Frontman Dave Mustaine explained that this song "is about a bill that ex-President George W. Bush signed into law that gave him the power to put American citizens in concentration camps that are actually called 'detention centers' here in the United States."
The song is the title track of Megadeth's twelfth studio album. Mustaine said in publicity materials: "Thematically, I've never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation. As more is revealed about our former President's legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document which was signed into law, named 'Endgame', has been uncovered. The album Endgame is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed 'Endgame' - the document - into law. The album is also the perfect 'ass-kicking' music."
Endgame was helmed by Mustaine and acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap, who also manned the boards for 2007's United Abominations.
