Lying In State Lyrics - Dystopia - Megadeth

What we are witnessing is the decline of western civilization 

Crushing our potential and piling it on, how will history portray us? 

Attack the family 

Attack their faith and dreams 

Attack the body and the head will fall 

A lasting legacy 

Or ruin brought in haste? 

The enemy of truth 

Is lying there in state 

Another day, another manufactured crisis keeping the people distracted 

There's no one playing by the rules anymore, how will history portray us?

A broken backbone 

With nothing left to lose? 

That hate the sight of all the ones that do? 

A lasting legacy 

Or ruin brought in haste? 

The enemy of truth 

Is lying there in state 

A shiny new agenda 

Birthed from a depraved mind 

Of failing us on purpose 

To culturally sanitize 

Its opiates for the masses under cloak as hope and change 

The "new normal" or just more of the same? 

The perfect plan must have an alibi 

And the perfect pawn to spew the party line 

Of the perfect falsehood spoke a thousand times 

The perfect words cover the greatest crime 

Photos 

Hell... is turning itself inside out 

To lead its path up to meet us 

And we deliberately take 

A step, one foot closer to the grave
