Megadeth - Post-American World Lyrics






We see each other through different eyes
Segregating ourselves by class and size
It's me against you in everything that they do
This planet's become one big spinning disaster

If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's coming next

What will we look like?
In a post American world
Why cower to all those
Who oppose the American world?

When you walk away from that which makes you strong
You only fool yourself; you only weaken your cause
There's creeping hate if you resist the false narrative
Crushing all the dissenters who still think for them selves

If you don't like where we're going
Then you won't like what's coming next

What will we look like?
In a post American world
Why cower to all those
Who oppose the American world?

  14. A.... B....

    Last 30+ years reveals that the day Metallica left Dave alone is the best decision they've ever had.
    Megadeth's discography, especially recording with virtuoso Marty F., rocking awesome, thus spreading still today.

    Dave kept the band alive despite many things lurched him. Today, he is fighting against cancer & this is his character that he picks his Flying V guitar up and keeps on rocking (!)

    We are with you Dave, we waiting for your new songs loves & cheers ❤😍🤘❤😍🤘

  15. f.... ....

    Cool song, but these Alex Jones' inspired lyrics suck.

  16. M.... T....

    AMAZING!!!

  17. R.... ....

    Dave is a Prophetic wizard of metal

  18. T.... o....

    Dave's lyrics are more relevant now than ever before. That is one thing I always appreciated about Megadeth is the lyrics and song subject matter.

  19. M.... o....

    Dave mustaine's vocals are brutal!!!!

  20. M.... ....

    One of the bands from my youth who never sold out. This is like the cliff notes version of SoD. Glad they didn't go the antifa route like Ministry. Crush em.

  21. g.... ....

    Maravilha de álbum.

  24. j.... t....

    very true great song

  25. L.... M....

    Kiko is a bad-ass fretboard artist. Actually, he is the sickest in metal now. And Davids' bass work is tight! supersick! he is on a par with Billy Sheehan and Les Claypool now.

    L.... M....

    He's actually left handed...it explains why he's so good on the fretboard

  26. K.... ....

    Ready for ww3?

  27. �.... �....

  35. s.... ....

    God bless Dave! From Belém do Pará, BRAZIL!!

  36. R.... C....

    This is better than super colider

  37. A.... L....

    Hey Dave, the songs are boring now. Stop farting out some boring composition to go with the goofy political statement you want to make. When songwriters start writing lyrics first.... The song always ends up SHIT. It's about the music Dave, fuck your big negative political statement... With a cliche chord sequence you spent upwards of 15 minutes writing AND recording.

  38. A.... L....

    This main riff is too close to SOD. Dave's songs aren't brilliant anymore. He is more concerned with lyrics and making a statement, whereas the music used to come first. Guaranteed he now has the lyrics first and THEN writes the music to fit the lyrics. THIS IS NOT HOW TO WRITE GREAT SONGS AND HE DIDN'T USE TO DO THAT. also, the solos get SHITTIER AND SHITTIER without Marty.
    These other guitarists are all technique and no content

  39. j.... k....

    Kiko está representando o Brasil com maestria mais uma vez

  40. P.... H....

    This song is about American exceptionalism. Mr. Mustaine is for it.

  41. L.... H....

    Megadeth is my favorite band 🙂

  42. G.... R....

    What a stupid ass Americanist song lmao

    G.... R....

    Which just goes to show you don't understand proper context!


    Try again .................... stupid .. (listen to ALL the words. not just the ones YOU select to hear.)


    Understand what this fellow meant to do about POTUS 43 ..


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Eldridge_Odom


    If there was ever a president guilty of impeachable offenses .. (and the one before him, just as well > NOT about Lewinsky)


    FYI, this song is actually about the US (Corporation) "petro-dollar" ..


    Best explained by this guy .. (being that derivatives were created specifically for him re: purchase "prime bank guarantees.")


    https://eagleonetowanta.com/


    Being that the FED just announced its intention to deploy QE4 ..


    All kinds of insanity(s) is about to break loose ..


    And, there is actually a "sliver bullet" ready to cure it all ..


    https://youtu.be/Am1uZ3lpQdw (with the actual cooperation of some from the City of London)

  43. B.... ....

    it is wierd t me when i see mustaine without guitar

  44. M.... P....

    Excellent

  45. R.... F....

    Dammn I was a Metallica far for so long, but at this moment I believe that the THRASH METAL essence lies in Megadeth hands!! Great album, Great BAND, and please Dave get back into action with the best health possible!!!

  46. W.... B....

    Dave Musteine president of the world

  47. K.... H....

    This song should be Trump campaign 2020 song. Awesome.

  48. J.... ....

    2:05 tell hello for Metallica

  49. E.... s....

    ALL THESE IDIOTS ARE STARTING TO SEE IT ;)

  50. L.... M....

    Marty and Dave met their match with Kiko....bad-ass! his fretwork is sick.

  51. j.... s....

    Megadeth King !!!!!

  52. �.... �....

    0:52 Lady Justice?

  53. A.... D....

    My thoughts, Dave got handed the book in life for how he was and he lost his band, nearly his life but overcame it and kept himself humble , sobered up, reasigned his faith in God and he is reaping the positive benefits of getting it right and as a thrash metal fan and Megadeth fan...I can't think of a better story and band to lead my own story and walk.

    A.... D....

    lol religious loons

  54. s.... g....

    why dislike?keep on with the Kardashians,you press the wrong buton.

  55. C.... B....

    wtf how is it possible I haven't listened to that since the release.. brilliance!

  56. N.... Z....

    кто не любит мегадед дураки

  57. A.... ....

    The people who disliked must have thougth that button is for dis i like.

  58. P.... B....

    0:52 Is that the justice from Metallica's'...and justice for all' album ?

    P.... B....

    Pierre Bousquet lady justice has been round long before Metallica stuck it on and justice for all

  59. B.... S....

  60. t.... ....

    Trump/Mustaine 2020

  61. r.... s....

    3:00 - 3:20 why the instruments sounds like avenged sevenfold?

  62. L.... b....

    that's not a drum, its a machine gun!


    the drumming is fuckin awesome!!!

  63. N.... D....

    Listen!!!

  64. g.... ....

    Love the drum change on snare. I think that’s what it is.

  65. H.... A....

    Vic Rattlehead Rules!!!

  66. G.... M....

    more relevant than ever!!

  67. f.... ....

    Dave probably hasn't read this, but much of what he says in his lyrics to this song are quite derived from this paper ..


    http://www.middlebury.edu/media/view/214721/original/OdomPaper.pdf



    Right or wrong, the USA found itself at the top of world at the end of WW2 ..


    At that point we could "use it or abuse it" ..


    It appears we did the latter ..


    But any empire previous did the same as well .. (with possibly the exception of the Russian Empire under Nicholas II )


    So goes the fallen nature of humanity when it chooses (collectively) to ignore natural law > God's Will ..


    https://youtu.be/29bkCJ81TOU

  68. E.... G....

    One thing Metallica doesnt have is good lyrics like this, Dave Mustaine always sings about the future and what's happening now.

  69. R.... K....

    So what is coming next???

  70. E.... M....

    Ladies and gentlemen, Dave Mustaine is officially smarter than every single person in the government combined

    E.... M....

    Na,there's people like Trump that Mustaine Agrees with. But he's smarter than most of Congress. DRAIN THE SWAMP Dave Mustaine 2024 Not sure the slogan yet. Maybe Make America Metal Again or maybe It's Still we the People right ?

  71. T.... H....

    I have been a die hard megadeth fan since their 2nd album. Saw them many times in concert even bought mustains autobiography. But in 2016 when he said he was voting for Hillary. That day he lost a true fan.

    T.... H....

    He never said that!


    https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/dave-mustaine-is-not-a-fan-of-hillary-clinton-but-wont-say-if-he-will-vote-for-donald-trump/


    ""Am I a Donald Trump fan? Well, he's a very successful businessman. Am I gonna vote for him? That's none of your business. And if I did, I wouldn't tell you. If I didn't, I wouldn't tell you. I can tell you one thing: I am not voting for [presumptive Democratic presidential nominee] Hillary [Clinton]. "


    But if Trump should be impeached, it should be for the right reasons ..


    https://youtu.be/8tYTSR9gheQ


    Imagine the "discovery" that would ensue from a proper House investigation re: the stated facts in the above video ..


    It will never happen because the majority of the House (and some in the Senate) would be implicated and later indicted based on the discovery ..

  72. K.... D....

    slayer vibes

  73. A.... ....

    whoah, this is a fucking cool music video. dave's still got it.
