This song is about seeking revenge for the loss of a child called ‘Clementine.’ The song is mainly about an abortion that took place against the father’s will. Since the decision was out of his hands, his revenge will be the regret that she will feel in the future. “It’s in the making.”
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
Poisoning a drink, bleeding in a sink
Choking with a link, killing with a stink
Just your mother's ho
Bleeding in a sink, poisoning a drink
Burning up, my sweet Clementine
Trampling a shrink, bleeding in a sink
Hallelujah wink, getting on the brink
Just your mother's ho
Hallelujah wink, murdering a shrink, burning up
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
On my sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
Killing with a stink, bleeding in a sink
Poisoning a drink, getting on the brink
Just your mother's ho
Bleeding in a sink, trampling a shrink
Burning up, my sweet Clementine
Poisoning a drink, bleeding in a sink
Choking with a link, killing with a stink
Just your mother's ho
Poisoning a drink, bleeding in a sink, burning up
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, oh
[Bridge: Daron Malakian with Serj Tankian]
I saw her laugh
Then she said, "Go away"
I saw her laugh
Then she said, then she said
"Go away, away"
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
[Chorus: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
My sweet revenge will be yours for the taking
It's in the making, baby, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah
My sweet revenge will be yours, it's in the making
It's in the taking, making, baking, taking, faking
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
[Outro: Serj Tankian & Daron Malakian]
Ho, my sweet Clementine
Ho, shoulda been, coulda been
Woulda been, woulda been you
Shoulda been, coulda been
Woulda been, woulda been you
