Serj Tankian
Occupied Tears
[Verse 1]
I forgot to bring you roses
When you hit the floor
Your nouveau poses
Asking for war
Have you forgot the wall?
I've foreseen it all
We've foreseen it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Holocaust, you tasted great fear
How could you just occupy another child's tear?
[Chorus 1]
Don't you all know?
Don't you all care?
Don't you all see how this isn't fair?
Are we all blind?
Do we not see?
Do we not bleed?
[Verse 2]
Faint cries of lost limbs
Mimes surrounded by mines
Without warning signs
Of the great sacrifice
[Pre-Chorus]
Holocaust, you tasted great fear
How could you just occupy another child's tear?
[Chorus 1]
Don't you all know?
Don't you all care?
Don't you all see how this isn't fair?
Are we all blind?
Do we not see?
Do we not bend to misery?
[Chorus 2]
Of course, we all know
Of course, we all care
Of course, we all see how this isn't fair
We are not blind
Yes, we do see
It's time to end this misery
[Bridge]
It's time to go up to bed
No more sipping on our regret
Tuck the kids in without worry
No more running out in a hurry
No more bombs falling over our heads
No more sirens predicting death
Yes, it's the two-state solution
No more glaring through oblivion
[Verse 3]
Asking for war
Have you forgot the wall?
I've foreseen it all
We've foreseen it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Holocaust, you tasted the great fear
How could you just occupy another child's tear?
[Chorus 1]
Don't you all know?
Don't you all care?
Don't you all see how this isn't fair?
Are we all blind?
Do we not see?
Do we not bend to misery?
[Chorus 2]
Of course, we all know
Of course, we all care
Of course, we all see how this isn't fair
We are not blind
Yes, we do see
It's time to end this misery
[Outro]
It's no mystery...
It's no mystery...
