Chop Suey

Chop Suey! is the first single from American heavy metal band System of a Down's second album Toxicity. The single was released in September 2001 and earned the band its first Grammy nomination. The song's working title was "Suicide"; the band members claim the change was not caused by pressure from their record company. The words "We're rolling Suicide" can still be heard faintly in the album versions's opening seconds - though this intro is only on certain pressings of the album. The song is included as a playable track in the music video games Rock Band 2 and Rock Band Unplugged, and 2015's Guitar Hero live

[Intro: Serj Tankian] We're rolling "Suicide" [Verse: Serj Tankian] Wake up (Wake up) Grab a brush and put a little makeup Hide your scars to fade away the shakeup (Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup) Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? Here you go, create another fable, you wanted to Grab a brush and put a little makeup, you wanted to Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup, you wanted to Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? You wanted to [Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian] I don't think you trust In my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die [Verse: Serj Tankian] Ah! Wake up (Wake up) Grab a brush and put a little makeup (A little bit) Hide the scars to fade away the (Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup) Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? Here you go, create another fable, you wanted to Grab a brush and put a little makeup, you wanted to Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup, you wanted to Why'd you leave the keys upon the table? You wanted to [Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian] I don't think you trust In my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die In my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die [Bridge: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] Father, father, father, father Father, father, father, father Father, into your hands I commend my spirit Father, into your hands Why have you forsaken me? In your eyes, forsaken me? In your thoughts, forsaken me? In your heart, forsaken me? Oh [Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] Trust in my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die In my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die
