Soldier Side (intro) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Dead man lying on the bottom of the grave
Wondering when savior comes, is he gonna be saved?
Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life
Maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
They were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left, all young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth, he's never going home
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved?
Cruelty to the winner, bishop tells the king his lies
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
They were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black
He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back
They were crying when their sons left, all young men must go
He's come so far to find the truth, he's never going home
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Welcome to the soldier side, where there's no one here but me
People all grow up to die, there is no one here but me
Welcome to the soldier side, there is no one here but me
People on the soldier side, there is no one here but me

B.Y.O.B. Lyrics
[Intro: Daron Malakian]
You
Why do they always send the poor?
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Barbarisms by Barbaras with pointed heels
Victorious Victorias kneel for brand-new spanking deals
Marching forward, hypocritic and hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection, yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ooh-ooh
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert, blowin' up the sunshine
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian]
Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions
Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom"
Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the tablecloth
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ooh-ooh
[Chorus: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert, blowing up the sunshine
Everybody's goin' to the party, have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert, blowin' up the sunshine
[Bridge: Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Blast off, it's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation
Blast off, it's party time
And where the fuck are you?
[Refrain: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian, Daron Malakian]
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
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?
Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor?
Why they always send the poor?
[Verse 3: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian]
Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions
Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom"
Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the tablecloth
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ooh-ooh
[Chorus: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert, blowin' up the sunshine
Well everybody's goin' to the party, have a real good time
Dancin' in the desert, blowin' up the sun
[Refrain: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
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?
Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor?
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor, they always send the poor
Revenga Lyrics
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
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
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
On my sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
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
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, oh
[Bridge: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
I saw her laugh, then she said
"Go away"
I saw her laugh, then she said, then she said
"Go away, away"
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
My sweet revenge will be yours, it's in the making
It's in the taking, making, baking, taking, faking, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Ho, my sweet Clementine
Ho, shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been, woulda been you
Shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been, woulda been you

Can't you see that I love my cock?
Can't you see that you love my cock?
Can't you see that we love my cock?
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
We're the regulators that deregulate
We're the animators that de-animate
We're the propagators of all genocide
Burning through the world's resources, then we turn and hide
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
We're cool, in denial
We're the cruel regulators smoking cigaro, cigaro, cigar
Cool, in denial
We're the cruel regulators smoking cigaro, cigaro, cigar
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]

My cock can walk right through the door
With a feeling so pure
It's got you screaming back for more

There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you

I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
When we're crying for our next fix
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you

I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
When we're crying for our next fix
[Refrain]
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings

Gonorrhea gorgonzola
Gonorrhea gorgonzola
Single files of clean feedings

I can't see your soul-soul through your eyes
The crying walls of sliding architecture
Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture
Upholstery-loving men all dwelling in the wells
Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture

Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings
Gonorrhea gorgonzola
Gonorrhea gorgonzola
Single files of clean feedings

Wrong with you and I
When we're crying for our next fix

Killers never hurt feelings
Killers never hurt feelings

There's something wrong with me
I hope your stepson doesn't eat the fish
There's nothing wrong with me
There's something wrong with you

Don't eat the fish

Sad Statue Lyrics
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
Conquest to the lover and your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absolute
Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror
The pictures of time and space are rearranged
In this little piece of typical tragedy
Justified candy, brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
You and me, we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty and a generation that didn't agree
You and me, we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty and a generation that didn't agree
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
I forgot to, I forgot to let you know that
Justified candy, brandy for the nerves
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror
Conquest to the lover and your love to the fire
Permanence unfolding in the absolute
Forgiveness is the ultimate sacrifice
Eloquence belongs to the conqueror
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
You and me, we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty and a generation that didn't agree
You and me, we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty and a generation that didn't agree
Generation (Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
What is in us that turns a deaf ear
To the cries of human suffering?
Suffering, now
Woah!
Suffering, now
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
You and me, we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty and a generation that didn't agree
You and me, we'll all go down in history
With a sad Statue of Liberty and a generation that didn't agree
Generation

[Verse 1: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
I'll wait here, you're crazy
Those vicious streets are filled with strays
You should've never gone to Hollywood
They find you, two-time you
Say you're the best they've ever seen
You should've never trusted Hollywood
[Verse 2: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
I wrote you and told you
You were the biggest fish out here
You should've never gone to Hollywood
They take you and make you
They look at you in disgusting ways
You should've never trusted Hollywood

"We have gone to Hackensack")

Phony people come to pray
