With our callous minds we infect
Other ways of life no regrets
Like a masochist we instigate
While the rest of the world must tolerate
AMERICON!
Americon
it's all about the mother fucking oil
Regardless of the flag upon it's soil
In a blood bath we pad our fucking greed
The price is high to maintain liberty
AMERICON!
Americon
so here we live in a land of deceit
That imprison the minds of the weak
No immunity for swaying the odds
From this resistance strain americon
Americon! some feel the need to play god
No immunity for swaying the odds
From this resilient plague americon

With our poison minds we infest

In a blood bath we steal you dignity
The price is high to maintain liberty

It's about how the U.S. keep butting in other countries bussiness, EG in the war in iraq we destroyed their government even though most of the citizens didn't want it. Also how we have the strongest army in the world and cause so much death.
ya its like how the u.s has such a negative effect on the rest of the world, hence the use of the word 'con' in the song title

Lol@impuredesires But the song itself is good.
Why does Slayer think they can be political all the sudden? I kinda like it, the song is good overall. But when I want political, I'll take Rage Against the Machine or Megadeth. Also, can someone explain the name? I don't quite get it for some reason.
@DanStranger51 Let me help. AmeriCON

The song's riffs are really good, but I just tried something out for the hell of it. I like the other Slayer slow tempo songs (ex: Skeletons of Society), but this one I thought could use a pickup in speed. I increased the tempo by 15% in an audio program and the result really kicks major ass (especially the drums).
On the song title, I think by Americon they are saying that it is an American "con" (as in lying or trying to deceive people) stating that the war is about anything else but the oil.
about the song title, although i could not disagree with "abiudb", but my guess is that the title is a portmanteau, [a word made of 2 other words), American + Icon = Americon , it kinda makes sense if u think about what other nation think of US with that "Police The World" strategy their leader have been following for decades now... now u guys be the judge...
