oh I just assumed
it was shorthand for System of a Down. Who never did a song about partying. Unless you count B.Y.O.B

*googles* that's not the song.
However:

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor? [X4]

has not endeared them to me ever so much. That's 'D- see me' lyric writing if you ask me.

Most bands have written some shockingly shit lyrics at times

Those
are spectacularly bad, though, you must agree. A-level student poetry drivel.

I can think of only one worse example at present
There's a Human League song called something like "The things that dreams are made of" - look them up if you dare*. They're farcical.

*I know this because my sister had one of her ill-advised moments and bought a copy of Dare. I nearly disowned her.

Their 'The Lebanon'
has what is generally regarded as the worst lyrics of any song, ever - something about 'where there were some shops' or something.

Ahem
on the subject of godawful lyrics, I am forced to once again bring up the musical crimes of the Gallagher brothers

See the discussion above.
You would have thought that their manager...one of the band...possibly even their mum...might have eventually said,
"Noel, Liam...what the fuck is a 'wonderwall?' Oh, and Liam, darling, swaggering around like that just makes you look like a wanker. You used to be such a nice boy. Noel, your Dad and I have been talking and we've agreed you're a fucking shit guitarist. We've part-exchanged your guitar for a recorder. We know you can't play that either but hopefully it will be less obvious."

^this
Genuine officelol. Oh, the suffering that could have been avoided if you were the Gallaghers' Mum

Wow.
Just looked those up.
Jesus...

True
but that is the chorus, and if you listen to the song, it's speeded up/sung over itself and 4 repetitions take up about fifteen seconds
