System of a Down

Biography: (commonly referred to as System or abbreviated as SOAD) is an Armenian-American rock band, formed in 1994^[2] in Glendale, California. Consisting of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards, and rhythm guitar), Daron Malakian (vocals and lead guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass), and John Dolmayan (drums), the band has released five albums since 1998. A staple on mainstream rock radio, their works have earned them three Grammy Award nominations, of which they won one.

System of a Down is very politically active and are noted for the liberal political views expressed in their songs, tackling several subjects including the Armenian Genocide, War on Drugs, religion, and censorship. The band is a part of the Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization co-founded by Tankian and fellow musician Tom Morello, dedicated to bringing together musicians, music fans, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice.

In 2006, the group went on an "indefinite hiatus", and all four members are currently working on various side projects.

Toxicity

(Toxicidade)

Conversion the software version seven point Oh (7.0)
looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub
eating seeds as a pastime activity
the toxicity of our city, of our city

You, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder, disorder
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep
disorder, disorder, disorder

More wood for the fires, loud neighbors
flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck
eating seeds as a pastime activity
the toxicity of our city, of our city

You, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder, disorder
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
disorder, disorder, disorder

You, what do you own the world?
how do you own disorder
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence
Sacred silence and sleep
somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep
disorder, disorder, disorder

When I became the sun
I shone life into the man's hearts
When I became the sun
I shone life into the man's hearts.
