You take a mortal man
And make him president
Watch him become a god
Watch people’s heads a-roll
A-roll, A-roll
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
MAGA fools dance like marionettes
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction
Anti-democratic robots
Their metal brains corrode
You try to ease their fever
Before their heads explode
Explode, Explode
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
MAGA marionettes dancing
Swaying to the Symphony
The earth now is rumbling
World powers may fall
In the war for democracy
Real patriots must stand tall
Stand tall
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
MAGA monster marionettes
Sway to the Symphony
Of the Donald
Yes, still the Donald
Champion of white-fright fools
The king of bamboozle
Riding his MAGA mules
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
MAGA monster marionettes
Still swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction

Above poem modified from Megadeth’s song Symphony of Destruction, written by Dave Mustaine
As Dave Mustaine points out in the song, the problem is not just the leaders, but also the people who blindly follow them. These politicians, once they gain power, lead a “symphony of destruction” that the people follow, often to their own detriment.
Dave Mustaine says that inspiration for this song came when he was watching the movie The Manchurian Candidate.
The song came quickly to Mustaine, who says he was driving home when inspiration struck. He quickly wrote the chorus in the car and finished the song when he arrived home.
