  • i'm disappointed cuz of map at beginning

  • ...and then there was only Madagascar left...

  • Comment removed

  • Yes Serj!

  • blame the nationality for putting our border

  • Anyone else notice the U.S-Mexico border was last to go? Coincidence perhaps?

  • "Fear Divides Nations"

    Reference to the Halocaust and how the Jews where too afraid to stand together against Hitler, That fear divided them.

  • I like it how the boarder between the US and Mexico is the last one to go, lol

  • @acustic I like how i knew that someone was going to make that comment.

  • Perfect no words!

  • It's funny how the border between the US and Mexico is the last one in disappearing.

  • @ferclavel Thats hilarious XD

  • There are many things in this world that make me sad to be a human being. Hunger, poverty, death, disease while in contrast we have luxury, wealth, etc... No one cares, no one does anything about it. Another thing that makes me sad is that music like this, good and that carries a message, goes barely noticed, while songs about "Girls running the world" (Who the hell cares?!), and stuff like that are on the spotlight... Ah well... So long as we have Serj, we have someone to remind us of this.

  • Let me go, you bastard! :(

  • Serj is so right!I was just thinking about this,see any map of earth,there are so many towns,countries,regions,border­s and just sooooo many names,why can't it just be one and only planet Earth?And is there actually a place that isn't taken on this planet?If there is,then i hope that that place never won't be discovered.

  • @DimaBorisov1 uhhhh Antarctica? 

  • @tripledg4527 It would be taken if we wouldn't be so much of pussy's and dare to make it a country and live there (yes i know that eskimos live there but only them)but antarctica still has a name,but yea,you're kinda right.

  • is you ask me this guy is so op.

  • I went back to the begginning of the video to see if that whole green piece was actually just Russia. IT WAS.

  • @jorganbon Oh that's right, many americans don't have maps.

  • @DisturbedAidan2 Nah dude they just never taught us world geography in public school. That's a serious problem. All we ever learned was "America this and that". We rarely talk about the other places othe world. Dont get me wrong, these guys are important, but all we EVER talk about is "george washington and Texas" over and over again for 12 years of school. SO boring I wish we learned about different things.

  • @jorganbon sometimes its better not to here of other countries problems, research teinamen square- the world is filled with shit like that, its horrible to think what we are capable of doing when we have power

  • @xmrsparkx I do know about tiennaman square. But i've researched that on my own. And I know horrible shit happens but I want to know. Knowledge is power. We need to learn from mistakes made by different people at different times. Unfortunately, american public schools spend 99% of the time reminding us the glory of colombus, genocidal maniac.

  • @jorganbon Facepalm...

  • countris separates by religion and politics... if we kill politics and every one belive in the power of the humans not in god... then we will have world peace rith? that is trying to say with this video.... see the end of the video all the map is 1 colour and no borders..... that means world peace....

  • @florinlik07 NO!!!!!!!!!!! that's ridiculous, everyone watching these videos are radical morons, the point isn't to abolish the source of discord; the point of this song/video is to promote tolerance and respect, because ultimately you and i are allowed to disagree, but that doesn't mean we cannot coexist.

  • oh ya notice how the mexican border was the last to go in the vid

  • he knows our problems better than that obama bitch i vote for Serj Tankian

  • Serj should rule the world.

  • If only this could possibly work. We aren't perfect and are greedy. Also the fact that we name places and it only makes sense to decide where those places start and end. Pride is the problem. Nationalism is pride. It is the cause of all wars. Pride from too much power. Serj is partly right. Borders are evidence of pride.

  • Hell on earth..

  • it's only me or this song is a critic of many things but mainly about the how good will be if USA and Mexico would have free circulation of people?....and more than this...I think Serj let the last border, Mexico and USA, as a critic, cause illegal immigration is a huge problem....

  • System of a down > Serj Tankian > Scars on broadway ^^

  • Does anyone know what he's saying in the background?

    

  • @freerunAR His backing vocals almost always use the same words as lead vocals, just in different rhythms.

  • this man is a genius

  • @Ljubisa87 jos kad to kaze neko nas hha :) \m/

  • Thumbs up who is of the world

  • ahora es todo argentina.. jej

  • Because borders are too mainstream

  • the last one had to be the US breaking boarders with mexico? i dont know what to say...

  • Coming from the UK I think the US and Mexico border should be before the Uk and Republic Of Ireland. Great song though!

  • Thumbs up if u want me to stop asking for thumbs up

  • kommataraaa !!

  • 2:22 hungary !!

  • Greece should be at the end of that video :P

    Unfortunatelly we have blood-painted relationships with Turkey...

    (I also believe that the arguement between UK and Ireland is greater than US-Mexico :P )

    I LOVE THE SONG AND THE MEANING

  • I never realized Alaska hated Canada so much. 

  • Awesome song. Hoping people can realize the meaning of this song. Borders only create more segragation and more fear of the unknown. Plus, they are subjective. Orbit Earth, see for yourself. They are a useless remnant from an archaic time when we couldn't even tell where the water in the sky that fell on us came from! Nationalism/Capitalism is a parasite on our planets jugular. And what do we do with parasites? We sure as hell don't let them go on feeding off of us, now do we?

  • People don't understand this video. It's not just about Geographical borders but the borders in our heart aswell, Serj is saying why do we need any kind of borders

  • @MultiSnakeman Didnt think of that. I have more of a politically oriented mind :D

  • Divide and conquer thats the "their" slogan!

  • well at least the mexican border hold out last :/ but still the whole world got overrunned

  • im from malta. would appreciate if malta was actually visible in the map. ...

  • can someone tell me why we need someone to rule us?

    the laws I understand, the rights and duties I understand, now giving power to a bunch of people we don't even know, who only tell lies and make promises they don't intend to keep, that I don't know.

  • Wait. I think we got rick rolled in the beginning.

    Never let you go.

    Never give you up.

    0_o

  • I don't get this vid. Can someone please explain..

  • @koolOVERkill you are dumb

  • Then again, the border between Canada and Alaska was lifted quite some time after the boarder between it and the 48 states. I've a sense this is mostly random. Surely Israel's borders are far harsher than the US/Mexico border.

  • because USA sucks

  • why USA Last ?

  • @brenolorran1 Ask George Bush.

  • @ImmoralFlame68785675 obamas 10xs the facist he was, there all fucking evil, DOWN WITH THE NWO.

  • @codywright99 Doesn't matter, humanity shall fall anyway.

  • @brenolorran1 i think its about the world being united but americas ignrance makes us feel so "unwanted" by the world

  • serj mustve facepalm'd himself when sudan split

  • He should have left the border on North Korea. I don't think there is alot of hope for them :(

  • @MultiSnakeman man if you lose hope you lose the reason live 

  • @Caio10351 I have lost hope, but i stil have a reason to live and that is my dauchter

  • @Dude32123456 do you believe that you daughter gonna be a good woman one day?

  • Comment removed

  • we miss SOAD

  • @mohamadODz

    they're back idiot !!!!

  • thankyou for this,i listened to this alot when my dear cat,miles died,RIP.miles 2007 2010

  • I love his solo, I love SoaD, SoaD are more heavy and something i can headbang to, whereas solo he has a certain beauty to his mussic, a certain finesse, which calms me down...this is why i love Serj Tankian

  • @fangopango System is better .-.

    system is the ''rock in roll'' style and riffs from daron perfectly combined with serj's ''classical'' and ''musical'' style. And more, it has an very good drummer and a fucking AWESOME bassist

  • @GaidonxP thats what you think, i respect your opinion, and i hope you understand that i think theyre both aamazing and i could choose between them if asked

  • People stop talking about borders, this song is about how bad is that subject. We are the future, stop blaming nations, razes, and politicians. Forget about history and start over again with a new evolved mind set.

  • Japan and Australia are still in borders, well known for its high racial prejudicy.

  • @mitsubachi87 Only land-based borders are going away. Cant do anything about the islands, such as Japan, Australia, England...

  • @mitsubachi87 None of them still have borders at the end

  • I enjoy how england isn't changed at all.

  • The whole world became Russia? (in the top 2 comments)

    I wonder how Serj would would feel if the whole world becomes Turkey--or if Armenians lost autonomy & had to abide by a democracy where the world's majority supported Turkish pogroms? ;-| ("Tyranny of the Majority" is a sad fact of life.)

    @McMonoMan sure, England isn't changed...but UK is: without borders, UK no longer has N.Ireland, and without independent governments, Commonwealth would probably lose its cultural bonds...

  • The last....... MÉXICO.... Mi méxico querido .... gracias System of a Down... Serj... you are the better......

  • haha i had to repeat the part where the American-Mexican border was lifted. ahh if only we could fix the world with a song... <3

    thanks Serj

  • @JukeBoxMoonlightSin *wouldnt it be great to hear the world, with only a song

  • @JukeBoxMoonlightSin

    Mexico even today STILL treats full-blood natives worse than USA; the Spanish fathers of Mexicacas stole land, not only gringos stole land, and now most Mexicacas follow their fathers' (Euro) ways -- not any native culture.

    "Aztlan" dreamers are a joke b/c tribes in TX-to-CA were NOT Aztecan. Similarly, Panama-to-Guate = non-Aztec tribes...yet Mexicacas as COLONIALIST as USA resisted us [CentAm]breaking away from Mexi self-serving power: history repeats.

  • @ThalamusMinimus Your comment is too true it hurts. I am part mexican and my family are proud that we have native blood but then they go ahead and renounce the teachings of that side of the family.

  • @ThalamusMinimus

    damn i wont pretend to understand what you just said! hah

    my only argument, is that the US is always contradicting itself.

    I Love the US, i am a Mexican American, and the US is my home BUT some things need to change.

  • This is better then history and geo class lol. Mind blown

  • Mexican-USA border is the last :D

  • on the one hand we are all one so a one world government seems like the best approach, on the other hand that gives government WAY too much power and control over the population.

  • put that in 3d it would be sooo epic

  • ''As the water rises we're merely covering our feet'' and then the border from portugal-spain lift's. Bravo Serj, you nailed us.

  • what a stange thong the mexico-e.e.u.u line was the last one¬¬

  • Unity is an UTOPIA, deal with it. European Unions shows, that union of too many countries economically and historically different form each other is a wrong idea.

    Please, leav nations alone. We want to leave in our fatherlands, we want to get better thank ourselvs, and not thank donations or etc.

  • so,the whole world became Russia?

  • @KimBobTraktor do you miss the whole point of the song?

  • @KimBobTraktor

    И чё?

  • @KimBobTraktor no... whole world became Portugal xP

  • ironically the U.S. border with Mexico was the last ending

    irónicamente la frontera de estados unidos con México fue la ultima el terminar

  • Anyone else notice how much longer Alaska's border lasts than the main Canadian-US border?

  • Many people don't understand the meaning of this video. The borders start dissapearing starting with those that are more friendly, and ending with some of the harshest borders in the world.

  • @DylanSmith1997 State the obvious.

  • @DylanSmith1997 I don't think you understand the video, since that is not the case. The border India-Pakistan, for example, is disappearing as one of the first, but you can't say that this is a very friendly border... Nice try tho.

  • @DylanSmith1997 I'd hardly call the Pakistan-India border friendly. But thanks for explaining that. I'd never really paid that much attention to the video

  • @weebleking70 Yeah but that was far from the first, dont you agree?

  • @DylanSmith1997 I wasn't surprised that the border between America and Mexico was last..

  • @DylanSmith1997 Really? I dont think so. unless you prove it, Im not buying it. There are several worse borders. Let's start with Korean. After, the Middle Eastern ones.

    Then, some of the African ones.

    I dont think there is a strict pattern here. Maybe the first ones and last ones may have some reason, but All?

  • @DylanSmith1997 Are you fucking kidding me?! I don`t see how are the borders between USA and Canada, Russia and Kazahstan more friendly? USA and Canada hate each others guts and Kazahstan and Russia... Well, Russia wants SSSR again!

  • @LanselotAvogadro, USA and Canada hate each others guts,really? I lived in both the US and Canada and never got that feeling.

  • @LanselotAvogadro they love to hate each other. thats something different, though i do agree that russia does not like kazahstan

  • Comment removed

  • @DylanSmith1997 i wanna agree with you, but why was the border between iraq and kuwait gone so quickly

  • i noticed this a while ago but do you think theres a hidden meaning in this video where the canadian-american border dissapears first and the mexican-american border disapears last?

  • Serj na prezydenta polski kurwa premiera i kurwa calego zasranego rządu !!! w koncu bedzie kurwa spokoj i dostatek w posce!!!!!!!!

  • I hate people who can't keep up with me and just spew profanity at me.

  • @CtrlAltDeleteYurAzz a retarded baby seal can keep up with you

  • @TripleStarHunter Uh-huh, keep on trollin bro

  • You can also watch this song from the perspective of love. Double-meaning.

  • fuck my country goes 1st ;(

  • Depois dizem que Letras Inglesas não tem Conteudo, e o que tem conteudo para o brasil e aquelas porras de Ai se eu te pego, Aha isso ai, Serj Tankian O poeta politico Polegares pra cima quem concorda!

  • Why was the border between Mexico and the United States last and the slowest?

  • @MrPitoBear Yeah, frankly I would have thought it would be the border between Pakistan and India, North Korea and South Korea, or Israel and... well every country around it.

  • @MrPitoBear Because that is the one that is most often an issue in the US?

  • thums up si vienes por CR!!

  • Serj for President!

  • I duno Borders gone doesn't change leaders warmongering for profits DX

  • @baymandernamonia They ARE back together. Check their site, they will be touring in Australia around the end of February and begin of March =]

  • serj wouldnt want to be president, the world has come to far in the direction he dusnt want it to

  • just curious but why was mexicos border last?

  • @trappedinmydream its not just "mexico border", its the Mexico-USA border ;)

  • @trappedinmydream why does it matter?

  • there is an add that shows the obama family and says wish them luck in 2012...after this I will never do that

  • RON PAUL 2012

  • dear Serj:

    I have watched all of your videos, and there's only one thing I can tell you: you are the greatest musician I've ever listened to, you have such great ideas and your lyrics and videos too are masterpieces; a man like you should "reign" (I didn't think of other way to say this), because you know about the problems that exist in the world in these days and I think you know what people should do... well, that's all I can say, thank you for your music.

    pd: sorry for my poor English

  • es increible todo lo que este marvilloso ser humano piensa, pero como se ve en el video todo mundo sabe que la ultima frontera (entre Mexico y E.U) es casi imposible quitar me da tanta vergüenza esto, me duele tanto como quisiera que lo que se muestra en el video pasara que no nos separan los malditos muros, las religiones, las razas eso es lo mejor que pasaria en la vida de la humanidad ayudemos a Serj si cada uno pone de su parte se podra lograr poco a poco. PIENSENLO!!!

  • You have understand that a large majority of animals on this planet are territorial, as are humans. We're just able to expand and control more than other animals because we are more intelligent than them. Also nature is violent as are humans, the reason people"hate" (for the most part) is because we don't like things that are different or it has been passed down by an elder or someones role model.

  • Send Serj Tankian to deal with WestBoro baptist, he will kick all there asses with his music.

  • I thought it was amusing that the last country he united was Mexico.

  • There are a lot of good music on the Internet, which sounds good but that's all.Serj's music has message.That 's why i love him.

  • great song for a James Bond movie...

  • Serj's solo stuff is 100x better than System's stuff. And I really love System. This stuff is just so much more musical.

  • @travz21 But Soad is unique, the have to get back toghether

  • @DaveLeFu they are already back together

    didnt u know?

  • @travz21 i feel it has more feeling, and same here, one of the best band of all time in my eyes, but this, this is something else :D

  • @travz21 Just with much less passion,thought and all around dullness.

  • @travz21 But who plays everything else... Like isnt it system, but its just named after him for some reason.

  • @travz21 System is this PLUS metal, that's why i love them and that's why for me they are best band fucking ever

  • @travz21 I disagree

  • SERJ FOR CP

  • This solo stuff is shit, get back with system its your only chance....

  • @Taud Do you have a serious problem? I don't really care if he's in System or going solo, as long he keeps making awesome music like this. Serj is fucking great!

  • @KreepYo No, but you do since youre crying to me : P

  • @Taud o_O

  • @KreepYo Whut chu lookin at fukin BUG EYEZ?

  • @Taud I don't really know. I guess that I'm looking at my computer screen..?

  • His voice is so smooth, so lovely. :)

    *swoons*

  • Granted, it is not like System of a Down, but I do consider it better and richer music, and I applaud Mr. Tankian for his brilliant musical and lyrical expression, to the point of becoming an inspiration.

    And somehow, before seeing it, I knew the American-Mexican border would be the last to go, and had a gut feeling this was a song concerning the controversial topic of immigration

  • Wow this shits weak get back with SOAD

  • The thought of world peace is intoxicating... However impossible. As much as I would like to say "My dad doesnt have to go over-seas anymore to kill people" I know I will not be able to for quite some time, the fact-of-the-matter is... Whenever there is unity, whenever there is happiness, there is always hate. If we moved towards World Peace we would only unite all those that simply wish to watch the world. It is not a singular governments fault. It is the peoples fault.

  • -Sigh- Will you all just shut the fuck up please?

    The fact of the matter is that hate comes from everywhere whether it is U.S.A or any other place on this Earth. Everyone is wrong, everybody are hypocrites in some way.

    (Yes Even Serj) :(

    A perfect world is a world without man, men are the harbingers of destruction and consumption.

    If you all really want to fix this world then your going to have to fix yourselves.

    Anyone who wants to argue feel free (There are always a few)

    Have a nice day.

  • @CtrlAltDeleteYurAzz you have a nice day too. . .

  • @CtrlAltDeleteYurAzz yet the only true way of fixing humanity would be to kill us all...

    would you be the first to put a bullet in your brain?

  • @eltonjesus69 If I was certain my death would not be invain then yes.

    But I wouldn't mindlessly kill myself if no good would come from it.

  • @CtrlAltDeleteYurAzz you are completely correct with what you have said... i agree with you one hundred percent. Sadly this will never happen.

  • @Simmons432 Somebody agreed with me? :)
