Dawn Patrol Lyrics
Thermal count is rising
In perpetual writhing
The primordial ooze
And the sanity they lose
Awakened in the morning
To more air pollution warnings
Still we sleepwalk off to work
While our nervous systems jerk
Pretending not to notice
How history had forebode us
With the green house in effect
Our environment was wrecked
Now I can only laugh
As I read our epitaph
We end our lives as moles
In the dark of dawn patrol
Also the song from which Metallica stole the bass for the intro to "The God That Failed".
Yeah Metallica tends to do that to Mustaine. In my opinion their decline after the black album is due to running out of Mustaine's influence from their short time with him in the band.

I love the bass in this song x3 It goes great with the drums.
We kind of are fucking over the environment, guys.
obvious what this is about, if we dont stop raping the fosil fuels, this is what will happen, the air will become so polluted we'll have to live underground.
Good call night break. I never really made the connection, but now that I listen to it wow.
And like said, its about scraping our planet dry. Its really easy to relate this to the matrix where Agent Smith compares humans to a virus. They rape and multiply in one area that they are occupying, and once that area is bone dry, they move on. Their is only so much room. Great song Megadeth!
Hmmm...don't really like this song, it doesn't really fit in with the overall thrash of the album.
I think there was a point to it. It was right before Rust in Peace... Polaris, which is about the same thing, just using nuclear war. Dawn Patrol is supposed to set the doomed mood, and give the drum intro something to bounce off from, something slow to hit the gas

WRONG! This song is about the survivors of a nuclear war, living underground, the earth and its remaining people have succumed to radiation fallout, pointing out if nukes were ever used they would destroy everything not just "the enemy"
It never actually says anything about nukes, Reub, while it does mention the greenhouse effect.
To me, this song is about a group of people forced underground because of a mixture of pollution, and radiation. Mustaine is meant to be a man who saw everything like this coming, but no one would listen to him.
I think it's about the aftermath of a nuclear war.
@gwilikers6 it’s obviously about the dangers of fossil fuels. Not only mentioning the greenhouse effect, but the line “I can only laugh, when I read our epitaph” hits at a very ironic death of the human race and what could be more ironic then being killed by the one thing we depended on so much.
