Occupied Tears - Serj Tankian

I forgot to bring you roses

When you hit the floor

You knew the poses

Asking for war

Have you forgot the wall?

I’ve foreseen it all

We’ve foreseen it all

Holocaust, you taste the great fear

How can you just occupy another child’s tear?

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?

The faint cries of lost limbs.

Mimes surrounded by mines.

Without warning signs of the great sacrifice.

Holocaust, you taste the great fear

How can you just occupy another child’s tear?

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?

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

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 head

No more sirens predicting death

Yes, it’s good to state solution

No more glaring through oblivion

Asking for war

Have you forgot the wall?

I’ve foreseen it all

We’ve foreseen it all

Holocaust, you taste the great fear

How can you just occupy another child’s tear?

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?

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

It’s no mystery…

It’s no mystery…
