Shawn Drover

A great sign appeared
Under the stars and the moon
Sounds of galloping horses
On clouds of lightning and thunder

A dark gathering storm
To scorch the earth for many generations
A nuclear winter
Worse than any cold or holy war

A white horse on the clouds of death
A red warhorse to end all wars
A pale horse and pestilence led by a
Black horse with famine and scales

The doctrine of hatred
Nation will rise against nation
Wash me in blood and let me be
The firstborn of the dead

A crowned rider with arrows and bow
A red rider with a great firey sword
Flames come from the one called death
Horror and apocalypse follows

(RIDE!) Won't you four horsemen ride again
Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come

I hold fast to what I believe
Till I see my name in stone

Blessed are the dead

A white horse on the clouds of death
A red warhorse to end all wars
A pale horse and pestilence led by a
Black horse with famine and scales

The synagogue of satan
Nation will rise against nation
Wash me in blood and let me be
The firstborn of the dead

A crowned rider with arrows and bow
A red rider with a great firey sword
Flames come from the one called death
Horror and apocalypse follows

(RIDE!) Won't you four horsemen ride again
Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come
I hold fast to what I believe
Till I see my name in stone

Blessed are the dead

When someone becomes nothing to anyone
Whilst feelings have died
Anyone would know it
They set out stick and stones
They say they'd crush my bones
I say, I don't get mad, I get even
Before they do

Spoils go to the victor
I'm dead on time
Your time is going to come

[Chorus]
One day I'll dance on your graves
Even if you're buried at sea
Till then, till when I exact my revenge
I'll tell them, "you're dead to me"

We're all just trying to hold on to anything
You'd think they'd know that's what we're trying to do
These wounds are invisible
Underneath the dirt I still see the scars
But then when things got bad, we spread our wings and fly away

You'll take all of your riches in the back of a hearse
Your time is going to come

[Chorus]

One day I'll dance on your graves
Even if you're buried at sea
Till then, till when I exact my revenge

[Chorus]

(Mustaine)

This is breaking news
It appears that Air Force One was shot down
Somewhere over the Middle East this morning
By a sleeper cell of rogue terrorists firing a Stinger Missile
The Pilot and all passengers are unaccounted for
The President's whereabouts are presently unknown and he is presumed missing
The Vice President, Secretary of State, and principals of the military are assembling
Our nation stands at DEFCON 3

The greatest crisis, will someone come for me?
I "red, white and blew it"
Unleashed revenge, my body is detained
How could anybody do this?

Betrayal, I peel away the days
Medals are useless, Uncle Sam's forgotten me
I'm not important, no one will ever come
I'll never be found, God get me out of this hell

Nuclear battlefields energized
Cold wars are heating up again
The tensions mounting
People lift up your fists in revenge

The stage is set
Who will be the first to blink?
We can't go to war
Remember that "Vietnam thing"

Peace at any price
With a gun to your head, bang, bang
Weakness runs in your family
What runs in mine is death

This is your 5 minute warning
Burn all of your classified documents
And if cooler heads don't prevail
First strike from a political dead man

Appeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressive
He understands only one language - action
And he respects only one word - force
No sign of them stopping, no time for back channel communiques
We need all the help we can get, air strikes and invasions, retaliate, I say!

The will of good men can not counter the terrible strain of war

Blackmail the universe with the greatest of calamities
Awaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the ground
With their skin destroyed, unjust to innocence
Lawful possessor of the world's last 24 hours

Terror and ugliness reveal what death really means
And in hatred you see men as they really are
If chosen over heaven, Earth will have been for them
All along, only another region of hell

I just want to set the world afire...
Red flash clouds choking out the morning sky
They said it'd never come, we knew it was a lie
All forms of life die now, the humans all succumb
Time to kiss your ass goodbye, the end has just begun
Distorted figures walk the street, it's 1999
Weeds once underneath the feet have grown to vines
Bodies melted like a candle, a land without a face
No time to change your fate, no time left, it's too late
The arsenal of Megadeth can't be rid of they said
And if it comes the living will envy the dead
Racing for power and all come in last
No winning, first stone cast
This falsehood worldly peace
Its treaties soon will cease
No one will be left to prove that humans existed
Maybe soon the children will be born open fisted
We all live on one planet and it will all go up in smoke
Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy
And now the final scene, a global darkening
Dig deep the piles of rubble and ruin
Towering overhead both far and wide
There's unknown tools for World War III
Einstein said, 'We'll use rocks on the other side'
No survivors, set the world afire!

I sneak in my own house,
It's four in the morning,
I had too much to drink,
Said I was out with the boys,
I creep in my bedroom,
I slip into bed,
I know if I wake her,
I'll wake up dead,

I wonder, will she find out,
About the other, other lover,
Diana.

Wake up dead, you die,
Wake up dead, and buried,
Wake up dead, you die,
Wake up dead.

In my hour of need
ha [no] you're not there
and though I reached out for you
wouldn't lend a hand.

Through the darkest hour
grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
no one cares for me.

Did you ever think I get lonely
did you ever think that I needed love
did you ever think to stop thinking
you're the only one that I'm thinking of.

You'll never know how hard I tried
to find my space and satisfy you too.

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong.

But oh how I lived my life for you
still you'd turn away
now as I die for you
my flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
all these years I thought I was wrong
now I know it was you
raise you head, raise your face your eyes
tell me who you think you are, who?

I walk, I walk alone
into the promised land.

There's a better place for me
but it's far, far away
everlasting life for me
in a perfect world
but I gotta die first,
please god send me on my way.

Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you, Alone so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
the pain, the pain, the pain.

Won't you hold me again
you just laughed, ha ha, bitch
my whole life is work built on the past
but the time has come when all things shall pass
this good thing passed away.

In my darkest hour.

Its twilight and I wake up hot
My body's soaked in a cold, cold sweat
I reenact the lurid scenes
And clawed engravings in my head

Oh, I can't punch hard enough and I run
I can't kick high enough and I run
I can't shoot straight enough and I run
I can't hold on enough and I run
Oh, I can't stay down enough and I run
I can't take pain enough and I run
I can't bleed fast enough
I can't die dead enough

The air is thick, but the oxygen's thin
My heart is beating like a drum, boom!
And ice is flowing through my veins
Explosives on my lips and in my lungs

Oh, I can't punch hard enough and I run
I can't kick high enough and I run
I can't shoot straight enough and I run
I can't hold on enough and I run
Oh, I can't stay down enough and I run
I can't take pain enough and I run
I can't bleed fast enough
I can't die dead enough

I don't know what I'm running from
And I don't know where I'm running to
There's something deep and strange inside of me I see

I don't know what I'm running from
And I don't know where I'm running to
Something's compelling me to run into the dark

And now I am more driven than before
And now I live just to settle score
And now I feel the nearness of your breath
Now I introduce you to your death
Solo- Poland
Solo- Mustaine
Solo- Poland

I am more driven than before
I live just to settle score
I feel the nearness of your breath
I introduce you to your death
I can't punch hard enough
I can't kick high enough
I can't shoot straight enough
I can't hold on enough

I can't stay down enough, (die dead enough)
I can't take pain enough, (die dead enough)
I can't bleed fast enough, (die dead enough)
I can't die dead enough, (die dead enough)

The mother of all that is evil
Her lips are poisonous venom
Wicked temptress knows how to please

The priestess roars
Get down on your knees
The rite of the praying mantis
Kiss the bones of the enchantress
Spellbound searching
through the night

A howling man surrenders the fight

One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she wolf
One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she wolf
My desires of flesh obey me
The lioness will enslave me
Another heart beat than my own

The sound of claws on cobblestone
I'm stoned

One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she wolf
One look in her lusting eyes
Savage fear in you will rise
Teeth of terror sinking in
The bite of the she wolf
Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies
Beware what stalks you in the night
Beware the she-wolf and her bite
Her mystic lips tell only lies

I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch
And how I make you wanna scream in pain
And feel your life is just a losing game

I like the way that you let me in
The way you look when the walls cave in
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop

I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there's nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning day

I like the things that you try to fake
And your face when I see you break
And that you say you will pray for me
You realize you are prey for me

I like the way you stay on attack
No matter what, I keep coming back
And how you try to hold me down
But you end up driven to the ground

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all
A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

A tout le monde A tout les amis Je vous aime Je dois partir
These are the last words I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

The more of you that I inspect
the more of me I see reflect
the more I try to read your lips
the more the mask you're wearing rips
But when I seek out your voice
my ears are overcome with noise
you show and tell with greatest ease
raving impossibilities
Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
enraged my mind starts to smoke
enforce a mental overload
angry again, angry again, angry ow
And when the story takes a twist
if folds like a contortionist
slight of hand and quick exchange
the old tricks have been rearranged
Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
enraged my mind starts to smoke
enforce a mental overload
angry again, angry again, angry
The searing of the sinew
my body fights for air
the ripping of the tissue
my lungs begin to tear
gravity's got my bones
it pulls my flesh away
the steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
game I inevitably lose
governed by laws set up by me
fracture it's jaw to let me be
a cut-out cardboard condo maze
filled with an insubordinate race
irrational youths stop to stare
as music rubber hosed the air
Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
enraged my mind starts to smoke
enforce a mental overload
angry again, angry again, angry again
and again and again, again
Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
enraged my mind starts to smoke
enforce a mental overload
angry again, angry again, angry ow

Return To Hangar - Megadeth (Lyrics: Dave Mustaine)

Welcome to an empty fortress
A mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation
Abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed
Computers crashed and they all fall down

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Solo - Pitrelli

All the guilty paid the price
Suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story
When foreign life forms resurrect
And military intelligence is
Still two words that can't make sense

Possibly I've seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much


Solos - Pitrelli, Mustaine
Solos - Pitrelli, Mustaine, Pitrelli, Mustaine

I heard the voice of redemption
For me there is no exemption
I started praying

I heard the voice of satisfaction
Needing me for benefaction
I started pleading

I heard the bells begin to chime
Warning me oh lord
Don't let this be my time
Don't let this be my time

I'll be there for you,
when you walk through the fire
I'll be there for you,
when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life,
I'll be there for you

You saw me slide, you saw me fall
We kept our pride through it all
We started screaming

When skies are dark, no sun shines through
I know I see the light in you
We stopped dreaming and started believing

I'll be there for you,
when you walk through the fire
I'll be there for you,
when the flames get higher
When nothing fits and nothing seems right
Till the very last breath of my life,
I'll be there for you
I'll be there

In my hour of need
You were there always
Now it's time for me to be there for you too
Always

I'll be there for you

This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up I wanted to cry
But dammit this well's gone dry
Not for the money not for the fame
Not for the power just no more games
But now I'm safe in the eye of
the tornado I can't replace the
lies that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado
blow me away
You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death
Not from the years not from the use
Not from the tears just self abuse
But now I'm safe in the eye
of the tornado I can't replace
the lies that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado blow me
away Who's to say
what's for me to say
Who's to say
what's for me got free
Who's to say
what's for me to do
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me

The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light

Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep I really feel

I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death

Lost in a dream
nothing
Is what it seems
searching my head
For the words
that you said
Tears filled my eyes
as we said
Our last goodbyes
this sad scene
Replays
of you walking away
My body aches
from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
we lied to each other
So much that
in nothing we trust
Time and again
she repeats
Let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another trust bends
I must confess
I try to let go
but I know
We'll never end
'til we're dust
We lied to each
other again
But I wish
I could trust
My body aches
from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
we lied to each other
So much
that in
Nothing we trust
God help me please
On my knees
betrayed by lust
We lied to each other
so much
Now there's
nothing we trust~

My body aches
from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
we lied to each other
So much
now there's nothing
We trust
God help me please
On my knees
betrayed by lust
We lied to each other
so much
Now there's nothing
we trust
My body aches
from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
we lied to each other
So much
nothing we trust oh~
Absolutely
nothing we trust~

Your mind tells you that you've lost your confidence
You're drifting and ya don't believe in anyone
To lose what little you have left to be proud of
Afraid you can't do this again, ah!

You said that nothing come in-between us
The way of getting things we wanted done
Then enissophobia held you under its influence
Until you compromised your style

Everything about you has been one big charade
What will you do now that the well's run dry? Cry?
To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back
It's something that you are; it's something that I'm not

When you forced me into doing what you love
Mark my words no one loves you very much, yeah mark em'
And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me
I couldn't help but end just hating you, hmm!

Being a fraud can only last so long, you should know
Till what ya sensed as a child returns, you little baby
To choke out the voice that told ya "money and the fame"
Would fill the crater that you dug for yourself

Unlike you I'm no vision to myself, lest you forget
You didn't ever make metal, buddy; metal made you
To crush and run over everyone along the way
It's something that you are; it's something that I'm not

A stranger to yourself, ha! ya pissed me off again
I won't be driven by your needs anymore
What you'd become to do or be is clear to see for me
It's something that you are; something that I'm not

It makes me sick to hear you say you "love me"
I know you only love what I can do for you
If you were the one that was leading the charge
Would you notice if I missed a day or two? But that's impossible!

We all laughed at the parodies that you'd become
Now your pain slowly paid back has begun
So, accept my resignation, or in your words "betrayal"
Before it gets much worse, end this self-sabotage

Something that I'm not, something that you are, something I'm not

Something that I'm not, something that you are, something I'm not
Something that you are, something I'm not, yet

Dawn breaks evenly today
On the truth and the lie
All rise, court's in session
We'll hang someone high

Justice means nothing today
Now that the courts are for sale
Pick a crime from the menu; pick a sentence and defend you
And pay the down payment called bail
The system's for sale

Kick the chair, the ropes tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, i gotta hang 'em dead
Or they'll come back around
Kick it!

The court's wrong when it keeps track
Of victories and defeats
The press that never rest just waits
For someone's soul they can eat

Justice means nothing today
Now that the jury's for sale
Guilty or not, the verdict's a lie
You're going to jail
The system has failed

Kick the chair, the ropes tight
Just like one quick wrench, the tooth is out
Friend or foe, ya gotta hang 'em dead
Or they'll come back

*guitar solos til end*

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

What do you mean
I don't believe in God
I talk to him every day
What do you mean
I don't support your system
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean,
I can't get to work on time
I got nothing better to do
And, what do you mean
I don't pay my bills
Why do you think I'm broke Huh
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But, it better work this time

What do you mean
I hurt your feelings
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean
I ain't kind
I'm just not your kind
What do you mean
I couldn't be president
of the United States of America
Tell me something,
it's still
We the people right
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line,
But, it better work this time

Oh

Can you put a price on peace

Peace
Peace sells
Peace
Peace sells
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying

Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
Peace sells but who's buying
No, no no no no
Peace sells

Sleepwalker

[Music & Lyric Dave Mustaine]

I should be calling collect from jail
For the things I commit each night in my head
Like last night in my sleep I got to snuff you
But then I woke up again, safe in my little bed

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

I get to force your untimely disappearance
Each night in my dreams, when I'm fast asleep
I close my eyes and you just vanish soon as I
Lay down my head when I'm dead to the whole wide world

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is the same

Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw you off of a bridge
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul's mine to keep, I feel you near me
Go to sleep, Sleepwalker

Just taking a stroll; don't go to sleep! Here's some toothpicks for your eyes!

You always make an excellent cadaver
I roll your body up in a carpet to make music in the
Trunk of my limousine, wrapped up in a rug
A fitting end, is that I send you up the river like a punk

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life

The angel of death is pissed off at me again
Just because I got to put you out of my misery
It doesn't matter, I am without fear
Now you're dead, I won't shed another bloody tear for you

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
I'm calling down the thunder, then you'll sleep with the fishes
The answer to all of my wishes

Sleepwalker - Did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

[Solo - Mustaine]
[Solo - Drover]

I think you'd look nice in a Colombian necktie
Should stop your tongue from wagging the dog
No more stupidity from you, as I pull your tongue through
For a smile from ear to ear, now there's nothing to hear

No one is safe when I close my eyes; I come to take your life
And then I wake up and it was all just a dream
And everything is still the same

Sleepwalker - Did I give you concrete shoes?
And throw your body off of a bridge
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker - Or did I tell you I was in movies?
Then dump you garroted, lying naked in a ditch
Sleepwalker - Everyday, another way, I know you can hear me

Sleepwalker - Did I buy you the farm?
Put a horse head in your bed
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I feel you near me

Sleepwalker - Everyday
Everyday another way
Sleepwalker - When I lay down to sleep
Pray your soul is mine to keep, I know you can hear me

[Repeat Choruses]

Washington Is Next

The quiet war has begun with silent weapons
And the new slavery is to keep the people
Poor and stupid, "Novus Ordo Seclorus"

How can there be any logic in biological war?
We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order's
Beating down the door, oh something needs to be done

There was a King who had a dream with no idea
What it could mean and nobody could interpret
Of seven empires falling, the wolf is at the door
As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past
Of how the world leaders are waiting to usher in the
Eighth False King to the throne, Washington is Next!

Disengage their minds, sabotage their health
Promote sex, and war, and violence in the kindergartens
Blame the parents and teachers; it's their fault, "Annuit Coeptis"
Attack the church dynamic, attack the family
Keep the public undisciplined till nothing left is sacred and
The "have-nots" get hooked and have to go to the "haves" just to cop a fix

I am a King who had a dream with no idea
What it could mean and nobody could interpret
Of seven empires falling, the wolf is at my door
As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the past
Of how the world leaders are waiting to see me
I'm the Eighth False King to the throne, Washington is Next!

There was a King who had a dream with no idea
What it could mean and nobody could interpret
Of seven empires fallen, the wolf is at the door
As predicted years ago, that that was, that is, that is no more

I am a King and I had dream, and nobody could interpret
Seven empires fallen, the wolf is at my door
Oh, that that was, that is, that is no more
The wolf is at my door

The future tells the truth about the past
I'm the Eighth False King to the throne, the temple of Zeus
I've got you in my crosshairs, now, ain't that a bitch?

Washington, you're next!

Never Walk Alone

Hiding in then the door way
and then the shadow
any place where danger
waits to kill my time
there is one who loves and waits
to seal your fate
I'm sure as you live and die
Live and die
Live and die

When you feel that something wrong
Ill shelter you and keep you warm
Ill never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

Let me wrap my arms all around you
suffer the trespasses that you made
I will drink your pain away
forever and a day
if you just call out my name
If you just call
call my name
if you just call
felling desperate

When you feel that something wrong
Ill shelter you and keep you warm
Ill never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

SOLO!!!!!!!

When you feel that something wrong
Ill shelter you and keep you warm
Ill never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

When you feel that something wrong
Ill shelter you and keep you warm
Ill never let you walk alone
I loved you when you still hated me
I'm coming and it wont be long
Time to reap what I have sewn
Never ever let you walk alone
I know your enemy it once was me

United Abominations

[Music and Lyrics Dave Mustaine]

Less than five miles from Ground Zero sits an international hotbed,

the United "Abominations" as it were.

Created to prevent wars and promote peace,
it failed to address the most dangerous threats facing the world.

In a mire of hypocrisy, bribes, kickbacks, and corruption, the U.N.

enables terrorism, and ignores sex crimes by its peacekeepers.

The U.N. is where our so-called allies undermine us,

and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home.

Ambassadors from dirt-poor countries enjoy luxurious,

tax-free Manhattan lifestyles, turning children into sex-slaves

and enjoy Diplomatic immunity.
It's a complete and utter disgrace, a blot on the face of humanity,

and they get away with it.

Poverty in their kitchens
Held hostage by oil-for-food
Yet their own plates are full off the fat of their lands
There's no blood on their hands, right Kojo?
They promised to tell the truth
Without leaving a fingerprint, but
They will lose the U.N. one way or another
The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers

The U.N. is right; you can't be any more "un"
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
Just give me ammo for the United Abominations

A grave and gathering danger
The decision to attack
Based on secret intelligence it'll take years
I fear to undo the failings in Iraq
You may bury the bodies

But you can't bury the crimes only
Fools stand up and really lay down their arms
No, not me, not when Death lasts forever

The U.N. is right; you can't be any more "un"
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
Just give me ammo for the United Abominations

"The U.N. writes resolution after resolution

and has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis,"
"Order, Order!!!"
"Ha! There is no such thing as order"
"Larry, it's true, reports confirm today that

the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever,"
"Well, I just don't see what all the fuss is,

because they don't do anything anyway, do they?"

The U.N. is right; you can't be any more "un"
Than you are right now, the U.N. is undone
Another mushroom cloud, another smoking gun
The threat is real, the Locust King has come
Don't tell me the truth; I don't like what they've done
Just give me ammo for the United Abominations

NATO invaded Yugoslavia to end ethnic cleansing, there was no U.N.
The U.S. invaded Afghanistan after 9/11, there was no U.N.
Saddam Hussein violated 17 U.N. resolutions; The U.N.

was asked to join the war in Iraq. The U.S. invaded, Ha! there was no U.N.
Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans, there was no U.N.
Iran funds any terrorist organization it can, and attacked the U.S.

in the seventies, there was no stinking U.N.
Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more U.N.

(Gears of war, gears of war, gears of war, gears of war)
(Gears of war, gears of war, gears of war, gears of war)

Ethnic cleansing with no defending
These acts of genocide
A fatal ending with no surrendering
To cover up the crimes and lies

Smart bombs, precision guided armament
A more sophisticated way to end up dead
Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
That kill each other like the gears of war
(Gears of war, gears of war)
Ho-rah!
(Gears of war, gears of war)

When you ride with thieves, then you die with thieves
Cross my heart and hope that you die (that you die)
When the smoke has cleared, the devil's in the mirror
And you see his warheads paint the sky, now you die!

Smart bombs, precision guided armament
A more sophisticated way to end up dead
Still we search and invent such intelligent weapons
That kill each other like the gears of war

Anybody searching for action
Anything to feel the emptiness inside
Any place that the streets are empty
Any takers wanna pour out their lives
With fire and lighting shooting from my hand
And desolation written across my eyes
My itchy finger on hairpin trigger
My tempers hot and my patience's taken flight

Inside the abattoir
The cover charge is somebody's gotta die
Now, I hear you screaming out for mercy
Last man that's standing wins the fight
Too late, I see your end zero in on you
Even mortal enemies they can't deny
Let me help you up again
The wings of God surround me
I live to play because I know I'll never die

If I win again, I'm still the champion
And if you win, ha, that's just impossible!
I don't play for keeps; I don't play for your soul
I don't play to win, I don't play for it all
I play for blood

I don't play for keeps, I play for blood
I don't play for your soul, I play for blood
I don't play for to win, I play for blood
I don't play for it all, I play for blood
Play for blood

Recruiting the ill-fated for "The War"
A legion of uneducated, bankrupt souls
With a lust for revenge, answering the call
From New Yorqatar to Califarabia

Desperation provides fertile ground for religious extremism
This glorious brainwashing where prejudice lies
Like a crouching tiger
Tormenting peasants till they erect an army
Under everyone's nose
In the end propaganda destroys their DNA
God help them

All that they envisioned of what things would come to be
Turned into a pink mist when they blew to smithereens
We are just a war away from Amerikhastan
When God versus God; the undoing of man

Promising a vapor,in the end they become one

No rules of engagement,this enemy hides
Amongst women and children

And to beat violence,you must ignore the focus groups
You must send in the Mossad, turn of the BBC, CNN
And don't look back
Rest assured there'll be no more Middle Eastern crisis, hell!
There'll be no more Middle East!
These are your people Lady Liberty
Pull up your dress today
And tattooed is "Property of the USA
A subsidiary of Halliburton"
Surprise?
But a roaring lion is about to be unleashed on earth
Hey, Jihad Joe?
Guess what?
We're coming to get you!

All that you envisioned of what things will come to be
Turns into a death knell when you look behind the scenes
We are just a war away from Amerikhastan
When God versus God; the undoing of man

When someone becomes nothing to anyone
Whilst feelings have died
Anyone would know it
They set out stick and stones
They say they'd crush my bones
I say, I don't get mad, I get even
Before they do

Spoils go to the victor
I'm dead on time
Your time is going to come

[Chorus]
One day I'll dance on your graves
Even if you're buried at sea
Till then, till when I exact my revenge
I'll tell them, "you're dead to me"

We're all just trying to hold on to anything
You'd think they'd know that's what we're trying to do
These wounds are invisible
Underneath the dirt I still see the scars
But then when things got bad, we spread our wings and fly away

You'll take all of your riches in the back of a hearse
Your time is going to come

[Chorus]

One day I'll dance on your graves
Even if you're buried at sea
Till then, till when I exact my revenge

[Chorus]

He said he'd try just a little bit
He didn't want to end up like them
And now he blames the voices of a toothless wonder
Pounding on the door to make the next score

Anything for a hit, any sin to pay for it
For that next bowl, he'd sell his soul

Spiral to destruction, it's too late to break the spell
He wants the ride to stop on the freight train straight to hell
Without the truth he'll never find in a dungeon of his lies
His cause of death, high speed on burnt ice

Always looking at the ground, a broken, beaten man
Memories of his family are calling after him
He can hardly thing, hardly walk
Phone keeps ringing, he can't talk
With just one hit the pain would go away
But he's dead if he does

Shadow people follow him everywhere he goes
Looking over his shoulder, the paranoia grows

Grinding my teeth, with knuckles grasp at the wheel
I rush from an avalanche of adrenaline, it's all that I feel
As quick as a bolt of lightning, a rocket ride in a bucket seat
It doesn't get any better than this, it just feeds my need for speed

[Chorus:]
Supercharged, strapped in and screaming
Fire spiting from the pipes
A burnout by the flame throwing fury
8,000 horses ignite
Full throttle, hit the ground running
With a tank full of nitro
And its 1,320' to go to the finish line

[Solo - Chris]

My hands hold tight, a fire breathing stampede
I fall into a trance, hold my breath till the light turns green
In a cloud of nitro methane, melting rubber, I say my prayers
Man and machine accelerate and I vanish in thin air

[Chorus]

[Solo - Dave, Chris, Dave, Chris, Dave, Chris]

Public enemy number one
Jailbreak and a smoking gun
You wont believe the things I've done
And the killing is just for fun

Public enemy number one
A stolen car and I'm on the run
Through the night to the rising sun
And the trouble has just begun

Roses on your grave
I'll be on my way
There's no time to stay
With the enemies I've made

I'm invincible
You might say despicable
Punishments reciprocal
Public enemy number one

I'm unbeatable
My mind is untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one

Public enemy number one
Watch the authorities come undone
With every stand-off that I've won
Flirting death is just for fun

Public enemy number one
Born a fugitive a father's-son
Another heist of a bank is done
And the trouble has just begun

Roses on your grave
I'll be on my way
There's no time to stay
With the enemies I've made

I'm invincible
You might say despicable
Punishments reciprocal
Public enemy number one

I'm unbeatable
My minds untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one

[Solo]

The posters say I'm wanted
Dead or dead
Anyone who's tried
Got a bullet to the head

I'm invincible
You might say despicable
Punishments reciprocal
Public enemy number one

I'm unbeatable
My minds untreatable
Crimes unrepeatable
Public enemy number one

Public enemy [x4]

Oooh, you're just in time
To get inside my head
Oooh, the war of words
You're underneath my skin

You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the shadows...
You think you know what's best for me
You hate everything you've seen in me
Have you looked in a mirror?

HEY! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?

HEY! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?
Costs so much more than the price
I ain't gonna pay!

Yoooou only point out faults
Anxiety attack!

Yooou running your mouth
You stab me in the back!

You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the shadows...
You think you know what's best for me
You hated everything you've seen in me
Have you looked in a mirror?

Hey! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?

Hey! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?

Hey! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?
Costs so much more than the price
I ain't gonna pay!

Running your mouth...
Running your mouth...

Stab me in the back...
Anxiety attack...

HEY! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?
You tell me how to live but who asked you anyway?

HEY! Just Whose Life is This Anyway?

Just Whose Life is This Anyway?
Just Whose Life is This Anyway?

Secret bureaucracy, it’s just a lie
The devil’s henchmen, in suit and tie
A sacred brotherhood; an ancient rite
Politicians and the double lives they hide

Violate your rights, no more equality
Surrender freedom, your Social Security
We, the people face unconstitutional lies
In greed we trust, in revolution we die

Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves
The land of liberty needs a regime change
Until you no longer know right from wrong
The constitution isn’t worth the paper it’s written on

Screams from the future, warn of calamity
The coming plagues of the new disease
The illuminati, one world currency
One world religion, one World everything
