The O’Keefe Music Foundation brought us another metal cover, this time performing SYSTEM OF A DOWN classic “Chop Suey!“, but with a bit of twist as they changed the song into a Christian hymn.
The O’Keefe Music Foundation decided the lyrics to “Chop Suey!” were a little but much for an 8-year-old to sing, as they reference domestic violence and “self-righteous suicide.” New set of lyrics along with the video are available below.
Wake up
I praise the lord with every breath I take up
Forgive the sins I know I gotta make up
Like stealing all the cookies on the table
I try my best to do as I am able
You wanted to
I praise the lord with every breath I take up
You wanted to
Forgive the sins I know I gotta make up
You wanted to
Like stealing all the cookies on the tableThat day on the mountain side
helpless and crucified.
Arms, wide, you took up your cross and diedThat day on the mountain side
helpless and crucified.
Arms, wide, you took up your cross and died
you had, nobody on your side
Arms, wide, you took up your cross and died
Father, father, father, father
Father, father, father, father
Father into your hands, I commend my spirit
Father, into your hands…
Even though I’m not worthy
in your eyes you see through me
in my thoughts you cradle me
in my heart you’re calling… me…I find, myself climbing a mountain side
wings wide, where angels deserve to fly
you cried, helpless and crucified,
arms wide, you took up your cross and died.
