# B.Y.O.B. - System Of A Down

之前有介紹過他們的Aerials、Chop Suey!等比較哲思的歌曲，
這次換點比較政治口味的歌曲。
有人說現代社會有三大難題，
分別是時空穿梭、癌症的解藥和為什麼砲灰總是窮人...

從前的窮人是指衣衫襤褸、沒什麼教育的人，
而現在的社會則是泛指雖然受過高等教育但收入有限，
同時，在精神追求和物質貧乏的矛盾下，
熱衷以網購為代表的搶購消費族群。
每天忙著上班、忙著賺錢、忙著網購，
最後發現自己既沒賺到物質層面的財富，
也沒實現精神層面的追求。
說得好聽是理性消費、高CP值，
說白點就是沒錢。
新窮人和舊窮人對比，
不過是五十步笑百步的差距。
住著昂貴的房子、搶購打折的奢侈品，
只要經濟稍有風吹草動，
便迅速地淪為窮人。
而窮人的錢比富人的錢好賺，
因為窮人佔便宜的慾望太大。
不窮的人之所以不窮，
是因為認清了這個事實。

這個話題好像又歪了，
還是來說說歌吧。
歌曲裡其實很直白的描述，
政府透過各種五光十色的娛樂慾望，
欺騙了大眾，
一個隱藏在檯面下的事實，
那就是為什麼砲灰總是窮人呢...!?
當統治階層用各種各樣的口號，
比方民主、自由、人權，
發動一場又場的戰爭，
號召了群眾去跟隨他們。
然而實際上，
送死的永遠是窮人，
富人都是躲在後面數鈔票。

再多說可能要被查水表了，
還是來聽聽歌唄...

B.Y.O.B. / System Of A Down

Why do they always send the poor?
Barbarisms by barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious victorious kneel
For brand new spankin' deals
Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into fort knox stealing
Our intentions
Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Blast off!
It's party time!
And we don't live in a fascist nation!
Blast off!
It's party time!
And where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into fort knox stealing
Our intentions
Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sun
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor!
They always send the poor!
