Megadeth - This Was My Life Lyrics






[Mustaine:]
It was just another day
It was just another fight
It was words strung into sentences
It was doomed to not be right

There is something wrong with me
There is something wrong with you
There is nothing left of us
There is one thing I can do

Lying on your bed
Examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch
I throw the switch
Somewhere an electric chair awaits

Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate

This was the wrong thing to do
This was the wrong one to be doing
This was the road to destiny
This was the road to my ruin

Now there's motives for the suspect
Now there's nothing left to say
Now there's method to the madness
Now there's society to pay

Lying on your bed
Examining my head
This is the part of me that hates
Paybacks are a bitch
I throw the switch
Somewhere an electric chair awaits

Hey! This was my life
Hey! This was my fate

In our life there is "if"
In our beliefs there is "lie"
In our business there is "sin"
In our bodies there is "die"

[Solo - Mustaine:]

This was my life
This was my fate

  1. N.... ....

    I never gave this album a chance. I always stuck to the 80s megadeth albums and rust in peace, but this whole album is incredible and I’m glad I decided to listen to it finally.

    RIP gar and nick

  31. N.... f....

    In our life

    There is






    Yiff
    Lol not sorry

  32. i.... ....

    Advertisement for a World War I movie called TIME. I just saw it. I'm wondering how they'll tie in the AlPHAbitQs and the "negroes" of the day in a British combat unit. Maybe they'll make the German guys real, real white with that pancake makeup or something.
    This is why I don't watch new movies. This movie, though, I'll bet they play it historically accurate. And who knows, the loss of 1,600 men in a morning go over the top, that probably did happen dozens or even hundreds of times on the Western Front. Just no modernity to it, I hope and prey.

  33. F.... V....

    Not one I like about my comments? Since you are not interested in it, I canceled it.

  34. K.... m....

    This album is my whole childhood.

  35. J.... G....

    🤘💀🤘

  36. D.... G....

    This was my life too!

  37. D.... E....

    Been a favorite of mine since early headstart!!! #raisedonmetalftw

  38. D.... B....

    Red Lobster sucks!

  39. E.... M....

    2:57 the greatest Megadeth rift in their discography

  40. P.... N....

    No one makes riffs like Mustaine in thrash metal! You just gotta love the riffing in this song 💯

  41. A.... H....

    " In our lives there is - etc "
    That's some Amazing wordsmithing!!!

  42. H.... T....

    Now Let the All My Butterflies free!

  43. H.... T....

    You see, Why live the same life the same way. If you love something set it free. If it is meant to be it will fly back to you.

  44. D.... G....

    TJ this is my song!!!

  45. D.... G....

    I never get tired of listening to this amazing song!

  46. J.... ....

    2:56 This drop..........

  47. J.... S....

    Go ahead and send all the child insurgents after me. Whoopsy! Dodging hatchets and dancing bullets. I want to redirect your compassion.

  48. J.... L....

    Dave must have been composing songs since he was born. All of his songs are perfectly timed mixed. The intricate scales. I can go on forever. Pure perfection.

    J.... L....

    LOVE MEGADETH!!!

  53. J.... A....

    Wrote a letter to this girl and mentioned this song to express the feelings of be trapped because of me doing saying the wrong thing all the time.... Even when I couldn't have her anymore I was stuck because I never told her how I felt and still I could not let her go even though I tried so hard to do so...."This was my road to destiny, this was my road to my ruin".... "This was my LIFE, this was my FATE!!"

  54. E.... R....

    Phantom lord riff at the end

  55. A.... S....

    without mr menza....these supersonic thrash band are nobody....stivbators

  56. D.... G....

    I lost my life in 87'!

  57. E.... J....

    Ahhhh yet another song...the story of my life :)

  58. P.... T....

    The first song i ever learned how to play as a musican. Im glad i didnt waste time on smoke on the shitter or any acdc song. I jumped straight in.

  59. J.... D....

    THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME, THERES SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU

  60. P.... H....

    [Mustaine]

    It was just another day
    It was just another fight
    It was words strung into sentences
    It was doomed to not be right

    There is something wrong with me
    There is something wrong with you
    There is nothing left of us
    There is one thing I can do

    Lying on your bed
    Examining my head
    This is the part of me that hates
    Paybacks are a bitch
    I throw the switch
    Somewhere an electric chair awaits
    Hey! This was my life
    Hey! This was my fate

    This was the wrong thing to do
    This was the wrong one to be doing
    This was the road to destiny
    This was the road to my ruin

    Now there's motives for the suspect
    Now there's nothing left to say
    Now there's method to the madness
    Now there's society to pay

    [Chorus]

    In our life there's if
    In our beliefs there's lie
    In our business there's sin
    In our bodies there's die

    [Solo : Dave]

    This was my life
    This was my fate

    M.... E....

    As Metallica says I die a little more. Die to self and serve somebody today!

  90. r.... s....

    If doctors wer'e still giving me good drugs>. i swear to GOD ..i couldn't find a poddy chair now ..but i could use a nembutol? i'm just sayin

    r.... s....

    i want Xanacs but the doctor told me they were addictive. ignorance is no longer an option.

  91. S.... D....

    One good track very good

    S.... D....

    all tracks are something with all significance.

  92. E.... A....

    Menza’s transition groove into the solo section is so fucking sweet. I always lose my place. 👌🤷‍♂️👌🤷‍♂️

  93. N.... N....

    Love this song....remind's me of my past life... Lol.(HEEE!!)

  94. C.... B....

    I listen to megadeth this was my life

  95. D.... D....

  96. I.... ....

    Rust in Peace is their best metal album. Countdown is the best song-craft, with this song right there at the top.

    I.... ....

    write your own songs. know your own craft!
