System Of A Down

Text File

____________________ / System of a Down / I think that this song is about the warfare that hits civilian, for / Attack / instance when USA bombed the medicine factory in Baghdad last year / Hypnotize / blindly convinced that it was a weapons factory. It could as well be /___________________/ about massacres in general, where everything is slaughtered - hate. Tunings: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb C# G# C# F# A# D# Gtr I - Electric, Distorted (lead) Gtr II - Electric, Distorted (backup) Gtr III - Electric, Clean (lead) Gtr IV - Electric, Clean (rhythm) Gtr V - Electric, Clean (fills) (don't worry, the song is easily arrangenged on two guitars with some pedals - the only thing you have to worry about is the sudden physical exhaustion!)

Bombs illustrate what we already know Candles cry towards the sky Bracing your plants of a polluted coast Dreaming of the day that Was the philosophy of displaced minds The bombing of all homes and villages? Truth is the only sort we demise Pleading till the day that Attack all the homes and villages Attack all the schools and hospitals You have attacked all the innocent villages We shall attack! - 16th /December /05 Just mail me at Maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments or corrections!
