Countdown To Extinction Lyrics

(Dave Mustaine/Nick Menza/David Ellefson/Marty Friedman)

Endangered species caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage is set, now pay the price
An ego boost, don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned
The hunt is canned

CHORUS
All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, thisis the countdown to extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and trophy oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt and take your turn
Liars anagram is "lairs"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous
So courageous

CHORUS

One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will dsiappear off the face of the planet forever
And the rate is accelerating

CHORUS
