X - System of a Down

X - System of a Down
1:58
Toxicity, 2001
Written by Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian

Whiplash-fast nu-metal song about immigration.  "We don't need to multiply" is talking about multiplying numbers of people.  It also touches on the Armenian massacre ("Show your people how we died").  It's an important subject, but this song is not exactly the rallying cry that will bring the hordes to the cause.  It's too rbutal, too fast, lyrics too abstruse.  As for catchiness, it's no "Chop Suey!"  Great to headbang to, though.
