Theme
A quintessential Megadeth political anthem focused on themes of conspiracy, government control, and the fight for freedom. The lyrics warn of a creeping **'New World Order'** that will deny rights and introduce a 'mark' (a reference to the Mark of the Beast) for control. The chorus is a rallying cry where **'We the people'** take back sovereignty and fight for liberty.
Lyrics
**Secret bureaucracy**, it's just a **lie**
The **devil's henchmen**, in suit and tie
A **sacred brotherhood**; an **ancient rite**
**Politicians** and the **double lives they hide**
**Violate your rights**, no more **equality**
Surrender **freedom**, your **social security**
**We, the people face unconstitutional lies**
In **greed we trust**, in **revolution we die**
Our **founding fathers are rolling in their graves**
The **land of liberty** needs a **regime change**
Until you no longer know **right from wrong**
The **constitution isn't worth the paper it's written on**
**Screams from the future**, warn of **calamity**
The coming **plagues of the new disease**
The **illuminati**, **one world currency**
**One world religion**, **one world everything**
