A thrashing political statement... unintentionally began to sound like a Dave Mustaine tribute when I pushed my voice to the edge and beyond.

Story behind the song
Just like most Americans, I'm sick of the BS we've been fed.
Lyrics
Weakened states, weakened nation Banks on the verge of collapse Governments tinker with economies of scale While individuals fall through the cracks Lies borne out of selfishness and gluttony Inflated bubbles on the backs of you and me Easy money to fulfill your American Dream Now the debt that defines our children’s reality Mass delusion yesterday Mass hysteria today No credit, only blame No responsibility, only shame Robbing Peter to pay Paul to save our homes As the American Empire goes the way of Rome Obama, Obama, save us, save us Save us from our harsh reality We’re obviously incapable of a life without debt So please go and print some more money Hyperinflation, devaluation Revolution crouches on the horizon Unemployment adding timber to the blaze Lady Liberty is shaking from her daze America is a house of cards, frail and weak at the seams Time to stand up and fight, bring the establishment to it’s knees

Hey Andy, Frailty rocks out man. It definitely, definitely has a Mustaine feel to it. Good for you. I dig it.
