Know (Live at Irving Plaza, 1999)

Lyrics

[Intro: Serj Tankian] Cursed Earth! Cursed Earth! Cursed Earth! Cursed Earth! [Verse 1: Serj Tankian] I will never feed off the evergreen luster of your heart All because we all live in the valley of the walls When they speak we can peek from the windows of their mouths To see the land the women chant as they fly up to the sun [Chorus: Serj Tankian] You never think you know why! Know, you never think you know why! Know, ever think you know why? Know! Know! [Verse 2: Serj Tankian] The books all say different things while people flap their yellow wings Trying to soar, being a whore, life and almost everything The sheep that ran off from herd, maybe dead, now's a bird Able to fly, able to die, able to fuck your mother's earth [Chorus: Serj Tankian] You never think you know why! Know, you never think you know why! Know, ever think you know why? Know [Bridge: Serj Tankian] On the other side, the other side, the other side You ever try to fly? You ever try to fly? Have you ever wanted to die? Have you ever wanted to die? Don't ever try to fly, don't ever try to fly Don't ever try to fly unless you leave your body on the other side! Never try to die, did you ever try to die? [Chorus: Serj Tankian] Know, you never think you know why! Know, you never think you know why! Know, you never think you know why! Know, ever think you know why? Know!
