Songtext zu 'United Abominations' von Megadeth

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, but
They will lose the UN one way or another
The victim, I fear will be us, sisters and brothers

The UN is right; you can't be any more un
Than you are right now, the UN 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
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 UN is right; you can't be any more un
Than you are right now, the UN 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 UN 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 UN is right; you can't be any more un
Than you are right now, the UN 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 UN 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
