(Mustaine/Menza/Ellefson/Friedman)
|
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, you're 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 accelerating
|
|
[Chorus]
|
