Tema

Un tema clásico de Megadeth centrado en la **paranoia, la culpa y el miedo al juicio**. El narrador es una 'enfermedad social' autoproclamada y un fugitivo que reconoce sus acciones pero vive en constante **pavor** (dread) a las consecuencias, cuestionando la naturaleza del juicio moral y la vida después de la muerte.

Letra

Let me introduce myself I'm a social disease I've come for your wealth 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 judgment? 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 fear 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 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 judgment? 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 fear and the only consequences Are dread and the fugitive mind
