Dread & The Fugitive Mind Lyrics

[Dave Mustaine]

Let me introduce myself
I 'm a social disease
I 've come for your wealth
And 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 judgement?
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 fears
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
