02. Set the world afire [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 the humans all succumb Time to kiss your ass goodbye the end has just begun
Distorted figures walk the street, it's 1989 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 soon will 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 for World War III Einstein said "We'll use rocks on the other side"
