System Of A Down - Boom!

"Boom!" is a protest song from the band System of a Down, included in his 2002 album Steal This Album!. The song criticizes the useless of war and how money is wasted on armaments while millions of people live in poverty.

Boom!

I'm walking through your streets

Where all your money's earning

Where all your buildings crying

And clueless neckties working

Revolving fake lawn houses

Housing all your fears

Desensitized by T.V.

Overbearing advertising

God of consumers

And all your crooked pictures looking good

Mirrors filtering information through the public eye

Designed for profit sharing

Your neighbor, what a guy

Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,

Every time you drop a bomb

You kill the god your child has born

Boom, Boom, Boom,

Modern globalization

Coupled with condemnations

Unnecessary death

Matador corporations

Puppeting your frustrations with a 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,

Every time you drop a bomb

You kill the god your child has born

Boom, Boom, Boom,

Every time you drop a bomb

You kill the god your child has born

Boom, Boom, Boom,

Every time you drop a bomb

You kill the god your child has born

Why must we kill our own kind?

Boom, Boom, Boom,

Every time you drop a bomb

You kill the god your child has born

Boom, Boom, Boom,

Every time you drop a bomb

You kill the god your child has born

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom

Every time you drop the bomb
