    Cigaro

    Heres the link to the song! Its a short 2 minute song, the quirky short songs that System puts on their albums. This song opens with a big punk riff (very toxicity-ish, like Forest or X) and Daron comes in singing "My c*ck is much bigger than yours!", trading off with Serj's rapidfire vocal delivery. With a super-quirky bridge (made me grin from ear to ear) and more influence from the early SOAD material (ie. their self-titled album), Its really awesome. I would say a mix of early SOAD like Ddevil and CUBErt to some of the Steal this Album stuff like "F*ck the System" or "Chic 'N' Stu".

    They also use double-bass drums in this song at the end. Check it out. :D

    I like how it sounds, although I can't exactly decipher the lyrics. Great instrumentation!

    Of course, the lyrics aren't literal at all except for (we're the regulators the deregulate...) parts. I think its about the mass media, and their focus on stars being how much bigger and better they are than you.

    My cock is much bigger than yours
    My cock can walk right thru the door
    With a feeling so pure
    It gots you screaming back for more

    in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    My shit stinks much better than yours
    My shit stinks right back to the floor
    with a feeling so pure
    It gots you coming back for more

    in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    Cant you see that i love my cock
    Cant you see that you love my cock
    Cant you see that we love my cock

    We're the regulators that de-regulate
    We're the animators that de-animate
    We're the propagators of all genocide
    boarding through the wall's resources, then we go and hide!

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    We're the regulators that de-regulate
    We're the animators that de-animate

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking
    CIGARO CIGARO CIGARO

    cool, in denial
    We're the cruel regulators smoking

    Wow. I was never a big fan of SOAD, and this song didn't change my opinion. The first guys' voice was... eek... that's the only way I can explain it. The other guy wasn't too bad, and that at least kept me from turning it off. I do like the instrumentation though, as Mark said.

    Haha, yea Daron's voice isn't the greatest, but I really think he fits the mood of this song. Its really wacky and outrageous, and I think his voice did the part better than Serj could! I do hope he doesn't sing to much during the more melodic/heavier stuff, or he should get a vocal coach :lol:

    As I said, this is gonna be one of their quirky songs without a doubt. Their debut had songs like "Ddevil", "CUBErt", and "Darts"; and Toxicity had songs like "Jet Pilot", "X", and "Shimmy".

    There definately be a lot of really complex/deep music on this album, if they follow the same pattern.

    my thoughts exactly, i thought it was about how rappers talk about how they're pimp and what not and that makes other people want to be all gluttonous like them, but then i can't see how that relates to genocide, so i'm probably wrong. it just reminded me of one of 50 cent's songs, or watching "entertainment tonight" quite possibly the worst half-hour of crap on tv today.
