Megadeth - Blackmail the Universe lyrics

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
What runs in mine is death

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"

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 worlds 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
