"Genocidal Humanoidz"

Can
You
See
Us
Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil

Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil
We never

Terrorists we're fighting and we're never gonna stop
The prostitutes who prosecute have failed us from the start

You
Me
Us
Them

Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil
We never

Terrorists we're fighting and we're never gonna stop
The prostitutes who prosecute have failed us from the start

Can
You
See
Us
Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil

Persecution ends now

Guess who's coming over to dinner
The genocidal humanoids
Teaching warfare to their children
The bastards that will be destroyed
Guess who's coming over to dinner
The genocidal humanoids

Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil

Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil
We never

Terrorists we're fighting and we're never gonna stop
The prostitutes who prosecute have failed us from the start

Can
You
See
Us
Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil

Persecution ends
Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil

Beating the devil
We never run from the devil
We never summoned the devil
We never hide from the devil

"Genocidal Humanoidz" was written by System Of A Down's John Dolmayan as a response to the attacks on Armenia and Artsakh (the homeland of the band members) by Azerbaijan backed by Turkey. The conflict started anew in September 2020. Dolmayan explained, "I had a lot of feelings of anger and powerlessness, and then I thought back to how my ancestors must have felt during the genocide. I sent a text to the other three guys, and said, ‘Irrespective of your feelings for each other and the past, we have to put everything aside and get in the studio and create a song for our people to bring attention to the situation and galvanize the forces of good worldwide.'"

Bassist Shavo Odadjian said about the situation in Armenia and Artsakh which inspired this song, "This is gruesome shit that's going on. There's nothing humane about it. They're not saying, 'Oh, leave our lands. We'll be so polite to help you leave.' They're massacring people and doing all sorts of cowardly, disgusting things. And that just touches all of us."

The proceeds from this song and "Protect The Land", released alongside, go to the Armenia Fund to help those in need in Armenia and Artsakh. Tankian recalled about Artsakh, "It's just beautiful countryside, and it's just really sad seeing all of that destroyed right now and the people having to move. The people are just incredible there. They're the old Armenians. They have been living on those lands since 500 B.C. They're very strong and beautiful and funny. They don't get scared, man. They've seen this before, but it's really, really fucked up."
