Megadeth - Blackmail The Universe Lyrics
This is breaking newsIt appears that Air Force One was shot downSomewhere over the Middle East this morningBy a sleeper cell of rogue terrorists firing a Stinger MissileThe Pilot and all passengers are unaccounted forThe President's whereabouts are presently unknown and he is presumed missingassemblingOur nation stands at DEFCON 3The greatest crisis, will someone come for me?I "red, white and blew it"Unleashed revenge, my body is detainedHow could anybody do this?Betrayal, I peel away the daysMedals are useless, Uncle Sam's forgotten meI'm not important, no one will ever comeI'll never be found, God get me out of this hellNuclear battlefields energizedCold wars are heating up againThe tensions mountingPeople lift up your fists in revengeThe stage is setWho will be the first to blink?We can't go to warRemember that "Vietnam thing"Peace at any priceWith a gun to your head, bang, bangWeakness runs in your familyWhat runs in mine is deathThis is your 5 minute warningBurn all of your classified documentsAnd if cooler heads don't prevailFirst strike from a political dead manAppeasement only makes the aggressor more aggressiveHe understands only one language - actionAnd he respects only one word - forceNo sign of them stopping, no time for back channel communiquesWe 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 warBlackmail the universe with the greatest of calamitiesAwaken those sleeping giants in the dust of the groundWith their skin destroyed, unjust to innocenceLawful possessor of the world's last 24 hoursTerror and ugliness reveal what death really meansAnd in hatred you see men as they really areIf chosen over heaven, Earth will have been for themAll along, only another region of hell
