System of a Down
Kill Rock n Roll Live at Big Day Out 2005

Tuning: Standard System tuning (high to low- DAFCGC)

This is an awesome song from System's new album and can be downloaded from soadonefnet.com

Before the song, Daron says:

"When I was a little boy
I used to talk to God. 
And I said you motherfucker
And he said you motherfucker
Gotta grow up
And kill rock and roll
He said kill rock and roll
And fuck all the sexy people
So I did"
