"War?" is a single from System Of A Down's first and self titled album. A live version of the song is also a B-side featured on the Sugar EP.
The song is GeneRally thought to be AbOUT mankind fighting wars for wealth and other material gains throughout the centuries while coming up with great reasons for it; one of the first reasons given for such wars was that God commanded the war. As this reason changed to fighting communism and eventually [...], the war was still being fought for material gain and global domination. There is also a strong reminiscing present about The Crusades in the lyrics.
The music video for war features the band playing a live show. Unlike other music videos, this one is not dubbed over with the studio release. Rather, it uses the audio that the band recorded for Demo Tape 3.
