MEGADETH - United Abominations lyrics

rate me

Within striking distance from Ground Zero sits a smoldering international cauldron, the United "Abominations" as it were. Born to prevent wars, it froze in the face of disaster and stood silent while terrorization to hostage of the world

In a mire of hypocrisy, the U.N. ignores sex crimes by its "blue helmets", and enables terrorism; so in the end it's 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 enjoy otherwise known as a catastrophe, enjoy Diplomatic immunity living in Manhattan, while their children are turned 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,

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 at 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, Iran, and 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

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 at the United Abominations

"The U.N. writes resolution after resolution and has become irrelevant through inaction and totalitarian paralysis,"

"Order, Order!!!"

"Ha! There is no such thing as order"

"Larry, it's true, reports confirm today that the United Nations has officially closed its doors forever,"

"Well, I just don't see what all the fuss is, because they don't do anything anyway, do they?"

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 at the United Abominations

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, Ha! 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 stinking U.N.

Facing War without end, looking into the future, there was no more U.N.
