"Loved To Death"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
Your bodies empty now as I hold you, now 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 deth
If I can't have you, then 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 deth
Solo-Mustaine
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, I loved you to deth
"Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good"

Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
I am a snyper, 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 (Repeat)
You'd better believe it

"Skull Beneath The Skin"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
Solo-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
Solo-Mustaine
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, but no one hears a sound, hellpp mmmeeeeee
Prepare the patients 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
Now your 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
Solo-Mustaine
"These Boots"
m. and l. Lee Hazelwood
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
Solo-Poland
You keep saying you got something for me, something you call love, but I call sex
You've been kissing when you ought-a-be-a screwing
And now someone else can kiss your ass
These boots are made for walking, thats just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Solo-Poland
You keep lieing and there ain't no believing
And you keep stayin when you ought-a-be-a leaving
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, thats just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Solo-Poland
You keep dressin ways you shouldn't be dressing
And you keep thinking 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 ta learn
These boots are made for walking, thats just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
Are you ready boots, start walking!
Solo-Poland
And you think I'm kiddin, don'tchya!
"Rattlehead"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
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...Rattlehead
Solo-Poland
A dose of metal you need, to bang your head 'til you bleed
It's time for snapping some neck, slashing, thrashing to Megadeth...Rattlehead
Solo-Poland
You, your head, is pounding with pain, winning, sinning, beginning,
Feeding, the needing for bleeding
Bashing, smashing, crashing, fraying, annhilating you!
Solo-Poland
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 "fittin," don't wear no spike to be "cool"
Don't want no woman beside him, just make it fast, loud and rude...Rattlehead
Solo-Mustaine
I'm a Rattle Head
Rattle your Goddamn Head!
"Chosen Ones"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
You doubt your strength or courage, don't come to join with me
For deth 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 deth, 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 till 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!
Solo-Mustaine
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 to kill
"Looking Down The Cross"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002)
Solo-Mustaine
Now before they take me and my blessed life
Now you'll know why deth 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 deth shall mean their lives
Hatred and guilt, the alter they've built, high preists 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 stay, to die besides the thieves, kill the king of the world to be
And now to you, this will come a putrifying pestolence
More noxious than the serpents breath, malevolently destined
More corrupt than the malice of choronzon
More disease than the wind of the moonlight sun
Putrification you have caused, no need for confession
Now you wish you had a gun to stop the demolition
Crushing the bones of the hundred folds, swinging the judgement 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 unhallow 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? Your weeping all alone
Solo-Mustaine
Looking down the cross (speak no evil), I'm looking down the cross (speak no evil)
"Mechanix"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (1985), Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! (Deluxe Edition) (2002), Rude Awakening (2002)
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
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, 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
Solo-Mustaine
