About This Track
Taken from Megadeth’s ‘Scorpion’ page. Song meaning explained by Megadeth Front man Dave Mustaine himself.
“There’s a song on United Abominations called “Amerikhastan” and it talks about immigration and fighting in between religions and stuff like that, it’s basically part 2 to “Holy Wars”, and one of the lines in the songs says (in particular about the Statue of Liberty) “these are your people, Lady Liberty, pull up your dress today, and tattooed is “property of the USA… , a subsidiary of Halliburton”, and even though that’s kinda ugly sounding, it’s pretty much the truth and to me I think truth is a lot scarier than fiction, most of the time.”

I really don't know why people think this is such a bad song. I personally think this is one of the best off of United Abominations and a really good riff by Dave.

United Abominations probably wasn't my favorite album, but that doesn't change the fact that Megadeth still fucking rocks!!! Their new album kicks sooooo much ass! \m/

Black-Ash wrote:
This song is definitely about America terrorizing the world in the same way as the ones they preach to fight against.. And that predicts grim future. There should be more songwriters like Mustaine! Things need to be said, you can't trust the media. Just waiting for the day, when the Internet censorship hits the "western countrys" a la China...

G'damn, Mustaine should shove these lyrics back up his own ass. I'm so vexed by the fact that he has this holier than thou Christian attitude now too.
