"Cherry", also known as "Virginity" or "Virgin Tea", is an unreleased track from the leaked demo album Toxicity II.

Title[]

The original title is most likely "Cherry", which in this context means the hymen[1] regarded as a symbol of virginity. The other two were derived from the song's lyrics.

Lyrics[]

[Intro: Serj Tankian]

I don't know why she called

"Cherry/Virginity/Virgin Tea"
Song by System of a Down
Recorded Sometime in 2001-2002
Length 1:51

But it was her strange way

Of tellin' me about her

Fuck! [Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]

She told me she was the one and then everything was done

And then I looked around, what did I see?

She told me she was the one and then everything was done

And then I looked around and, what did I see?

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Well, I fucked her!

Right underneath the tree

And I can't believe I took her virginity

Virginity, virginity

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]

And then I just woke up,

what a strange nightmare

My eyes couldn't focus,

Was it her?

Was it a friend or foe?

I didn't really know

But as I turned around, what did I see?

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Well, I fucked her

Right underneath the tree

And I can't believe I took her virginity

Virginity, virginity

[Bridge: Serj Tankian]

Virgin tea, virgin tea, virgin tea, virgin tea

Won't you buy some virgin tea?

Won't you buy some virgin tea?

Won't you buy some virgin tea?

Won't you buy some virgin tea? [Chorus: Serj Tankian]

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]

Well, I fucked her

Right underneath the tree

And I can't believe I took her virginity

Virginity, virginity [Outro: Serj Tankian]

[Outro: Serj Tankian]

And then I just woke up

What a strange nightmare

My eyes couldn't focus

Was it her?

Why was it not released onto Steal This album?[]

Probably due to the lyrics being very inappropriate.
