Why do they always send the poor?
Barbarisms by Barbara
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
(lalalalalalalalalala, ooooh)
Everybody is going to the party
To 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 (freedom!)
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
(lalalalalalalalalala, ooooh)
Everybody is going to the party
to Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
to 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
Hangars sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom (freedom!)
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
(lalalalalalalalalala, ooooh)
Everybody is going to the party
to Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
to 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

Well, for those questioning the lyrics such as "My God is of bible blood with pointed ears" and "Moses' dry mouth". Think about some of their lyrics they've used in earlier songs. A good example from another SOAD hit
Chop Suey
"I don't think you trust,
In, my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
In my, self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die
Father, Father, Father, Father,
Father/ Into your hands/I/commend my spirit,
Father, into your hands,
Why have you forsaken me,
In your eyes forsaken me,
In your thoughts forsaken me,
In your heart forsaken, me oh,
Trust in my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die,
In my self righteous suicide,
I, cry, when angels deserve to die"
They are constantly using anti-semitic references in their songs. This is a band that has very deep lyrics in most of their songs and that means they can be interpreted different ways. According to the Bible Jesus said something like "Father, why have you forsaken me" as he was dying. He also could have called down angels to kill his attackers but he didn't. Then in the song, they mention all of these things before mentioning a self-righteous suicide. Could that too not be interpreted as demonic or satanic or however you guys worded it earlier? Just let the song mean to you what you interpret it as. They're not a gospel band so if they say shit like that, oh well, no one is making you listen to it.
Great song also.  | | 18-05-2005 21:40 TrickOfDisguise |

To let you guys know you got some of the lyrics wrong. As many of you i bought the ablum Mesmerize yesterday and found out that the lyrics are wrong.
Instead of
My God is of Bible blood with pointed heels
Victorious, victorious steel
Can your spending kneel?
It is
Barbarisms by barabaras
With pointed heels
Victourious, victourious Kneel
For brand new spankin' deals
and lastly instead of
And we all live in a fascist nation
It is
And we don't live in a fascist nation

Awesome song.. im obsessed with it. My friends try to make it hip hop, and it just disgusts me....
Can anyone say what:
Kneeling roses
Disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions
Hangers sitting, dripped in oil
Crying freedom!
means?
I LOVE THIS SONG. AND SOAD.
