Revenga Tabs & Lyrics by System of a Down
Revenga
guitar tabs lyrics
____________________
/ System of a Down / I think this song is about this guy being dumped by the
/ Revenga / love of his life and how he gets so furious that he gets
/ Mezmerize / murderous thoughts about her. It could also be interpret
/___________________/ with a perverse twist. �Bleeding in a sink� and �the taking
is in the making baby� could hint at the poor guy made his
now former girlfriend in his rage and eager for revenge. I think he would do it to
leave his signs at her, like showing her that he had actually meant something in
her life.

Poisoning a drink
Bleeding in a sink
Choking with a link
Killing with a stink
Just your mother's ho
Bleeding in a sink
Poisoning a drink
Burning up
My sweet Clementine
Trampling a shrink
Bleeding in a sink
Hallelujah wink
Getting on the brink
Just your mother's ho
Hallelujah wink
Murdering a shrink
Burning up
My sweet revenge
Will be yours for the taking
It's in the making baby
Killing with a stink
Bleeding in a sink
Poisoning a drink
Getting on the brink
Just your mother's ho
Bleeding in a sink
Trampling a shrink
Burning up
My sweet Clementine
Poisoning a drink
Bleeding in a sink
Choking with a link
Killing with a stink
Just your mother's ho
Poisoning a drink
Bleeding in a sink
Burning up
I saw her laugh
Then she said "Go away"
My sweet revenge
Will be yours it's in the making
It's in the taking, making, baking, taking, faking
Should've been, could've been
Would've been've, would've been you
Should've been, could've been
Would've been, would've been you
