Bounce

System of a Down

Jump, bounce, down, up
Jump, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Bounce, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Down, pogo, pogo, pogo
Up, pogo, pogo, pogo
Jump, pogo, bounce, pogo, up, pogo, down, pogo

I went out on a date
With a girl, a bit late
She had so many friends
(Gliding through many hands)
I brought my Pogo Stick
Just to show her a trick
She had so many friends
(Gliding through many hands)

Jump, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Bounce, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Down, pogo, pogo, pogo
Up, pogo, pogo, pogo
Jump, pogo, bounce, pogo, up, pogo, down, pogo

Unannounced Twister games
All players with no names
They lined up double quick
But just one Pogo Stick
Everyone gets to play
Runaway, expose
It was so exotic
But just one Pogo Stick

Jump, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Bounce, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Down, pogo, pogo, pogo
Up, pogo, pogo, pogo
Jump, pogo, bounce, pogo, up, pogo, down, pogo

Oh, I like to spread you out
Touching whoever's behind

Jump, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Bounce, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo, pogo
Down, pogo, pogo, pogo
Up, pogo, pogo, pogo
Jump, pogo, bounce, pogo, up, pogo, down, pogo

    General CommentSerj has said that this song is about pogostick orgies. There`s no deeper meaning behind these lyrics. Just pogostick orgies.

    General CommentI think you guys are looking too deep into this song. This just might be one of SOAD's songs without any real meaning. I think its just about him going on a date and bringing his pogo stick with him to show off. The girl's friends all wanted to try, and Serj got to grab their asses while he was helping them keep their balance (touching whoever's behind). He also had some fun watching them help each other out, and watching certain parts of them "bounce" if you know what I mean (gliding through many hands; it was so exotic).

    My InterpretationDude yeah Serj said in an interview it was when he was 12 years old in Armenia he went on a date with a girl and she introduced him to her friends, and he brought his new pogo stick that he got on Christmas and showed them his 1337 skillz. "It was so exotic" because it was an imported American toy. He says "pogo" like 67 times in the song, that represents his max amount of jumps on the pogo stick. 67 is a lot! Needless to say, all of the girl's friends were impressed. "I like to spread you out" because Serj jumped all over the place on the pogo stick that the girls had to spread out to give him space.

    General CommentIt's obviously about an orgy. It says it right in the song. He's comparing his "Pogo Stick" to something else of his.
