Use The Man - Megadeth

I saw her today, I saw her face

Was the face I loved and I knew

I had to run away

And get down on my knees and pray-ay

That they’d go away

But still they begin…

Needles and pins

Needles and pins

Needles and pins…

I heard somebody fixed today

There was no last goodbyes to say

His will to live ran out

I heard somebody turned to dust

Looking back at what he left

A list of plans and photographs

Songs that never will be sung

These are the things he won’t get done

The things he won’t get done…

I’ve seen the man use the needle

Seen the needle use the man

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle

To the gutter on their hands

They fight a war but it’s fatal

It’s so hard to understand

I’ve seen the man use the needle

Seen the needle use the man

Just one shot to say goodbye

One last taste to mourn and cry

Scores and shoots, the lights go dim

Just one shot to do him in

He hangs his head and wonders why

Why the monkey only lies, lies, lies…

But pay the pauper, he did choose

He hung his head inside the noose

He hung his head inside the noose, oh…

I’ve seen the man use the needle

Seen the needle use the man

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle

To the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but it’s fatal

It’s so hard to understand

I’ve seen the man use the needle

Seen the needle use the man

Cryptic writing on the wall

The beginning of the end

I’ve seen myself use the needle

Seen the needle in my hand

I’ve seen the man use the needle

Seen the needle use the man

I’ve seen them crawl from the cradle

To the coffin on their hands

They fight a war but it’s fatal

It’s so hard to understand

I’ve seen myself use the needle

Seen the needle in my hand

In my hand, in my hand

In my hand!
