Dave Mustaine [Guitar]

Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking

Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you

Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone

Pulling your strings justice is done
Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving

Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

*The ultimate in vanity
Exploiting their supremacy
I can't believe the things you say
I can't believe
I can't believe the price you pay
Nothing can save you
Justice is lost
Justice is raped
Justice is gone
Pulling your strings justice is done Seeking no truth winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

Lady Justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in

Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth?
I cannot tell, cannot feel

* Repeat

Seeking no truth, winning is all
Find it so grim, so true, so real

End of passion play crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear
Sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

*Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to how I'm killing you

**Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master, master
Master of puppets
I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind
And smashing your dreams
Blinded by me you can't see a thing
Just call my name cause
I'll hear you scream master, master
Just call my name cause
I'll hear you scream master, master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

* Repeat

** Repeat

Master, master
Where's the dreams that I've been after
Master, master
You promised only lies
Laughter, laughter
All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, laughter laughing at my cries


Hell is worth all that natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze
Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I'll occupy
I'll help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule too

** Repeat

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You you're smothered in tragedy
You're out to save the world

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company

Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery

You just stood there creaming
My friend of misery

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make
my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in the cage
Can't they see
It's why my brain says rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
And cannot breath the open air
Whisper thing into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us
from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone


Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

Say your prayers little one
don't forget my son
to include everyone
tuck you in warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong
shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white
dreams of war dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite
sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight
exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now I lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
pray the lord my soul to take
hush little baby
don't say a word
and never mind
that noise you heard
it's just the beast
under your bed
in your closet
in your head
exit light
enter night
grain of sand
exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honour

Like twisted vines that grow, that hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded primadonna

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back

And can't the band play on
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane (sane)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
(humming by Marianne Faithfull)

Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane (sane)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains

Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
The memory remains

Yeah
To this faded primadonna, yeah, yeah

(solo)

Dance little tin goddess, dance
(humming by Marianne Faithfull)

(Say yes ... at least say hello
Say yes ...or at least say hello)

No life till leather
We are gonna kick some ass tonight
We got the metal madness

It's right well alright
When we start to rock

I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true
