Megadeth megadeth-United Abominations Lyrics

WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE from Ground Zero sits a SMOLDERING INTERNATIONAL CAULDRON, the United "Abominations" as it were. Forged to prevent wars and thow us in the face of disaster, and stood silent while terrorization took hostage the world.

In a mire of hypocrisy the UN ignores s__ crimes by its "blue helmets". And enables terrorism, so in the end its failed And the U.N., is where our so-called friends get to stab us in the back, and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home.

Ambassadors from countries otherwise known as a catastrophe enjoy diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan, while their children are turning into prostitutes. 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
It's payback time with 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
(remember Korea?)
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

(Conversation in French between a man and a woman)

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, there was no U.N.
Libya bombed a discotheque in Berlin killing Americans, there was no U.N.
Iran funds Hamas, and attacked the U.S. in the seventies, there was no U.N.
Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more U.N.
