Public Display of Dismemberment
[Verse 1]
Anarchy, disarray—this is the world today
Justice is a lie for the followers to get by
No peace, only guns—can't trust anyone
Live or die, it's an eye for an eye

[Chorus]
Unrest, martial law, society decays
And it's safe to say there is no other way
With lawless arrogance and savage dissidents
Public display of dismemberment

[Verse 2]
Blameless innocent, lies of the decadent
Brazen hypocrites answering to idiots
New tax, market crash—high life never lasts
No quick fix for broken politics

[Chorus]
Unrest, martial law, society decays
And it's safe to say there is no other way
With lawless arrogance and savage dissidents
Public display of dismemberment
[Lead – Hanneman]

[Bridge]
Aftermath of tolerance, judgment is defined
Individual pain is a strong incentive
Infiltrate with fear, keeping penance ever near
Punish with indecency and mutilate for all to see

[Lead – King]

[Verse 3]
Disarray, no quick fix for broken politics
Anarchy, live or die, it's an eye for an eye

[Chorus]
Unrest, martial law, society decays
And it's safe to say there is no other way
With lawless arrogance and savage dissidents
Public display of dismemberment
