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

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

Mechanix

Dave Mustaine

Imagine you were at my station
And you brought your motor to me
Your a burner yeah a real motor car
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do ya know luckily for you

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat
Oh yeah yeah

We were shifting hard when we took off
Put tonight all four on the floor
When we hit top end you know it feels to slow
Said you wanna get your order filled
Made me shiver when I put it in
Pumping just won't do ya know luckily for you

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat
Oh yeah yeah
Oh!

I'm giving you my room service
And ya know it's more than enough
Oh one more time ya know I'm in love

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life
Made my drive shaft crank
Made my pistons bulge
Made my ball bearing melt from the heat
Oh yeah yeah

Imagine you were at my station
And you brought your motor to me
With all four on the floor I feel what's in store

Whoever thought you'd be better
At turning a screw than me
I do it for my life
