Serj Tankian - Occupied Tears Lyrics






I forgot to bring you roses
When you hit the floor
Your nouveau poses

Asking for war
Have you forgot the wall?
I've foreseen it all
We've foreseen it all

Holocaust, you tasted 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 tasted 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 the two 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've tasted 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...

Serj Tankian Occupied Tears Comments
  1. �.... �....

    So much criticism towards US military (AHs-64 were put in video accidentally? Maybe Mi-24 would have been more suitable?). Did you forget 9/11? Or armies of other countries are much kinder (of Russia, for example)? On the contrary, as i see the US military acts in the gentlest and the most intelligent way. Sometimes it's helpful to see different shades of black and white. Similar things turn different by this vision. I'm from Ukraine, by the way.

  2. R.... B....

    This needs more views and likes

  3. T.... P....

    That bridge is especially haunting. How it gives a optimistic view of what could happen, but then going back into the more pessimistic first verse, basically showing how it could never happen.

  4. G.... A....

    the only song that let me cry they all run bihand that life

  5. 0.... ....

    What lead to SOAD break down...Serj newer were too into the metal music...and what is these?????bullshit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cTx2ySGB2U&t=126s

  6. M.... 1....

    Israel is trying to have peace but peace cannot be reached with terrorism..
    ("Hamas" is an "army" of terrorists just to let you know.)
    Israel doesn't kill Civilians they kill terrorists! And they doing their best not to kill innocent people.

  7. R.... M....

    1:43 its that sid wilson?

  8. H.... S....

    Its a fantasy world, a big portion of the world wants peace, but how can you apply peace to certain areas when other people want to harm the world? you have to fight back at them. But the true evil is the people in the top high places who ignite those wars for their benefits.

  9. J.... V....

    2019 still ⚡⚡

  10. N.... t....

    Its not the military. It's those have control over them. Corporations more so in disguise of a democracy

  11. m.... ....

    I'm not crying, you are. 😢

  12. M.... S....

    Being half Native American, this song brings to life the blood that America had swept away under the rug

  13. P.... ....

    This is pretty heavy and controversial...

  14. �.... �....

    This song has made me to hate myself and the whole world much more than before.

  15. M.... A....

    And after shity songs like this a war started in syria

  16. m.... d....

    Freedom to Palestine. Serj is keeping it real. Nobody wants war to go on forever. But if the oppressor ever finds peace, that would only mean that he has won.

  17. �.... ....

    We need a new world leader

    Freedom to Palestine. Support BDS

  50. B.... T....

    What a great song , and thank you Serj for having courage to speak up on a injustice where so many others remain silent

  51. I.... N....

    His message is wrong. He points specificly on Israel's acts. If we will "break the wall" as he said, there will be more and more terror as it was befor

  52. s.... M....

    The song resonates with the Syrian civil war & the US occupation of Iraq

  53. G.... A....

    I can't imagine what kind of people dislikes songs like this.

  54. n.... a....

    Serj is the voice of humanity
