This is one of Megadeth famous songs with political meanings..it talks about how political leaders exploit the general people in their country and leads them to havoc and distruction for their own selfish purposes..which can be seen in the first 2 paras..
You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction
In the second verse talks about what happens when the general people tries to protest against this so called leaders...
Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes.
they starts to act like emoitonless robots and take heartless measures to stop their protest/movement..
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes.
Explodes...
they starts to put military laws and riot polices and tear gas and rubber bullets on those protesting people..
But in the last para megadesht seems to be optimistic by saying that those leaders dont last in the end..they fall..and they had to resign in the face of movement of the general people..
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...
