Original Lyrics for Chop Suey
Chop Suey Alternate Lyrics
"Chop Suey" was originally written with a different set of opening lyrics written by guitarist Daron Malakian, who intended to write a serious song about drug abuse. However, Serj Tankian would improvise a new set of opening lyrics which have since become iconic.
The original lyrics read:
“Tell me/Tell me what you think about tomorrow/Is there gonna be a pain and sorrow/Tell me what you think about the people/Is there gonna be another sequel?"
Which became the nonsensical lines we are more familiar with: “Wake up/Grab a brush and put a little make-up.” ...and you know the rest.
Serj would also improvise the lyrics "father unto thy hands I commend my spirit" when he grabbed a random book in Rick Rubin's studio and flipped to a random page for inspiration during a bout of writer's block. That book was the Bible.
As for the meaning of the song, Daron would explain:
“It occurred to me how we are judgemental towards people, even in death... If someone died in a car accident, you'd say, 'Oh, poor thing.' But if they died in a car accident while they were drunk, that would change your whole perception of how they died, and judging his or her death a in a different way. For some reason, that thought was weird to me. I was probably smoking weed or something…” - Malakian, 10 Things You Didn't Know About Chop Suey, Dave Everley, Metal Hammer (Mar 6, 2021)
