to be terrible songwriters IMO...but every time some critic on the major label payroll wets himself over them, I feel like going postal...
 
The other night in the car was actually the first time I had heard it, since I never ever listen to the radio. But the band was instantly recognizable because of the crap vocals.

Maybe the lyrics have some deep Armenian meaning or something to the band, but that song is prime night club fodder what with the "party" lyrics.

SOme of the riffs from the debut (which is the only one I've heard in its entirety) are OK for radio piss rock, I guess, but yeah, that dude needs to shut his trap. Go instrumental or something.
 
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA OOOOOOOEOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

here's the lyrics and shit:

Why do they always send the poor?
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 tablecloth
La la la la la la la la la la
Everybody is 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
Hangars sitting, dripped in oil

Crying freedom!
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
la la la la la la la la la la
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is 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 a obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
la la la la la la la la la la
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is 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?
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!

ohhhhhhhhhh yeah this is one song i kinda like from the new one. shit ain't toxicity though, and yeah, he does sing too much on the new one. constant vocals generally kill music.
 
Papa Josh said:
LMFAO that some actually thought he was referring to a "party".

It's SOAD, so it's obvious he's not talking about a "party" in the truest sense of the word, because you know, SOAD is like deep, man. :rolleyes:

But all the kiddies and fans will most likely think this is a party song, and not give one hoot about the lyrics, unless they already know SOAD's tiresome political songs.
