Serj Tankian of System of a Down today has released a new song called “Harakiri” and album by the same name. It is his third solo studio album. The track is politically themed and includes images of birds falling from sky and dead fish, apparently due to the destruction of the earth by the people. Video includes quotes from Jean-Paul Sartre and Ralph Waldo Emerson. A recordings from a Ronald Reagan speech and Lyndon Johnson’s infamous “Daisy” campaign ad is also featured.

The Ronald Reagan quote says: “We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. There’s no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”

However, it has been altered from it’s original and is a combination of two different speeches.
