United Abominations - Megadeth

Less than five miles from Ground Zero sits an International hotbed,

the United «Abominations"as it were. Created to prevent wars and promote peace,

it failed to address the most dangerous threats facing the world.

In a mire of hypocrisy, bribes, kickbacks, and corruption,

the UN enables terrorism, and ignores sex crimes by its peacekeepers.

The UN is where our so-called allies undermine us,

and we pay 22% of their tab to host our enemies here at home.

Ambassadors from dirt-poor countries enjoy luxurious,

tax-free Manhattan lifestyles, turning children

into sex-slaves and enjoy Diplomatic immunity.

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

Just give me ammo for 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

Just give me ammo for 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

Just give me ammo for the United Abominations
