MEGADETH LYRICS
"Blackmail the Universe/Kick the Chair" (2004 Single)
1. Blackmail the Universe
2. Kick the Chair
1. Blackmail the Universe
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 principles 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
Well, what runs in mine is death
Solo- Poland
This is your 5 minute warning
Burn all 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 communiqués
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
Solo- Poland
Solo- Mustaine
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
Solo- Mustaine
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
2. Kick the Chair
Dawn breaks evenly today
on the truth and the lie.
All rise. Court's in session.
We're hangin' someone high.
Justice means nothing today.
Now that the courts are for sale.
Pick a crime from the menu.
Pick a sentance and a venue.
And pick the downpayment called "bail."
The system's for sale.
Kick the chair.
The rope's tied 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 never rests.
Just waits for somebody'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 rope's tied just like
One quick wrench, the tooth is out.
Friend or foe?
Ya gotta hang 'em dead.
Or they'll come back.
Solo Mustaine
Solo Poland
