Temper

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

Now, we want peace with Patriot missiles

Blown to bits are civilian targets

Parade, laugh, rejoice, sing

We're the victors of nothing

Spend more money on a war

Your people starving, turned to whores

Slaves of the chosen ones

Paying millions for each bomb

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Country without a race

Formed from people you disgrace

White right conservative might

Killers of Kennedy's with no fright

The American way

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

Well, Freedom cried the marching man

Flags ripped out of their black hands

Beaten, slain, tortured, killed

Their only mistake was being born here

Invade countries just for oil

Send your troops all down to boil

Iraq, Grenada, 'Nam and Chile

Truman doctrine, our own way

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Country without a race

Formed from people you disgrace

White right conservative might

Killers of Kennedy's with no fright

The American way

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Serj Tankian]

The government here can suck my balls

Policing the world in overalls

Armed rebellion, minority

Disrespected race, color mind

Crazed loonies all walk the streets

Missing children on milk cartons

Mother selling child for crack

Mr. President, check your back

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Country without a race

Formed from people you disgrace

White right conservative might

Killers of Kennedy's with no fright

The American way

The American way

The American way
