Anti war song - just realized
Has anyone ever noticed that "Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth seems to almost predict the Bush Administration? I just realized that after listening to the lyrics while playing it on "Guitar Hero"

You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction

Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes.
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes.
Explodes...

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...

1. Megadeth has always been a political band...
I loved "Peace Sells" when I was a kid.

Real metal out of the eighties WAS political and social. But everyone gets hung up on the hair and party bands and forgets about the real ground-pounders like Megadeth, Maiden, Priest, and Queensryche. Among others.
