Blackmail The Universe Lyrics - The System Has Failed - Megadeth

(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 

Photos 

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
