Lyrics of Chop Suey! by System of a Down
intro
We′re rolling "Suicide"
verse
Wake up (wake up)
Grab a brush and put a little makeup
Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup
(Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup)
Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?
pre-chorus
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
I don't think you trust
In my self-righteous suicide
I cry when angels deserve to die!

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit

In your heart, forsaken me, oh
