        Well they are a political band. All their songs are heavy on the lyrical end.

      • In a single song, though? I was thinking more how nearly every album I have from them, it’s like 10 political tracks, and 1 that’s just batshit random that was made either because they just needed 1 more song to fulfil their contract, or they just had some fun. lol

        If there actually is a single song like that, I’d love to hear it; I haven’t listened to everything they have put out so I am genuinely curious about that.

          1 that’s just batshit random

          Rick Rubin claims credit for this. Says when Serge Tankian was having trouble finishing the lyrics for Chop Suey, Rubin told him to pull a random book off the shelf and open it to a random page and use whatever was there (this is supposedly where the “Father into your hands I commend my spirit …” bit came from).
