Megadeth - Washington Is Next! Lyrics

[Verse 1]The quiet war has begun with silent weaponsAnd the new slavery is to keep the peoplePoor and stupid, "Novus Ordo Seclorum"How can there be any logic in biological war?We all know this is wrong, but the New World Order's beating down the doorOh, something needs to be done[Chorus]There was a king (An evil king)Who dreamt the wickedest of dreamsAn ancient mysteryNo prophet could interpretOf seven years of famineThe wolf is at my doorAs predicted years agoThat that was, that is, that is no more[Post-Chorus]The word predicts the future and tells the truth about the pastOf how the world leaders will hail the new PharaohThe eighth false king to the throneWashington is next[Verse 2]Disengage their minds, sabotage their healthPromote sex and war and violence in the kindergartensBlame the parents and teachersIt's their fault, "Annuit Coeptis"Attack the church dynamic, attack the familyKeep the public undisciplined 'til nothing left is sacredAnd the "have-not's" get hookedAnd have to go to the "have's" just to cop a fix[Chorus]I am the king (An evil king)Who dreams the wickedest of dreamsAn ancient mysteryNobody could interpretOf seven empires fallingThe wolf is at my doorAs predicted years agoThat that was, that is, that is no more[Post-Chorus]The word predicts my future and tells the truth about my pastOf how the world leaders are waiting to usher inThe eighth world power of modern RomeWashington is next[Guitar Solo][Chorus]There was a king (An evil king)Who dreamt the wickedest of dreamsAn ancient mysteryNo prophet could interpretOf seven empires fallingThe wolf is at my doorAs predicted years agoThat that was, that is, that is no more[Bridge]I am a king, and I dream the wildest dreamsAnd nobody could interpretSeven empires falling, the wolf is at my doorOh, that that was, that is, that is no more[Outro]There's something at my door, some ancient mysteryThe future tells the truth about the pastAnd I'm the eighth false king to the throneI've got you in my crosshairs, now, ain't that a bitch?Washington, you're next
