The phoenix he helped create,
Out of control boy without a dad,
Shot the gun that startled my life,
While I drove him with a forty-five.
Friends for years images in red,
Blew off his own mother-fuckin head,
Confidence, death, insecurity,
Men fall unrealized,
Unrealized, unrealized.
Making a decision of death,
While everyone around you pled,
Now you fly in peace,
I hope, my friend,
A man can't avoid what he's meant to do,
When he's meant to do it,
Even if he doesn't really want to,
My memories are of fun and friendship,
Of weakness within the strength of youth,
For reasons undefined, reasons undefined,
Reasons undefined, reasons undefined.
Friends for years images in red,
Blew off his own mother-fuckin head,
Confidence, death, insecurity,
Men fall unrealized,
Don't you realize,
Evil, lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you realize,
that-Evil, lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you, realize,that-evil,
Lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you, realize , that evil,
Lives in the skin.
(solo)
Don't you, realize, evil,
Lives in the mother-fucking skin,
Don't you, realize , that evil,
Lives in the mother-fucking skin.
Why the fuck did you take him away from us you mother fucker?

Review about Soil Haha! Rascist?! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/21/09
You gotta be fucking kidding me, right? "Nazi pigs", according to this song? This song is about a friend that killed himself because of the "evil", possibly being guilt,that lived in his "skin", which would be inside of him. No rascism in SOAD pal, keep 'er moving.
GzUS!
Evil lives in you motherfucken skin | Reviewer: MEMO | 8/13/09
thers evil living inside all of our skins ... he fought the evil(demons) living in his skin but he lost (killed himself)the evil took him away..and when he says: why the fuck did you take him from us you motherfuker, hes talking about the devil
People will always have their own views, ideas, connotations of this specific song. But if we can't share our interpetations in a civilised manner, it's better keeping your thoughts to yourself. But the guitar riffs and lyrics on this song is bloody awesome!!! I heart SOAD!
ahh you fuckin bloody german skin 'eds | Reviewer: james face | 12/18/08
haha racist oO i love you, good on you for pokin fun at ur own race. i sure could make a few points about us 'aussies' and our racially discriminative traits...
anyway, soad are not racists. far fucking from it.
serj - armenian, family refugee from the motherfucking genocide there a while ago. its ridiculous to think hed be anything but a racial activist.
how ever, i cannot explain why in a song about suicide they would put a racial parody (parody, as in what some people beleive and how ridiculous it is), but there you go, just goes to show how many issues SOAD are prepared to tackle in the one song.
Stupid lives in the mother-fucking skin | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/13/08
This song is so obviously about someone committing suicide, and has nothing to do with race. "Evil lives in the mother fucking skin" is not referring to race lol. I'm really shocked at how completely stupid half of these posts are, good stuff!
to all those who think soad is racist - no matter who u r no matter who u r from but get this into that thick skull o' urs : what u think, what u feel u have the freedom to express it and so does the system. but when u are unable to comprehend what others have to say keep ur mouth shut. SOAD rocks, its here to stay and they aren't racist. DEIFY THEM COZ U CAN'T DEFY THEM.
Racist oO | Reviewer: Fetti | 7/15/08
hey to all that idiots who posted before:
They are so not racist. Serj even did a song with wu tang clan (shame on a nigger, kinda sarcastic) and he made an album with Arto Tunçboyaçiyan (turkish guy). Then again they obviously hate America, but maybe because there are plenty of racists (calling themselves patriots) living in the USA, even in the government.
Don't get me wrong I don't actually hate America, I just hate your government, espacially for what they have done on 9/11, that was an inhuman lie.
Oh I'm kind of losing my point here...yeah whatever, System's not racist, greeeetings from good old non racist Germany ;)
kicks ass | Reviewer: lawl | 11/1/07
like WTF?
why are whinning bout them being racist.
If your going to whine, fucking write your own damn music then, you little fucking preppy fags.
BTW
SOAD FUCKING OWNS!
Racist? | Reviewer: Jess | 10/23/07
How in any part of the song other than 'evil, lives in...' is it racist?
Surely if it was meant as a racial attack, the rest of the song would have connotations of that too?
It's metaphorical, not prejudiced.
God.
nazi pigs | Reviewer: MCCloskey | 9/3/07
SOAD is the most racist band in rock today. I've seen some of their concert posters, they r fuckin' racist pigs, no matter how good the music is. I honestly don't support racism in rock music. This song is a good example.. of course, if u can see the real idea behind it. The best answer to this song is Redneck from Lamb of God. Redneck is particularly written for SOAD vocalist.
