Cover art for Attack lyrics by System of a Down

But, yeah.... I think this song is about the war and how we attack everyone that even "hints" that they have something thtreatning. "we dream of the day we attack" means we are basically just planning wars. Somehow some of the rednecks of this country feel that there is sincerity and security in "steel machines" like guns, bombs, tanks....etc. But in reality, its all bullshit. We are just digging ourselves into a hole and the reality of "Attack" is that villages are destroyed, people are killed, and lands are polluted. And after we pillage their lands, we hang our flags to prove that we have been their and claim it as ours. Just sad.
