                      Countdown To Extinction
                Written by Dave Mustaine, Nick Menza
                 Marty Friedman, and David Ellefson
                        (C) 1992 by Megadeth.



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, this is 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, your so courageous...
So courageous.

CHORUS

One hour from now another species of life form will disappear 
off the face of the planet forever...and the rate is accelrating.

The only reason I uploaded the lyrics is because I wanted you
to see the good message of this song.  We love this song and we 
hope you enjoy this song.  Listen to Megadeth's version, Dave 
Mustaine has a cool voice.
