Countdown to Extinction

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

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, you're so courageous

So courageous

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

Solo: Mustaine & Friedman

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
