Lives
Daron Malakian and Scars On Broadway Lyrics

Everybody dance, when you dance, when you wanna dance
It's okay to dance whenever you want, do what makes you happy.

When you wanna dance, you will get in a trance
Dancing can be so fulfilling it can make you enter a transcendental state of mind.

Everybody sees, what they see, what they wanna see
Perception of the world is subjective, and what people see is a reflection of their own thoughts and desires.

Everyone believes what they never have seen
Believing in something without direct experience or evidence is a common human trait.

Come with me, let's go, where we trace back the lies that show
Let's explore the truth and try to uncover what has been hidden from us.

You will never know unless you come with me, let's go
You need to be open to new experiences and explore to find the truth.

All of our lives we put up a fight, oh oh
Life is a constant struggle, and we have to work hard to overcome obstacles.

Our heroes have died
Even heroes can fall, but their legacy remains and inspires us.

All of our lives we've known wrong from right
We have a moral compass that guides our actions throughout our lives.

Our people survived, oh oh
We are resilient and can survive even the toughest challenges.

Everyone get high, there's no need to justify
People should be allowed to do what makes them feel good.

We will occupy and we all know the reasons why
We stand up for what we believe in and will do what it takes to make a change.

We will occupy and we drink tea 'till we die
We are determined to see things through to the end, even if it takes a lifetime.

Knowing something true absolutely unbearable
Sometimes the truth can be hard to handle, and it's easier to ignore it.

Knowing something true that will change the world I know
The truth can be powerful and transformative, and it can change the world.

All of our lives, all of our lives
Throughout our entire lives, we face challenges and obstacles.

Our soul will survive, oh oh
Our spirit is strong, and it will endure even after we're gone.

We are the people who were kicked out of history
We represent the voices and stories that have been ignored or silenced throughout history.

We are the people who exist in victory
Despite the odds, we have emerged victorious and stand tall.

You will deny, we will verify
Those who oppose us will be proven wrong, and we will find the truth.

How long can you run
You can't hide from the truth forever, eventually it will catch up to you.

So it shall be done
We will see our mission through to the end, no matter what.

All of our lives we've put up a fight
We have always had to fight for what we believe in.

Survived genocide, survived genocide
Despite the horrors of the past, we have survived and continue to thrive.
