Megadeth - The Scorpion lyrics

My life is everything
That feeds my thirst, that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do
Unless you want it done to you

As I climb onto your back I
Will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want
To hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog
As I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that
I am a scorpion

My self, I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please

As I climb onto your back I
Will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want
To hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog
As I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that
I am a scorpion

As I climb onto your back I
Will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want
To hear and not mean anything
I will treat you like a dog
As I shoot my venom in
'Cause you knew all along I am the scorpion

My lies to reach the shore
I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes to steal away
All that you love I'll soon betray
Look deep into my past
The pain I feel is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse, I'm the fall of man

"Fighting broke out overnight between rival
Factions along the Israeli
Syrian border initial reports claim Israeli
Jet fighters bombed the guerrilla
Base killing at least 49
Soldiers and 13 civilians"
"A 49-year-old unidentified man went
Berserk last night
Opening fire with a 12-gauge shotgun
In a crowded downtown restaurant 14 people
Are dead including 3 children"
"A crackdown on laboratory experiments on
Animals is expected to
Become law today animal rights
Activists have been
Pushing for the bill for 9 years and have
Taken part in mass demonstrations
Throughout the nation"
"Police have smashed a
Multi-million dollar drug
Smuggling ring 22 pounds of
Heroin was seized along with a
Small amount of cocaine, marijuana
And hashish 25 people have been
Arrested and face charges ranging
From smuggling to possession for
The purpose of trafficking"
