System Of A Down Lyrics

"Chop Suey!"

We're rolling suicide

Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up (hide the scars to fade away the...)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to

I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to
Die

Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up (hide the scars to fade away the...)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
Here you go create another fable

You wanted to
Grab a brush and put a little make-up
You wanted to
Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
You wanted to
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
You wanted to

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

Chop Suey is a Chinese stew based on meat or fish with bamboo sprouts, onions, rice and chestnuts. It describes the band's musical style.

The band wanted the title of this song to be "Suicide", but Columbia Records disagreed, because it would have prevented the song to be radio friendly. Still the word "suicide" can be heard in the beginning, when Serj Tankian says, "We're rolling suicide."

To make the music video for this song, the band posted an announcement on their website inviting fans to come down and participate. They thought that they were not well-known and expected no more than 500 people, but instead 1500 fans showed up.

The music video was shot in the parking lot of a cheap hotel in Los Angeles, near the place where the band grew up.
