Megadeth – The World Needs A Hero

Eklenme Tarihi: 12.12.2024

1. Disconnect

[Dave Mustaine]

Behind closed doors all you live for is taking

That double life of yours has left your whole world shaking

Who are you fooling? I know you hear the laughter

Don`t you hear people talking? What is it that your after?

Turn off your conscience

Leave the world outside

Nothing at all can ever make you feel

That anything`s so real so you just – Disconnect

The key to save yourself if for nothing else

A tongue can never hold the truth of silence is golden

With a broken heart underneath all of the pain

Do you stroke the pretty scars? The hurt never ends

Turn off your conscience

Leave the world outside

Nothing at all can ever make you feel

That anything`s so real so you just – Disconnect

[Solo – Mustaine]

Turn off your conscience

Leave the world outside

Nothing at all can ever make you feel

That anything`s so real so you just – Disconnect

Turn off your conscience

Leave the world outside

Nothing at all can ever make you feel

That anything`s so real so you just – Disconnect

[End Chorus Solos – Pitrelli & Percussion – Chris Vrenna]

2. The World Needs A Hero

[Dave Mustaine]

An Iron fist quietly sits inside the Velvet Glove

Take control, untouchable just like God above

I can`t escape, wrapped in red tape, what will become of me?

If I object, then I defect my country `tis of thee

The White House is calling

Tell them I`ll call them back

Just tell them anything

Yeah get them off my back

The world needs a hero

Not that I would ever lie but I have no choice

Words I say heard today are not mine, just my voice

NATO is on line 1

They want to talk to me

Tell them that I`m not in

Tell them that I`m not free

The world needs a hero

Phantom rule, the hidden jewel who`s really in control?

On puppet strings, a nation swings undermined by moles

The UN is on hold

Tell them I`ll call them back

Yeah tell them anything

Just get them off my back

The world needs a hero

[Solo – Mustaine]

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Dave the White House is calling

They want to talk to me

Tell them that I can`t be bought

Tell them that I`m not free

The world needs a hero

[End Solos – Pitrelli]

3. Moto Psycho

[Dave Mustaine]

Responsibility, an anchor around my neck

Dependability, made me a nervous wreck

Accountability, I live from check to check

Volatility, neglect and no respect

Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat

I hit the road to “I don`t know” and look for “Tough Shit Street”

[Solo – Pitrelli]

One-way ticket nowhere there`s no windows on this train

Can`t see where I`m headed but I`m going there again

Moto Psycho

Going nowhere everybody is a

Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby

Going nowhere 100 miles an hour

Moto Psycho I`m a Moto Psycho

Moto Psycho

You know you can`t resist to tell me what I mean

You gave my mind a twist said that I was unclean

The actor runs the play and ad-libs in between

You`re all that I resent my thoughts were so obscene

Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat

I hit the road to “I don`t know” and look for “Tough Shit Street”

[Solo – Mustaine]

One-way ticket nowhere there`s no windows on this train

Can`t see where I`m headed but I`m going there again

Moto Psycho

Going nowhere everybody is a

Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby

Going nowhere 100 miles an hour

Moto Psycho I`m a Moto Psycho

One-way ticket nowhere there`s no windows on this train

Can`t see where I`m headed but I`m going there again

Moto Psycho

Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho

Going nowhere move it or lose it baby Moto Psycho

Going nowhere 100 miles an hour Moto Psycho

Where I`m headed I don`t know but I`m shoving off and I hit the road

Going nowhere everybody is a Moto Psycho – time and time and time again I`m a

Moto Psycho

Moto Psycho move it or lose it baby

Going nowhere 100 miles an hour

Moto Psycho I`m a Moto Psycho

4. 1000 Times Goodbye

[Dave Mustaine]

The tides of change pulled us apart

I feel a familiar pain

It seems like years since we`ve loved

Or even liked and that`s a lonely way to be

Drifting alone in a sea of agony

Your face I can`t recognize

Don`t make this hard on us

I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong

Nothing left but wasted days

I regret you leaving

But I will never take you back

[Solo – Pitrelli]

You know what? It`s over

I just don`t feel the same way as I used to

We`ve been together forever, but it`s over

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye

The thought never crossed my mind

That this would be my last goodbye

Let me put pennies on your eyes

And kiss your lips one last goodbye

My love 1000 times goodbye

It seems nothing good is free

A good thing cost much more than the price

You were good but not that good

Don`t kid yourself now it`s time to beak up

Drifting alone in a sea of agony

Your face I can`t recognize

Don`t make this hard on us

I will miss you if you just go away

I did no right you did no wrong

Nothing left but wasted days

I regret you leaving

But I`ll never take you back

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Don`t call me anymore. It`s just not.

I don`t feel the same way about you

Its not as good as it used to be

Goodbye 1000 times goodbye

The thought never crossed my mind

That this would be my last goodbye

Let me put pennies on your eyes

And kiss your lips one last goodbye

My love 1000 times goodbye

[Repeat Chorus]

[Solo – Mustaine]

I`ll always love you but just not like that

Like what?

I want to be honest with you I met someone else

You did what?

And I really, I really love him like I used to love you

Remember the time that I told you that

I was going out of town for business?

Well I went to see him

You know what? You suck!

[Solo – Mustaine]

Goodbye 1000 times

You`ll always have a special place

In my heart you know that

It`s just I can`t be with you anymore it`s over

Goodbye 1000 times

Things may not work out with him

Goodbye 1000 times

And if they don`t

Goodbye 1000 times

Then I`ll certainly call you

Goodbye 1000 times

You mean a lot to me

I still really want to be friends with you

I love you like you`re my brother

5. Burning Bridges

[Dave Mustaine]

You give up on yourself

Somehow you got betrayed agin

Thin ice and luck runs out

Who will you blame it on this time?

Due to lack of interest in you

The light at the end of the tunnel

Was turned off

And something I noticed

Beating you is thrilling me

I`ve got a secret for you

If you took your own direction

If only you practice what you preach

If you follow your advice

You wouldn`t be burning bridges all the time

Don`t close your eyes to injustice

Listen, being brave ain`t chicken shit

A man without any valor

Has nothing worth living for

Due to lack of interest in you

The light at the end of the tunnel

Was turned off

And something I noticed

Beating you is thrilling me

I`ve got a secret for you

If you took your own direction

If only you practice what you preach

If you follow your advice

You wouldn`t be burning bridges all the time

[Solo – Mustaine]

[Solo – Pitrelli]

If you took your own direction

If only you practice what you preach

If you follow your advice

You wouldn`t be burning bridges all the time

If you took your own direction

If only you practice what you preach

If you follow your advice

You wouldn`t be burning bridges all the time

6. Promises

[Dave Mustaine&Al Pitrelli]

Two hearts that shouldn`t

Talk to each other become close

In a town much like a prison cell

People speak our names

On the street in hushed tones

Oh the stories they`d tell

If anyone would listen

You come from a town where

People don`t bother saying hello

Unless somebody`s born or dies

And I come from a place where they

Drag your hopes through the mud

Because their own dreams are all dying

And when we walk down the street

The wind sings our name in rebel songs

The sounds of the night should make us anxious

But it`s much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you

Where we can be together, I promise you

I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you

I promise, I promise

There`s so many fighting

To get past the Pearly Gates

But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren`t that good

And I can smell the asphalt

That`s their personal road to hell being paved

And when we walk down the street

The wind sings our name in rebel songs

But it`s much to late when the fear is gone

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you

Where we can be together, I promise you

I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you

I promise, I promise

[Solo – Pitrelli & Solo – Mustaine]

I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you

Where we can be together, I promise you

I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you

I promise, I promise

7. Recipe For Hate. . . Warhorse

[Dave Mustaine]

Each day my shortcomings pick my pockets

My faults were letters carved in stone

As meaningful to you as words written in water

I`m left to walk this world alone

[Fill solos – Mustaine]

In a broken mold they made me

The black sheep of the family

Worth less than zero my opinion

And room temperature IQ

I did something, now I`m nothing

Always wrong with this or that

Poisoned with fear watch it twist

My measly brain mad

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Talk about me when my bac is turned

Next time we meet it will be to late

The memory burned in my ears of what you said

And now I`ve got a recipe for hate. Taste it

[Fill solos – Mustaine]

Dark clouds on the horizon

Make it hard to breathe

A walking mistake but every time

I run away, I just come back for more

The choice is clear I can quit

And fall on my sword or light a fire

To see who runs or stays

And plays the confidence game

[Solo – Pitrelli]

…Warhorse

I`m feeling quite invisible

I feel just like thin air

The truth taunts me

[Solo – Mustaine]

I see the earth below me

I watch it spinning there

Does someone, somewhere

Out there hear me?

[Solo – Pitrelli]

Sentenced to walk in Purgatory

My life is running down

I can`t believe what they`ve done to me

[Solo – Mustaine]

I`m left riding a Warhorse

A man without a country

[Solos – Mustaine, Pitrelli, Mustaine, Pitrelli]

8. Losing My Senses

[Dave Mustaine]

One man speaking the truth

No one likes when it fits

So we tell soothing lies

And betray our own lips

The uncivilized world

And its people decay

Once sweet breeze is defiled

Sucking our breath away

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

Yesterday`s answers has nothing to do

With today`s questions

Life can only be understood in reverse

But must be lived forwards.

I`m losing my senses, I`m losing my senses

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

We watch as the living all die

Contemplating if we should

Ever open our eyes

If all that we touch

Keeps turning to sand

We will cease to exist

Till the last living man

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

Yesterday`s answers has nothing to do

With today`s questions

Life can only be understood in reverse

But must be lived forward.

Life can only be understood in reverse

But must be lived forward.

I`m losing my senses

[Fill Solos – Mustaine & Solo – Pitrelli]

Yesterday`s answers has nothing to do

With today`s questions

Life can only be understood in reverse

But must be lived forwards.

Life can only be understood in reverse

But must be lived forwards.

[Fill Solos and Synth – Mustaine]

[String Arrangement – Suzie Katayama]

9. Dread And The Fugitive Mind

[Dave Mustaine]

Let me introduce myself I`m a social disease

I`ve come for your wealth leave you on your knees

No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own

I won`t ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone

What`s yours is mine and what`s mine is mine too

If you shake my hand better count your fingers

What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?

If I`m right I lose nothing, if you`re right I lose it all

I ought to get caught because I`m doing something wicked

I`m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences

Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind

You built walls to protect you so no one will infect you

Pursued by those out there that vanish in thin air

Come a long way to find what you really left behind

You don`t know when the end is but it`s coming fast

What`s yours is mine and what`s mine is mine too

If you shake my hand better count your fingers

What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?

If I`m right I lose nothing, if you`re right I lose it all

I ought to get caught because I`m doing something wicked

I`m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences

Are Dread and the Fugitive Mind

[Solos – Mustaine, Pitrelli]

10. Silent Scorn

[Dave Mustaine]

[Solo – Mustaine]

[Trumpet – Bob Findley]

11. Return To Hangar

[Dave Mustaine]

Welcome to an empty fortress

A mighty wreck that once was proud

Ate alive by oxidation

Abandoned by a crew of cowards

Navigation systems failed

Computers crashed and they all fall down

Possibly I`ve seen too much

Hangar 18 I know too much

[Solo – Pitrelli]

All the guilty paid the price

Suspended by their broken necks

No one survived to tell the story

When foreign life forms resurrect

And military intelligence is

Still two words that can`t make sense

Possibly I`ve seen too much

Hangar 18 I know too much

[Solos – Pitrelli, Mustaine]

[Solos – Pitrelli, Mustaine, Pitrelli, Mustaine]

12. When

[Dave Mustaine]

No hears a word I say

And my prayers are never answered

But you`ll never see the pain inside of me

Stabbing me over and over and over

I trusted you and I loved you

And you spit back in my face

How could you do this to me?

When will you stop trying to hurt me?

I`ve walked a minefield for you

A career in hell with you

I have made it through the things

Others would surely die just watching

And the oath I take on this day

Is to know that you will be repaid

One day the the sun will die and the night will crawl

Until then, until I see your world implode

I wish you death and suffering

Misery to spare

Time to release your pain

Face the last enemy

I am the last thing you will know

The last thing you will see

I see your death surrounding me

I know you, yes I do

I know you

[Fill Solos – Mustaine]

When no words are spoken and please are ignored

Your tears go unnoticed, will you say enough?

When prayers are unanswered and your calls are unheard

The pain cuts right through you, have you seen enough?

It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies

A black cloud of indecision compromised your life

When judgement has failed you

When your own heart`s impaled you

Your wandering mind has destroyed you

Will you ever know when?

When you give everything and the feeling is gone

All the giving is fake, did you fake enough?

When you take everything and you stay too long

When there`s nothing left, did you take enough?

It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies

A black cloud of indecision compromised your life

When judgement has failed you

When your own heart`s impaled you

Your wandering mind has destroyed you

Will you ever know when?
