[Intro: Daron Malakian] You! Why do they always send the poor? [Verse 1: Serj Tankian] Barbarisms by Barbaras with pointed heels Victorious victories kneel for brand new spanking deals Marching forward, hypocritic and hypnotic computers You depend on our protection, yet you feed us lies from the table cloth [Chorus: Serj Tankian] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine [Verse 2: Serj Tankian] Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom" Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the table cloth [Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine [Bridge: Daron Malakian] Blast off, it's party time And we don't live in a fascist nation Blast off, it's party time And where the fuck are you? [Refrain: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian] Where the fuck are you? Where the fuck are you? Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor? Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? Why they always send the poor? [Verse 2: Serj Tankian] Kneeling roses disappearing into Moses' dry mouth Breaking into Fort Knox, stealing our intentions Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying, "Freedom" Handed to obsoletion, still, you feed us lies from the table cloth [Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, ooh-ooh Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sun [Refrain: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] Where the fuck are you? Where the fuck are you? Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor? Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? [Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian] Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? Why do they always send the poor? They always send the poor, they always send the poor
