Тексты альбома Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead (Elect The Dead lyrics)

01. EMPTY WALLS

Empty walls, empty walls

Pretentious attention
Dismissive aprehension
Don't waste your time on coffins today
When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls.
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls.

Those empty walls.

When we decline from the confines of our mind
Don't waste your time on coffins today

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication
Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls.
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls.
Want you to be left behind those empty walls.
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls.

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
The walls.
I loved you yesterday before you killed my family.

Don't you see their bodies burning
Desolate and full of yearning
Dying of anticipation
Choking from intoxication

I want you to be left behind those empty walls.
Taunt you to see from behind those empty walls.
Want you to be left behind those empty walls.
I taught you to see from behind those empty walls.

From behind those empty walls
From behind those empty walls
Those walls, those walls.

02. THE UNTHINKING MAJORITY

We don't need your democracy
Execute them kindly for me
Take them by their filthy nostrils
Put them up in doggie hostels
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable

We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
We don't need your hypocrisy
Execute real democracy
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority
Post-industrial society
The unthinking majority

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade

Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable
Making life more tolerable
Anti-depressants
Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable

Controlling tools of your system
Making life more tolerable

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade

Execute them kindly for me
Take them by their filthy nostrils

I believe that you're wrong
Insinuating they hold the bomb
Clearing the way for the oil brigade
Clearing the way for the oil brigade

03. MONEY

Money,
All for money,
Save your money
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Keep your money
All for money,

Waning patience
People's appetite
Disposition
This possession
Dispossessed from all the attractions,
Dancing bears of eroticism,
Self absorbed delusion
Inclusion of dysfunction
I now await the triumphant
Lost baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money,

My final surrender
Away from inclusion
I now await the triumphant,
Left baggage, train station,

The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of a down,
The causes of ineptitude
Can be traced to my mandatory down,
The causes of my servitude
Can be traced to the tyranny of

Money,
All for money,
Make your money,
Hide your money,
Stuff your money,
Hump your money
Save your money
All for money
Money, money, money, money.

04. FEED US

Maybe we believe
she was ready to go
In the morning light
Maybe you believe
That she was made of gold
In the east where you killed her
You lead us
When you need to feed us
You comfortably delete us
When you need your fetus,

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out,

Goodbye, goodbye,

She speaks unrehearsed
Lauguages from skin
In the morning light
Painting shadows on the
faces of the dead
In front of their windows,

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Before its too late,

Do you know that life is ending,
As we go, the dots connecting,
We had our chance to save the garden,
As it dies, our souls will harden,
With these words chastising your conscience
Were breaking through and praying for transcendence.

But you deceived us all now,

You cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out and,
Cheat us when you feed us with the lie,
Stars look out.

05. SAVING US

Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight,
Why do we dance around
The issues till the morning light,
When we sit and talk and
Tear each other's lives apart,
You were the one to tell me go,
But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more,
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight,
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all of mother God,

Tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, you're breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us,

Why do we sit around and
Break each other's hearts tonight,
Why do we dance around
The issues till the morning light,
When we sit and talk and
Tear each other's lives apart,
You were the one to tell me go,
But you were the one for me
And now you're going through the door
When you take that step
I love you baby more and more,
We need to laugh and sing and cry
And warm each other's hearts tonight,
Observing the fun of everything
And loving all of mother God,

Tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, you're breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us,

Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever
Forever alive, forever alive, forever, never and ever again,

You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, you're breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us, you're saving us,
You're tearing us, you're tearing us,
You're breaking us, breaking us,
You're killing us, killing us,
You're saving us,

Forever alive, forever alive, forever, forever
Forever alive, forever alive, forever, never and ever again.

06. SKY IS OVER

Everybody knows,
Everybody knows,
That you cradle the sun, sun
Living in remorse,
Sky is over,

Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,

Behind closed eyes lie
The minds ready to awaken you,
Are you at war with land
And all of it's creatures,
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known to wreck economies
Of countries, of empires, the sky is over,

Don't you want to hold me baby,
Disappointed, going crazy,

Not even from the sun,
Not even from the sun
Not even from the sun,
Don't you want me to run,

Even though you can't afford
The sky is over,
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
I don't want to see you go,
The sky is over
Even though we can't afford
The sky is over,
The sky is over us.

07. BABY

You came to me within a dream
Not everyone is who they seem,
All these words we cant redeem,
Like the great magic of our world,
Corroborated by your words,
Splitting planets into thirds.

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

To all the leaves that fall in vain,
While god and goddess go insane
All these words in your domain,
The watches kill time as the books read,
Inadvertently we bleed
Fighting for what we deceive,

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

Leave me alone,
Leave me alone,
Now why cant you see that you always perturb me so
Nearing the end of the world, just leave me alone, leave me alone
Why cant you see that you always perturb me so
Nearing the end of the world, leave me alone,
Leave me alone.

Baby oh baby,
Baby my baby,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you, lalala,
Baby oh baby,
Baby my babe,
Baby ooh babe
I miss you

08. HONKING ANTELOPE

Why dont you go photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Indigenous traces, tribal chiefs,
Vanishing hereditary lines,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Nature based being will survive
Apocalyptic days of now,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now,
My life,

We are the cause of a world thats gone wrong,
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,

Why don't you go and photograph
Everything that ever passed in time,
Poets gone wild on the muse
Prophets all destroying the Tao,

When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,
When you see that honking antelope,
The secret dance of snakes, the tales of it all,

Of it all,
Run away with me now,
Run away with me now,
My love,

We are the cause of a world thats gone wrong,
Nature will survive us human dogs after all,
We are the cause of a world thats gone wrong,
Wouldn't it be great to heal the world
With only a song.

09. LIE LIE LIE

My baby, my baby,
Let me know
Because you love me, you love me
Let me go
And you're my lover, you pay me
Twice my size
And on your knees you lay
In my thighs,

Take my hand and let's end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and let's end it all,

My baby, My baby
Let me go,
And if you love me, you love me,
Let me go,
Cause I'm your brother, your brother,
Have some pride,
And now you love me, you love me
Then die tonight

Take my hand and lets end it all,
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Take my hand and lets end it all,
Broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
And while she fell I delightfully said,

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

She took my hand and I let her go
She broke her little bones
On the boulders below,
Took my hand and she ended it all,
Broke her little bones on the boulders below,
And while she fell, I smiled.

Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie
Lalalalalalalala lie lie lie

10. PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION

Come lay it down, won't you,
Come burn it down, can't you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground
Come lay it down, won't you,
Come burn it down, can't you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don't know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,
Life affirming and our spiritual trust

Lay it down, won't you,
Come burn it down, can't you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don't know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,

Buddha, Mohammad and the Hindu
Lost 100
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,
People still ask when will Armageddon begin,

Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,
Dragging my feet any longer through the pussy litter,

Nlelith is a prophet
From the prophet came the king
From the king came the pauper
From the pauper came the swing
From the swing came creation
From creation came love,
You don't know what this love is all about,

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Praise praise the Lord and pass the ammunition,

Do we ever have enough,
When we see that blue dove
Do we ever have enough
When we see that blue dove
We want to go where no one's been
No one's been

Come lay it down, won't you,
Come burn it down, can't you,
Lay it down, the guns above the ground
Won't you.

11. BEETHOVEN'S CUNT

Brushing, touching, feeling on your shoulders,
Believing, appealing, kneeling in your worlds,
Oceans are combined,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed him to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe in me,

I've been walking through these dead farms
But I don't mind,
I've been screaming through these dead lungs,
But I can't find,

Being that I love you so much
In the end they all will say
Breaking someone else's heart again,

Find the little evil perpetrator
And feed her to the hungry alligator
You want it all,
You want it all,
Love is not about the profits
Nor the riches in your dreams,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time,
Do you believe, in me,

But lately I've been blind
You leave me all alone, left in time,
You left me here to die, left in time,
Leave me all alone, left in time,

The arms of time are breaking off,
Civilization is on trial,
The clocks eliminating time
Do you believe in nothing.

But lately I've been blind
Leave me all alone, left in time.

12. ELECT THE DEAD

Arms are raised above the sky,
But all I want is me

You are there beside the night
But all I want is me
All I want is me.

Love we know
Comes from inside,
But all I want is me,
All I want is me.

Death we know
Comes to us alive
But all I want is you,

Death we know
Comes to all of us alive
But all I want is you,
All I need is you,
All I want...
