<P> The song was originally titled `` Suicide '' but the band decided to change it because they wanted to make it radio - friendly . The song title is therefore a wordplay from Self - righteous suicide to `` Self - right - Chop Suey - cide '' that replaces provocation by absurdity . The band members claim this change was not caused by pressure from their record company . Noteworthy , certain pressings of the album include an intro to the track where the comment We 're rolling ' Suicide ' can still be heard faintly before the guitar starts . </P>
