Attack Lyrics
[Intro: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Breathing each other's lives
Holding this in mind
That if we fall, we all fall
And we fall alone
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
The cold insincerity of steel machines
Have consumed our euphoria
Transforming us into muted dreams
Dreaming of the day that
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
We attack, attack, attack your fetal servitude
We attack, attack, attack, attack with pesticide
We attack, all the years of propaganda
We shall attack
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
Books illustrate what we already know
Candles cry towards the sky
Raising your flags along polluted coast
Dreaming of the day that
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
We attack, attack, attack your fetal servitude
We attack, attack, attack, attack with pesticide
We attack, all the years of propaganda
We shall attack
[Post-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Attack
Attack
[Bridge: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
Breathing each other's lives
Holding this in mind
That if we fall, we all fall
And we fall alone
Breathing each other's lives
Holding this in mind
That if we fall, we all fall
And we fall alone
[Verse 3: Serj Tankian]
What's the philosophy of displaced mines?
The bombing of all homes and villages
Truth is the only sword bleeding minds
Bleeding 'til the day that
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
We attack, attack, attack your fetal servitude
We attack, attack, attack, attack with pesticide
We attack, all the years of propaganda
We shall attack
[Outro: Serj Tankian]
Attack all the homes and villages
Attack all the schools and hospitals
You attack all the rapes and pillages
We shall attack, we shall attack
Dreaming Lyrics
[Intro: Serj Tankian]
For today, we will take their body parts
And put them on the wall
[Verse: Serj Tankian]
For treated indigenously, digenously
Human right is private blue chip, pry
For treated indigenously, digenously
(We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water)
Human right is private blue chip, pry
(Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die)
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
You, you went beyond and you lost it all
Why did you go there?
From beyond, you saw it all
Why did you?
[Verse: Serj Tankian]
For treated indigenously, digenously
(We lost consumer confidence in casual karma, casual karma)
Human right is private blue chip, pry
(Confetti, camouflage, camouflage, the flage, the flage)
For treated indigenously, digenously
(We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water)
Human right is private blue chip, pry
(Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die)
[Chorus: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
You, you went beyond and you lost it all
Why did you go there?
From beyond, you saw it all
Why did you go there?
[Bridge: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
She lost her mind
Someone kicked her into the back of the line
She lost her head
When they called and said that they thought he was dead
[Refrain: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't deny
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't de–
[Verse: Serj Tankian]
For treated indigenously, digenously

Human right is private blue chip, pry

For treated indigenously, digenously
(We're the prophetic generation of bottled water, bottled water)
Human right is private blue chip, pry
(Causing poor populations to die, to die, to die)
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
You, you went beyond and you lost it all
Why did you go there
From beyond, you saw it all
Why did you?
[Post-Chorus: Daron Malakian]
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Ah, ah, ah-ah
[Refrain: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't deny
Dreaming of screaming
Someone kick me out of my mind, I hate these thoughts I can't de–
[Outro: Serj Tankian]
You will take the body parts and put 'em on the wall
And bring the dark disaster
Kill Rock ’n Roll Lyrics
[Verse: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
So I felt like the biggest asshole
(Felt like the biggest asshole)
When I killed your rock 'n' roll
(Mow down the sexy people)
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
Every time I look in your eyes
Every day, I'm watching you die
All the thoughts I see in you
About how I
[Verse: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
So I felt like the biggest asshole
(Felt like the biggest asshole)
When I killed your rock 'n' roll

[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
Every time I look in your eyes
Every day, I'm watching you die
All the thoughts I see in you
About how I
[Post-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Why?
Why?
[Bridge: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Eat all the grass
Eat all the grass that you want
Accidents happen in the dark
Eat all the grass that you want
Accidents happen in the dark
Eat all the grass that you want
Accidents happen in the dark
Eat all the grass that you want
Accidents happen
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Every time I look in your eyes
Every day, I'm watching you die
All the thoughts I see in you
About how I
[Post-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Why?
Why?
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
So, I felt like the biggest asshole
When I killed rock 'n' roll
And I felt like the biggest asshole
When I killed rock 'n' roll
Hypnotize Lyrics
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Why don't you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square?
Was fashion the reason why they were there?
They disguise it, hypnotize it
Television made you buy it
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
I'm just sitting in my car and
Waiting for my
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
She's scared that I will take her away from there
Dreams and her country left with no one there
Mesmerized the simple-minded
Propaganda leaves us blinded
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
I'm just sitting in my car and
Waiting for my girl
I'm just sitting in my car and
Waiting for my girl
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
I'm just sitting in my car and
Waiting for my girl
I'm just sitting in my car and
Waiting for my girl
Stealing Society Lyrics
[Intro: Daron Malakian]
Yeah
Alright
Yeah, alright
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
Two skies watching it all fading
Two skies living it all fading
Two skies watching it all fading
Two skies fading, one's abating
Two suns living it all, dying
Two suns fighting, one's abiding
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
Two suns watching them both fighting
Two suns seeing them both dying
Two suns watching them both fighting
Two suns fighting, one's abiding
Two skies seeing them both dying
Two skies fading, one's abating
Ah, ah, ah
[Pre-Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Crack pipes, needles, PCP, and fast cars
Kind of mix really well in a dead movie star
When I feel like talking, I never be wrong
If I feel like walking, you best come along
I close my windows, crank the heat up high (Na, na, na, na, na, na)
'Til my palms are wet and my tongue is dry (Na, na, na, na, na, na)
[Chorus: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
I'm looking for a mother that'll get me high
(Na, na, na, na, na, na)
Just a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die
(Na, na, na, na, na, na)
I'm a midnight fistfight
Looking for a mother that will get me high
Just a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die
I'm a midnight fistfight
Looking for a mother that will get me high
Just a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die, alright
I'm looking for a mother that will get me high
Just a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die, alright
(Two suns fighting, one's abiding)
Looking for a mother that will get me high
Just a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die
(Two skies fading, one's abating)
'Cause I'm looking for a mother that'll get me high
Just a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die
(Two suns fighting, one's abiding)
Yeah, I am looking for a mother that will get me high
I'm a stupid motherfucker; if I die, I die, alright
(Two skies, two suns, watching them all go)
[Outro: Daron Malakian]
Yeah
Alright
Yeah, alright
Tentative Lyrics
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
Superstition taking all of us for a ride
Mimes overtaken by the signs of the Right
The bombs are falling overhead with no sight
While you are talking all detached, so tell us
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Where you going? To the bottom?
Do you hear us? We are rotting
[Chorus: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
We're going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Ceremonies have killed religions, for they provide
The masked comforts to delusionals, they're all in fright
The true believer's head was bathed and in sunlight
While you are walking all detached, so tell us
[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Where you going? To the bottom?
Do you hear us? We are rotting
[Chorus: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
We're going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now
Not even God, no one saved us
No one's gonna save us
[Bridge: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall? Ah, ah
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
Where do you expect them to go when the bombs fall? Ah
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
[Verse 3: Serj Tankian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Superstition taking all of us for a ride
Mimes overtaken by the signs of the Right
The bombs are falling overhead with no sight
While you are talking all detached
Detached, detached, detached, detached
[Chorus: Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Going down in a spiral to the ground
No one, no one's gonna save us now
Not even God, no one saved us, no one saved us
No one saved us, no one's gonna save us now
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?
U‐Fig Lyrics
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
Melt in the sun, melt in the sun
Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun?
Hide in the sky, hide in the sky
Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky?
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
You and me should go outside
And beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em
All pathetic, flag-waving, ignorant geeks
And we'll eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em

Come join the cause, come join the cause
Who wants to come with me and come join the cause?
Hide in the sky, hide in the sky
Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky?

You and me should go outside
And beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em

You and me should go outside
And beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em
All pathetic, flag-waving, ignorant geeks
And we'll eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em
[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
Realize you're blind
And we're out of time, it'll show your mind
Melt in the sun, melt in the sun
Who wants to come with me and melt in the sun?
Hide in the sky, hide in the sky
Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky?
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
You and me should go outside
And beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em beat 'em
All pathetic, flag-waving, ignorant geeks
And we'll eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em
You and me should go outside
And beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em beat 'em
All pathetic, flag-waving, ignorant geeks
And we'll eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em
Eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em
Eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em
Eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em

We have learned that you have no

Honor, murderer, sodomizer! Back to the river Aras
They have returned, resting on the mountainside
We have learned that you have no

She’s Like Heroin Lyrics
[Verse 1: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save her ass
Chinese tricks in rooms with ghosts of hooker girly dudes
Me and heroin, maybe we can make some cash selling
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
[Verse 2: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
She wants nothing more but to be a little whore
He wants nothing less but to wear a little dress
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to make some cash selling
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
[Interlude: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
La-la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Bridge: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save her ass
She wants nothing more but to be a little whore
He wants nothing less but to wear a little dress
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save her ass
Chinese tricks in rooms with ghosts of hooker girly dudes
Me and heroin, maybe we can make some cash

Lonely Day Lyrics
[Verse 1: Daron Malakian]
Such a lonely day and it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
[Verse 2: Daron Malakian]
Such a lonely day shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss
Such a lonely day and it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
[Bridge: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Soldier Side 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
