Serj Tankian Pop Imperialism
[Intro]
Love, baby
I want you to cry, baby
I want you to try, baby
I want you to die, baby
[Refrain]
For tearing
I'm a stray at the dead
Make mundane
Qualified just to find
Pass to rise
Serenade path of man, kids prevail
Over hands held by nails
Crucify, verified, petrified
In the rain
(Love, baby)
I'm a stray at the dead
Make mundane
(I want you to cry, baby)
Qualified just to find
Pass to rise
(I want you to try, baby)
Serenade path of man, kids prevail
Over hands held by nails
(I want you to die, baby)
Crucify, verified, petrified
In the rain
[Chorus]
Pop, pop imperialism forging unhealthy alliances
Savagе transformation
Of the world of appliances
The arms and lеgs of martyred men
Don't civilization
Chared and dropped from their sockets
The truth of formations
[Verse 1]
Nations come together as one
Forming candles in the sun
The candle burns deep inside his head
His wax mind finally dead
His wax mind, they all had learned
Had secrets of those that burned
In the valleys with a gun
They still didn't reach the sun, sun, sun
[Verse 2]
Now, nations come together as one
Sending killers on the run
Controlling the crowd
They take the killers
Place bold and proud
Now even if I wasn't dead
I'd see the dying straight ahead
Believe in your own destiny
Life is not, you seem to be
[Verse 3]
Now, nations come together as one
Chase the children to the desert
And let them frizzle away and fry
Although in their mothers' eyes
We can say or do most anything
As long as we're allowed to think, think, think
Let's make an example of them all
Take the institution down to a fall
[Chorus]
Pop, pop imperialism forging unhealthy alliances
Savage transformation
Of the world of appliances
The arms and legs of martyred men
Don't civilization
Chared and dropped from their sockets
The truth of formations
[Outro]
For tearing
I'm a stray at the dead
Make mundane
Qualified just to find
Pass to rise
Serenade path of man, kids prevail
Over hands held by nails
Crucify, verified, petrified
In the rain
