MEGADETH - Lying In State lyrics
rate meWhat we are witnessin' is the decline of western civilization
Crushin' our potential and pilin' it on, how will history portray us?
Attack the family, attack their faith and dreams
Attack the body and the head will fall
A lastin' legacy or ruin brought in haste?
The enemy of truth is lyin' there in state
Anotha day, anotha manufactured crisis keepin' the people distracted
There's no one playin' by the rules anymore, how will history portray us?
A broken backbone with nothin' left to lose?
That hate the sight of all the ones that do?
A lastin' legacy or ruin brought in haste?
The enemy of truth is lyin' there in state
A shiny new agenda, birthed from a depraved mind
Of failin' us on purpose, to culturally sanitize
Its opiates for the masses under cloak as hope and change
The 'new normal' or just more of the same?
The perfect plan
Must have an alibi
And the perfect pawn
To spew the party line
Of the perfect falsehood
Spoke a thousand times
The perfect words
Cover the greatest crime
Hell is turnin' itself inside out
To lead its path up to meet us
And we deliberately take
A step, one foot closer to the grave
