Post American World Lyrics

Lyric discussion by PaulD 

Cover art for Post American World lyrics by Megadeth

This song is about the divisive and subversive (using false narrative) approach of politicians who want a globalist agenda or a post-American (also a post-nationalistic) world. Demonization of those who resist the false narrative and hesitate to move away from what has made them strong creates segregation and suspicion of those within one's own nation. Creating outrage and animosity toward others creates motivation to vote and engage in activity that supports the agenda of those who want a post-American world (“creeping hate if you resist the false narrative”). However, Dave points out how short-sighted this globalist vision is: if they do not like what is happening now and America is so wrong, what in the world makes them think they will like what is coming next? If there’s a new way, Dave will be the first in line.
