Song lyrics
I'll wait here
You're crazy
Those vicious streets are filled with strays
You should've never gone to Hollywood

They find you
Two-time you
Say you're the best they've ever seen
You should've never trusted Hollywood

I wrote you
And told you
You were the biggest fish out here
You should've never gone to Hollywood

They take you
And make you
They look at you in disgusting ways
You should've never trusted Hollywood

I was standing on the wall
Feeling ten feet tall
All you maggots, smoking fags
On Santa Monica Boulevard

This is my front page
This is my new age
All you bitches put your hands in the air
And wave them like you just don't care

All you maggots, smoking fags
Out there on Sunset Boulevard
All you bitches put your hands in the air
And wave them like you just don't care

Phony people come to pray
Look at all of them beg to stay
Phony people come to pray

(The lines in the letter said "We have gone to Hackensack")
Look at all of them beg to stay
Phony people come to pray

All you maggots, smoking fags
On Santa Monica Boulevard
All you maggots, smoking fags
Out there on Sunset Boulevard
All you maggots, smoking fags
Out there on Hollywood Boulevard

You should've never trusted Hollywood
You should've never gone to Hollywood
All you bitches put your hands in the air
And wave them like you just don't care

You should've never trusted Hollywood

AWESOME SONG!

Can't get it outta my head!

Seriously . . . Daron is so awesome . . . his voice is amazing . . . and this song is GREAT live!

SOAD have always been political . . . always against genocide! Its great that a band cares so much . . . most bands are usually self obsessed jerks . . . who couldnt care less about anyone, anything, or world issues . . . other than themselves and their popularity!

It so awesome System isnt one of those bands! They care about world issues and i think its awesome that they are using their popularity to spread the word and make others aware!

SOAD 4EVA!

Lotsa love, Anna. 3

P.S: CANT WAIT till their hiatus is over!!

Every 1 shut it about SOAD bein political! First off P.L.U.C.K. isnt political.The SOAD members are all desendants of armenia and there was a massacare there and genocide problem.In the song PLUCK "earase genocide" is realated to this in armenia.Now this song isnt political either....Serj and Darron had to grow up in L.A. Hollywood and it was a corrupt system.The school system,jobs,market, were corrupt.

[offtopic]System of a Down isnt pollitical the hand on their first album shows the power to either destroy or take controll and turn the tide................As the century nears its formidable end, our gobal experience of universal proportions, predicted by many greats, will arrive at our solar system, to our system of a down. Authoritarian oppression, family abuse, depression caused by conformity, and economic devastation will be neutralized by technological terrorism in times of complete chaos. Control will never again be gained for toleration will become extinct. A husband quarreling with his wife will not think twice or regret his spent bullet. Hungry children will not spare the grocer. Remorse in all forms will be removed from human thoughts and actions. Freedom will only be available through revolution or death. This system of a down is unavoidable as life on this planet becomes unnecessary.
The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create. We have the power to stop and reverse the tides of time by making our awareness of abuse known to the powers of industry and their uncouth political arms. Only by raising the awareness and promoting personal peace within today's self-defeatist society, can we allow the planet a chance to avoid self-destruction!

OPEN YOUR EYES, OPEN YOUR MOUTHS,
CLOSE YOUR HANDS AND MAKE A FIST.

Daron rocks the past, present and future

this song is so f***ing good and beautiful

hehe, weird, there just came an advertisement on the tv about kids' programs and in the back they played Question! (instrumental part), never seen that one before...

but the truth is you can't choose the best one of your children either (not that i'd have any )

and stop shitting about how political SoaD and their songs are 'cause i guess everyone can interpret that differently... and only ones to KNOW that are the guys themselves

Spiders ar really, really good, and I admit that there's big difference between Mezmerize and the other 3 albums. Somtimes you wouldn't know it was the same band if you didn't recognice(how do I spell that s**t?) the vocals. But I still think Mezmerize is really good.

Why care if SOAD's songs are so "political"?
At least the songs mean something,
unlike most songs that are just silly lovesongs. ;P

Font i agree with you that this is absolutely not anything related to how good soad used to be. In all the song, i like only when serj's voice get's higher and goes
"you should have never trusted hollywood"..
other stuff on this song are crap..

However, system of a down have always been political, but in a more.. their greatest songs are so damn political, but the beauty was that they were covered with such metaphors than one would have to really think about meanings. I believe this song is shallow. Chop suey, toxicity, even spiders, and many others all have political meanings... But they are like 10 times better than this....
I miss the chill soad used to give me while listening to their songs.. this material is not as good, sorry..
