Sound

The song starts with a brutal riff, which goes into Daron Malakin screaming "Why do they always send the poor?" After Darons scream, the song goes into an incredible riff and alternation between Daron and Serj Tankian on the vocals, a theme common to the song. After that, the song slips into an ultra-complex riff and into another extremely catchy riff. The song is truly the best metal song of 2005, and one of the best metal songs ever.
