"Set The World Afire"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
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
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
Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy and now the final scene, a global darkening
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! Set the world afire! No survivors, set the world afire!
"Anarchy In The U.K."
m. and l. Glen Matlock, Johnny Rotten, Paul Cook and Steve Jones
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
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
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
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 and other cunt-like tendencies
Cause I want to be Anarchy, cause I want to be Anarchy, you know what I mean?
Cause I want to be an Anarchist, again I'm pissed, destroy!
"Mary Jane"
m. Dave Mustaine
l. Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
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, Mary Jane
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"
m. and l. Dave Mustaine
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
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
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
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"
m. Dave Mustaine
l. Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
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
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
My whole life is work built on the past
The time has come when all things shall pass, this good thing passed away
"Liar"
m. Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson
l. Dave Mustaine
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
You take great pride in never having lived up to anything
Lie, steal, cheat and kill, a real bad guy
Your Daddy is a wino and your Mommy is quite insane
From alter boy to sewer rat, you don't give a damn
Your Sister is a junkie, gets "it" any way she can
Your Brother's a gay singer in a stud leather band
Your girlfriend's got herpes to go with your hep and AIDS
There ain't one person you know you ain't ripped off yet
Look deep in the mirror, look deep into its eyes
Your face is replaced, a creature you despise
I know what you're made of, it ain't much I'm afraid
I know you'll be lying until you dying day
Make up your stories, truth's so hard to say
Brain is numb and your tongue will surely dig your grave
Your mind is sickly from Alzheimer's Disease
And decadence and debauchery killed your memories
You're a liar, liar, liar, everyone can see
You're a liar, liar, liar, it's all you'll ever be
You're a liar, liar, liar, it's what you mean to me
You're a liar, liar, lies
Start trouble, spread pain, piss and venom, in your veins
Talk nasty, breathe fire, smell rotten, you're a liar
Sweat liquor, breathe snot, eat garbage, spit blood
Diseased, health hazard, scum bag, filthy bastard
Greasy face, teeth decay, hair matted, drunk all day
Abscessed, sunken veins, rot gut, scrambled brain
Steal money, crash cars, rob jewelry, hock guitars
Rot in hell, it's time you know, to your master, off you go
You're a liar, a fucking liar, filthy liar, liar
You fucking liar, liar!
"Hook In Mouth"
m. Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson
l. Dave Mustaine
So Far, So Good...So What! (1988)
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
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.
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
