Boom! (Video Version) Lyrics by System Of A Down

Boom! — Single

2003

[Intro]
"Supposedly about ten millions of us today marching"
"Around the world, millions of people don't want this war"
"We've never gotten justice through war"
"We don't believe the lies that are being fed to us through the media"
"Peace"
"We all speak with one voice for peace"
"Stop the war!"
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian with crowd]
I've been walking through your streets
Where all your money's earning
Where all your buildings crying and clueless neckties working
Rеvolving fake lawn houses, housing all your fears
Dеsensitized by TV
Overbearing advertising, god of consumerism
And all your crooked pictures looking good
Mirrorism, filtering information for the public eye
Designed for profiteering your neighbor, what a guy
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian with crowd]
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb
You kill the God your child has born
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian with crowd]
Modern globalization, coupled with condemnations
Unnecessary death
Matador corporations
Puppeting your frustrations with the blinded flag
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game
The bottom line is money, nobody gives a f-
4000 hungry children leave us per hour from starvation
While billions are spent on bombs, creating death showers
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian with crowd]
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb
You kill the God your child has born
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
[Interlude]
"As a Vietnam vet, I do not believe that war should be fought in America's name"
"It's the most ridiculous thing"
"I'm here because my brother's in the Navy, and we want him to come home alive"
"I hope it's never gonna happen"
"We choose peace!"
"No a la guerra, y queremos la paz"
"[?]"
"I don't understand why dropping bombs on children is the best way to achieve peace"
[Bridge: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Why must we
Kill our own kind?
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian with crowd]
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb
You kill the God your child has born
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time you drop the bomb (Boom!)
