The Saddist Nation Lyrics
One nation under the gun
Where forward thinking is shunned
A morbid tradition
Of archaic value systems
Where violence justified
Is just another pride
Under the surface lies
A holy plastic empire
With guarded golden fences
Where misfortune
Shelters decisions
A pain wrought from blood flowing green
The myth of protection
Is a sick fascination
A culture of violence is what you are feeding
Fear is an heirloom
And hate is contagious
A nation of sadists is what you are breeding
It's everywhere
It's everywhere that you see
But who decides
If you watch or turn the other cheek
And only in your mind
Is it your given right to be armed to the teeth
It's a common disease
The only immunity is to disarm
This holy plastic empire disease
Where forward thinking is shunned
A morbid tradition
Of archaic value systems
Where violence justified
Is just another pride
Under the surface lies
A holy plastic empire
With guarded golden fences
Where misfortune
Shelters decisions
A pain wrought from blood flowing green
The myth of protection
Is a sick fascination
A culture of violence is what you are feeding
Fear is an heirloom
And hate is contagious
A nation of sadists is what you are breeding
It's everywhere
It's everywhere that you see
But who decides
If you watch or turn the other cheek
And only in your mind
Is it your given right to be armed to the teeth
It's a common disease
The only immunity is to disarm
This holy plastic empire disease

Soooo GOoD. The world is "kill crazy" and I hate it too.
I don't necessarily agree with the political inferences in this song, but our world is plagued by violence ad I think thats the message they're trying to get across. It doens't sound like they're in favor of gun control, which is what I thought when I first heard the song, but they're more or less talking about violence in general.
I think you got it backwards... I think it's talking about how the police can hide behind their guns... Second to last line- The only immunity is to disarm I think that says quite a bit.
I have no clue what this song means but its by far one of the most awesome metal songs ive heard in my life
maybe its a pro-gun song :P
In my opiniion. It's a song about how much violence is influenced today.
Its clearly about the sickness and depravity of Conservative Ameri(k)an culture. Like patriot virus.
I think it's got something to do with anti-war and the conservative mindset
well conservative and anti-war are complete opposites. but i think it is about how the world is just a bit to violent and we need to disarm in order to achieve peace not just keep blowing the shit out of eachother.
This songs one of my favorite darkest hour songs
and Its about how violence is ruining the world and how disarming is a big step to world peace.
Which I agree with, Violence is really stupid
