Peace Sells Lyrics

This song is Dave Mustaine's way of dispelling many stereotypes about heavy metal bands, their fans, and heavy metal music in general. The song is saying heavy metal is NOT all anti-religon, anti-goverment, lazy and rude. The line "What do you mean, 'I couldn't be president, of the United States of America'? Tell me something, it's still 'We the people', right?" Is one of Megadeths most memorable and thought provoking lyrics, in that the American goverment is been run more by beaurocrats than the American people.

@CJF i disagree, he is critiquing american society and how they are overly religious and just care about money and jobs and bureacracy
