Set The World Afire
(Mustaine)Red flash, clouds choking out the morning sky They said it'd never come, we knew it was a lie All forms of life die now, humans all succumb Time to kiss your ass goodbye, the end has just begun Distorted figures walk the street, it's 1999 Weeds once underneath your feet have grown to vines Solo - Mustaine Bodies melted like a candle, a land without a face No time to change your fate, no time left, it's too late The arsenal of Megadeth can't be rid they said And if it comes the living will envy the dead Racing for power and all come in last No winning first stone cast This falsehood worldly peace It's treaties will soon cease No one will be left to prove that humans existed Maybe soon the children will be born open fisted We all live on one planet it will all go up in smoke Solo - Mustaine Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy And now the final scene, a global darkening Solo - Mustaine Dig deep the piles of rubble and ruins Towering overhead both far and wide There's unknown tools of World War III Einstein said "We'll use rocks on the other side" No survivors! Solo - Mustaine Set the world afire! Solo - Young No survivors, set the world afire! |

Anarchy In The UK
(Rotten, Jones, Glen Matlock, Paul Cook)Right now I am an Anti-Christ And I am an anarchist Don't know what I want, But I know how to get it I want to destroy, possibly? Cause I want to be Anarchy No dog's body Anarchy for the U.K. It's coming sometime it maybe I give a wrong time, stop a traffic light Your future dream is a shopping spree Cause I want to be Anarchy In the city Solo - Mustaine Of many ways to get what you want I use the best, I use the rest I use the enemy I use anarchy Cause I want to be Anarchy It's the only way to be Solo - Jones Is this the M.P.L.A.? Is this the U.D.A.? Is this the I.R.A.? I thought it was the U.K. You're just another country Solo - Young And other cunt-like tendencies Cause I want to be Anarchy Solo - Young Cause I want to be Anarchy, You know what I mean? Solo - Young Cause I want to be an Anarchist Again I'm pissed, destroy! |

Mary Jane
(Mustaine, Ellefson)Forgive me father, for I have sinned I'm a child of the air, I'm a witch of the wind And I'm still awake Solo - Young Mary Jane Solo - Mustaine From the earth, up through the trees I can hear her calling me Her voice rides on the breeze Oh, it's haunting me No, can't get away No, there's no escape I'm going crazy If I know I'm going crazy I must not be insane Beware my friends, as you pass by As you are now, so once was I As I am now, so you must be Prepare my friends to follow me Forgive me father, for I have sinned I'm a child of the air, I'm a witch of the wind Fingers gripped around my brain, No control, my mind is lame I'm in the astral plane, and I'll never be the same Never, never, never, never, never, never Never, never, never Beware my friends, as you pass by As you are now, so once was I As I am now, so you must be Prepare my friends to follow me It hurts so bad I can't breathe Prepare to follow me |

502
(Mustaine)Pull over shit head, this is the cops Full tank, pockets lined with cash Full throttle, gonna rip some ass Drive all day, and through the night Romance the road, winding left and right Stars above guide me, the moonlight is free A feeling inside me, and the whole world to see Driving fast makes me feel good Speed of light trapped under my hood Breaking laws 'cause there's nothing to do Driving the interstate, I'm stopped for a 502 Solo - Young Hundreds of miles rolled off today Signs lose their meaning, minutes tick away Dirt roads to interstates, I must have drove them all Cigarettes and burgers, caffeine and alcohol Drive until daybreak, always on the go Life on the freeway, night shift, dawn patrol Driving fast makes me feel good The speed of light trapped under my hood Breaking laws 'cause there's nothing to do Driving the interstate, I'm stopped for a 502 Stopped for a 502, next time it's gonna be you Solo - Mustaine Stars above guide me, A feeling inside me I drive until daybreak, Life on the freeway is Hell! I'm coming through |

In My Darkest Hour
(Mustaine, Ellefson)Solo - Mustaine In my hour of need, Ha, no, you're not there And though I reached out for you, Wouldn't lend a hand Through the darkest hour, Your grace did not shine on me Feels so cold, very cold, No one cares for me Did you ever think I get lonely? Did you ever think that I needed love? Did you ever think, stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of? You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you too Things will be better when I'm dead and gone Don't try to understand, knowing you, I'm probably wrong But, oh how I lived my life for you, Till you'd turn away Now, as I die for you, My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name All these years, thought I was wrong, Now I know it was you Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes, Tell me who you think you are? I walk, I walk alone To the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I got to die first, Please God send me on my way Solo - Mustaine Time has a way of taking time Loneliness is not only felt be fools Alone, I call to ease the pain, Yearning to be held by you Alone, so alone, I'm lost, Consumed by the pain The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again You just laughed, ha-ha, you bitch Solo - Mustaine My whole life is work built on the past, The time has come when all things shall pass, This good thing passed away Solo - Young Solo - Mustaine |

Hook In Mouth
(Mustaine, Ellefson)Cockroach in the concrete with courthouse tan and beady eyes A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies A little man with a big eraser's changing history Procedures that he's programmed to, and all he hears and sees Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue He can make a person disappear and no one will ever miss you Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was Eliminates incompetence and those who break the laws Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools You say you've got the answers, well who asked you anyway? Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way? Don't try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come I believe my kingdom will come Solo - Young Solo - Mustaine F is for fighting, R is for red Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed E, we elect them, E, we eject them In the land of the free and the home of the brave D, for your dying, O, your overture M, they will cover your grave with manure This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me As long as there's a P.M.R.C. Solo - Young Solo - Mustaine F is for fighting, R is for red Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed E, we elect them, E, we eject them In the land of the free and the home of the brave D, for your dying, O, your overture M is for money and you know what that cures This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me As long as there's a P.M.R.C. F is for fighting, R is for red Ancestors' blood in battles they've shed E, we elect them, E, we eject them In the land of the free and the home of the brave D, for your dying, O, your overture M, they will cover your grave with manure This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me As long as there's a P.M.R.C. Put your hand right up my shirt Pull the strings that make me work Jaws will part, words fall out Like a fish with hook in mouth Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws Follow the instructions of the New Ways' Evil Book of Rules Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools I'm not a fish, I'm a man Hook in Mouth |
