» Poem: The system of a down
The system of a down
written by .purity.

Here we go now, its okay
Got another way to live
So you'll live this way

Giving it all, to find it taken
Collapse into compromise
For all the forsaken

Pick it all up, to watch it fall down
The beauty of a promise
The prospects of a sound

The angel grounded
By lack of enthusiasm?
The seagull strangled
By its own proud tongue

It’s normal, it is
To be caught in a system
As pathetic as this

Sorry-did it break?
Did it all fall down?
Did it state the truth?
For the system of a down
