Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!

Last Rites / Loved to Deth

Dave Mustaine

And now I'm down belowYour body's empty now As I hold you Now your gone I miss you But I told you I remember bad times More than good There's no coming back Even if we could I loved you to death If I can't have you Than no one will And since I won't I'll have to kill My only love, something I've never felt Now you've gone to heaven And I'll burn in hell I loved you to death

And now I'm down below

And what do I see You didn't go to heaven Your down in hell with me And now your coming back Baby take me please! I really think I would If you weren't such a sleaze I loved you once before You kept me on a string I'd rather go without Than take what you would bring!

We loved you to death

Wow!!!

killing is my business... and business is good

I am a sniper Always hit the mark Paid assassin Working after dark Looking through the night Using infra-red My target on you Aimed at your head $10, 000 up front $10, 000 when I'm through

And I know just what to do And ya know I'll do it too Then I'm coming back for you Back for you! I do the "getting rid of" Don't tell me why Don't need to hear the truth Don't need the lies Now pay me quickly And now we're through It brings me great pleasure

To say my next job is you Don't you know that Killing is my business And business is good And business is good You'd better believe it

The Skull Beneath the Skin

Dave Mustaine

Mean and infectious, the evil prophets rise Dance of the Macabre, as witches streak the sky Decadent worship of black magic sorcery In the womb of the Devil's Dungeon trapped without a plea, oh

Seething in agony, necrosis is the fate Pins sticking through the skin, the venom now sedates Locked in a pillory, nowhere to be found Screaming for your life, no one hears a sound Help me!

Prepare the patient's scalp to peel away Metal caps his ears, he'll hear not what we say Solid-steel visor riveted cross his eyes Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries

The skull beneath the skin The skull beneath

Now you're drawn and quartered, your bones will make the 'X' Symbol stands for poison, and it's chained to your head And as we fold your arms to make the holy cross We cross the crucifix, religion has been lost

The skull beneath the skin The skull beneath the skin

The skull beneath the skin

These Boots

Dave Mustaine

You keep sayin' you got somethin' for me Somethin' you call love, but I call sex You've been kissin' when you ought-a-be screwin' And now someone else can kiss your ass

These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what I'll do And one of these days these boots Are gonna walk all over you

You been lyin' and there ain't no believin' And you keep sayin' what you want it in the bed You been stayin' when you ought-a-be-a leavin' And what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet

These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what I'll do And one of these days these boots Are gonna walk all over you

You keep dressin' ways you shouldn't be dressin' And you keep thinkin' that you'll never get burned, ha I just found me a brand-new box spring mattress What? You know, bitch, you got a lot to learn

These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what I'll do And one of these days these boots Are gonna stomp all over you Yeah

Are you ready, boots? Are you ready, boots? Are you ready, boots? Start walkin'

And you think I'm kiddin', don'tcha?

Rattlehead

Dave Mustaine

Well, Here I come Stand up and plant your feet Listen I'm letting off steam Now throw your hands in the air Let loose I don't fuckin' care

Rattle Head

A dose of metal you need To bang your head til you bleed It's time for snapping some neck Slashing, thrashing to Megadeth

Rattle Head

You, Your head, is pounding with pain Winning, sinning, beginning Feeding, the needing for bleeding Bashing, smashing, crashing Fraying, annihilating you!

There's someone back in the shadows You feel though you can't see his eyes He'll bash your head if you cross him Ain't quite your average guy Don't wear no leather to fitting Don't wear no spike to be "cool" Don't want no woman beside him Just make it fast, Loud and Rude

Rattle Head

I'm a Rattle HeadRattle your Goddamn Head!

Chosen Ones

Dave Mustaine

You doubt your strength or courage Don't come to join with me For death surely wants you With sharp and pointy teeth An animal so vicious No others fought and won So on the fields of battle We are the chosen ones

Human bones blanket the dirt Of the heathens lair That we must pass this den of death The only path from here But I walk in the light The time to die has come No one shall take my life I'm of the chosen ones

Black shadows fill the sky As the creatures eyes grow near Raise the shield of the holy pilgrims High into the air Heavens powers fill my arms Onward now to fight I'm sent Oh the beast is coming To put you to the test

Lookout!

Now this land is mine to pilage Rape, and steal, and take at will Never let you cross this path I reign, for now, I stay... woah I stay to kill

You doubt your strength or courage Don't come to join with me For death surely wants you With sharp and pointy teeth An animal so vicious No others fought and won So on the fields of battle We are the chosen ones

Looking down the cross

Dave Mustaine

Now before they take me and my blessed life Now you'll know why death was summoned here tonight I'll recall my perils they'll kill me in pride No, I can't run away there's no place to hide

Though too much to live for I owe enough to die Ask not for salvation my death shall mean their lives Hatred and guilt the alter they've built, high priests of sin Destiny, fate the wicked ones gate beckoning you in

Down the walkways through the blood stained town Looking down the cross bleeding from the crown Led to slay, to die besides the thieves Kill the king of the world to be

And now to you, this will come a putrefying pestilence More noxious than the serpent's breath malevolently destined More corrupt than the malice of Choronzon More disease than the wind of the moonlight sun

Putrefaction you have caused no need for confession Now you wish you had a God to stop your demolition Crushing the bones of the hundredfolds swinging the judgment hammer Man, woman, child no-one is safe the heads of the dead are the banner

And this was all you got so don these broken wings Sands of time run out, bells of Hades ring Is this a nightmare to un-hallow thy name Smell of brimstone dancing in the flames No help now as you fulfill his task Chief of evil has got you by the ass Set free to sit upon the throne Just a dream, you're weeping all alone

Looking down the cross, speak no evil I'm looking down the cross, speak no evil
