Metal Allegiance - Power Drunk Majesty

Part I:
The American dream is dead

Twisting
Nothing is true
Mockery
Bowing to you
Dominance
Suffer your rule
Arrogance
We the people you fool

Abuse of power's all you do
Puppets playing just for you
Tyrants come to take your hand
Flaunting wealth and stealing land

One nation under god
Blinded by travesty
One nation under doubt
Power Drunk Majesty

Exposing
You lost control
Constructing
Empty soul
Misery
Turning the screw
Liberty
Freedom not true

Raping justice like a whore
Pandering your flocks adore
Nepotism like a king
As they come and kiss your ring

One nation under god
Blinded by travesty
One nation under doubt
Power Drunk Majesty

"...But in all of my years of public life
I have never profited
Never profited from public service.
I've earned every cent.
And in all of my years of public life
I have never obstructed justice"

Adams, Franklin, Hamilton, Jay
Jefferson, Madison roll in decay

Washington could never foresee
Power Drunk Majesty


Part II:
Drunk fools can't rule as the past dictates
Drunk fools can't lead
So self-absorbed as the world cries out
Deaf ears can't hear

No!
Power Drunk Majesties aren't of this time
No more

Drunk fools tell lies and the truth gets lost
Drunk fools can't tweet

How?
How can one man still rule the world full of lies?
How?
How can one man still get so far?

Drunk fools ruin worlds as the past will show
Drunk fools will kill
So vain, the narcissism's blinding you
Blind eyes can't see

How?
How can one man still rule the world full of lies?
How?
How can one man still get so far?

How?
How can one man still rule the world full of lies?
How?
How can one man still get so far?

(Solos: Joe Satriani & Alex Skolnick]

No!
Power drunk majesties aren't of this time
No more
No!
Power drunk majesties can't rule my world
No more
No more
No

How?
How can one man still rule the world full of lies?
How?
How can one man still get so far?

How?
How can one man still rule the world full of lies?
How?
How can one man still get so far?
How?

"...Governments are instituted among men
Deriving their just powers
From the consent of the governed
That whenever any form of government
Becomes destructive of these ends
It is the right of the people
To alter or to abolish it
And to institute new government..."
