I don't know if there are many System of a Down fans here. There is a song by them called Boom! which is a year or so old now but has an awesome video made by Michael Moore. The song is a critique of war and the American lifestyle and I think it is very true of our current society. The song is from their album "Steal This Album!" a take from Abbie Hoffman's classic and radical book Steal this Book. Lyrics:
I've been walking through your streets, Where all your money's earning, Where all your building's crying And clueless neckties working, Revolving fake lawn houses, Housing all your fears, Desensitized 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.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, Every time you drop the bomb, You kill the god your child has born, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
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 fuck. 4000 hungry children leave us per hour, From starvation, While billions are spent on bombs, Creating death showers.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, Every time you drop the bomb, You kill the god your child has born, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
Why, why, why, why must we kill, kill, kill, kill Our own, own, own, own kind...
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, Every time you drop the bomb, You kill the god your child has born, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM Every time you drop the bomb.
