Theme
A highly critical track that satirically renames the USA **'Amerikhastan'** (combining 'America' with the '-stan' suffix common in Middle Eastern countries) to criticize US foreign policy, particularly its involvement in the Middle East, its sacrifice of liberty for security, and the perceived corruption that led to a loss of the 'land of opportunity'.
Lyrics
Recruiting the **ill-fated** for "**The War**"
A legion of uneducated, **bankrupt souls**
With a lust for **revenge**, answering the call
From **New Yorqatar to Califarabia**
**Desperation provides fertile ground for religious extremism**
This glorious **brainwashing** where **prejudice** lies
Like a crouching tiger
Tormenting peasants till they erect an army
Under everyone's nose
In the end **propaganda destroys their DNA**, God help them
Solo- Mustaine
All that they envisioned of what things would come to be
Turned into a **pink mist** when they blew to **smithereens**
We are just a war army for **Amerikhastan**
When **God versus god**; the **undoing of man**
Solo-Drover
**No rules of engagement**, this enemy hides
Amongst women and children
And to beat violence, you must ignore the focus groups
You must send in the **Mossad**, turn off the **BBC, CNN**
And don't look back
Rest assured there'll be no more Middle Eastern crisis, hell!
There'll be **no more Middle East!**
These are your people **Lady LIberty**
Pull up your dress today
And tattooed is "**property of The USA**
A subsidiary of **Halliburton**"
**Suprise!?**
But a roaring lion is about to be unleashed on earth
Hey, **Jihad Joe**? Guess what? We're coming to get you!
SOlo-Drover
Solo-Mustaine
All that you envision of what thigns will come to be
Turns into a **death knell** when you look behind the scenes
We are just a war away from **Amerikhastan**
When **God versus god**; the **undoing of man**
Solo-Drover
