"Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" This is the most relevant statement in any war.

Agree!

Another quote:

They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor

One of the greatest, most valid rock bands I ever heard. So much shit came out of new metal but these guys were lumped in. They were progressive, intelligent.

True, they questioned and criticised the status quo to our benefit!

Great music to age to!

“B.Y.O.B.” (“Bring Your Own Bombs”) is the first single released from American heavy metal band System of a Down’s fourth album Mezmerize.

Like their earlier song “Boom!,” it was written in protest against the Iraq War.

B.Y.O.B. means “Bring Your Own Bombs,” as opposed to the common interpretation “Bring Your Own Booze,” referring to the Iraq War as one big party for the United States, where instead of Jägerbombs they drop real ones.

It made onto numerous “Top 40” playlists around the globe, including Germany, New Zealand, Australia and the United States, and occasionally made it to #1 on other music shows.
