Megadeth - Blackmail The Universe Lyrics

Complimentary "Blackmail The Universe" Ringtone

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
