It's funny how songs like this, Forget To Remember, Kingmaker and Beginning of Sorrow have such excellent lyrics but then you get "Burn, babyy Burn!!!"
Dave & co. :-"The Powers that be" is one of my songs and it is in the privacy of my studio... So please do not disturb it with this clamorous music! Phil(The great man)
Even though I have been disappointed with this album overall, the urge to listen to this song kept bearing on my mind. I'm glad I did. I'm reminded of how good it is. I only wish the whole album would have been to this standard.
When Mustaine refers to the powers that be, I am sure he is referring to the U.S. government, but also the New World Order or the U.N. see-"Washington is Next," and "United Abominations." - a random Google user
I have the same feeling - I've never really liked Megadeth so much but this song has just so much feeling. Even though the singing is kinda lame on this one I still like this. Maybe it's something personal.
I love you guys in this comment thread for knowing about the STORM that is coming to America and the world. TRUMP will be back as president. Mark my words! 19TH PRESIDENT
what is he referring to in the sentence "powers that be" ..... I'm not American so maybe it has something to do with America since this song is obviously about American politics .....anyway i do agree it's a great song in an OK album
they're still doing way better than metallica, metallica takes three or four years til they make a "good" album. Megadeth can have a year or two and make theirs sound better. And also, Dave & Megadeth are not gods, if they don't do want you want them to do, it doesn't matter, it's not like they're gonna hear what you say!!!
i dont give a fuck what haters say, this song is fucking BRILLIANT, musically and lyrically. probably my fav in this record
clearly Dave knows what the heck is going on.
one of my favorite song on the album. If you give it a chance it will grow on you.
I gave it a chance and turns out that you were right.
EVERY MEGADETH SONG GROWS ON YOU!!! MEGADETH RULES!!!🤘🤘🤘
Holy fuck…
I changed the lyrics in my mind and made it sound like a war song... now every time I listen it I think on the Ukrainian crisis... what have I done...
After I purchased this Cd I enjoy maybe two songs but after a bit I realized how good this album really is. Dave speaks the truth.
Welcome to 2021. Where these lyrics are even more true sadly.
This IS the News!
Thats a great song. Made the whole album worth existing for me....
This song was out just before the Ed Snowden revealations... Big brother is here.
It's funny how songs like this, Forget To Remember, Kingmaker and Beginning of Sorrow have such excellent lyrics but then you get "Burn, babyy Burn!!!"
One of my favorite megadeth songs.
SONG Rules wow!!!! I see it Now dammmm awesome band !!!!
Outstanding tune on medicore album.
The album is all good like that open your ears ....
Such apt, true lyrics for today.......AWESOME!!!!
I really wish this would get released as a single. I like the vocal melody line a lot.
Its like second part to Pracę sells who is buing with riffs from Killing is my business. Love it
Almost 2024 and I still fucking love this song not to mention it’s the state of our country these days 😢
Dave & co. :-"The Powers that be" is one of my songs and it is in the privacy of my studio... So please do not disturb it with this clamorous music! Phil(The great man)
Best Solo from Chris Broderick so far in Megadeth. Really cool and his first big signature. Cheers, Chris!
Dance in the rain, life is gonna happen.
Beautiful!
Even though I have been disappointed with this album overall, the urge to listen to this song kept bearing on my mind. I'm glad I did. I'm reminded of how good it is. I only wish the whole album would have been to this standard.
David is a very astute man. Rock on Dave!!!

Best song of 2013
2020 America
1:07 - 1:27 Best part
Good stuff.
holy shit ! the best song after all of the album TWNAH
If she does not forgive me, then this song will be the song of my life.
AMEN!!!
the equivalent of the combat saying "embrace the suck"
Dave wrote this song for Me....and you too I guess
This song is too fucking AWESOME! I highly approve.
I really liked his solo on Headcrusher and 44 Minutes.
Well, thanks COVID-19 now we can work from home most of the time, at least that..
My fav song from that mediocre album, Dave is such a great composer.
well, actually it's because the two main chords (Eaug and the Fdim) are the same ones played in the verse of looking down the cross :)
calm before the storm
i think this is the political song for the supercollider album
the voice in the last part of the song is very similar to the david's voice
SPEECHLESS
I have the same feeling - I've never really liked Megadeth so much but this song has just so much feeling. Even though the singing is kinda lame on this one I still like this. Maybe it's something personal.
Funny how these types of Music don’t get enough views or listeners because of the distracted of the truth. The truth hurts 👍
Get in
I understand. It have been hard for Dave being kicked out of Metallica.
"a storm is coming"- Mustaine
"the calm before the storm" - Trump
"what storm mr president?" - ignorant CNN reporter
"you will have to wait and find out (mic drop)" - Trump
@@SirSquash why ignorant? Trump clearly didn't know what storm himself.
I love you guys in this comment thread for knowing about the STORM that is coming to America and the world. TRUMP will be back as president. Mark my words! 19TH PRESIDENT
Don't mention the broken promises and lies of hope and change. Apparently everyone forgot.
hi from 2019
Hello from 2020
DAVID DRAIMAN ladies and gentleman
does anybody else think about how bad ass Dave Mustaine will look if his hair ever turns gray
metaltats666 no but thanks that would look great
lol. the only thing hes gunna look like is old
3:38 is this the dude from Disturbed singing?
Deformeds yes he is
You better believe it haha
yes
Yup. The legend himself.
Why Shacar Sagui? David was hardly in the song.
Why? What do they have to do with anything? O_o
dude go put on peace sells and rust in peace albums
what is he referring to in the sentence "powers that be" ..... I'm not American so maybe it has something to do with America since this song is obviously about American politics .....anyway i do agree it's a great song in an OK album
He is not referring to anything American. The powers that be is a reference to the people who run the world. The people trying to enslave the masses.
@@robertparker481 so far, so good, SO WHAT 🤘💯💪
they're still doing way better than metallica, metallica takes three or four years til they make a "good" album. Megadeth can have a year or two and make theirs sound better.

we are dancing in the rain of far left tears right now
it aint so bad after all i guess
this song would be so much better withouth david
David draiman better be megadeth's vocalist.
MrKondolon I think you mean Megadeth is a much better band for him to sing for.
Democratic Slavocracy
Mierda.
get out.
Average Album, Great Track
Best song on the new album in my opinion
