Lyrics of Countdown To Extinction - Remastered/2012 by Megadeth

verse

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

verse

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

outro

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

verse

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

verse

Liars' anagram is "lairs"
Man, you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous

outro

So courageous

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

bridge

"One hour from now
Another species of life form will disappear
Off the face of the planet
Forever... and the rate is accelerating"

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
Writer(s): Nick Menza, David Ellefson, Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman
