the scorpion 

1. Megadeth'in the system has failed albümündeki mükemmel şarkılarından birisi... Azop'un kurbağa ve akrep masalından esinlenerek yazılmıştır.
   
   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, oh-ohhh!
   
   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, oh
   
   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, oh-oh!
   
   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, oh
   
   as i climb onto your back, i promise not to sting
   i 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 a scorpion, ya!
   
   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 deal is unsurpassed
   i'm not a lowly scorpion
   i'm so much worse; i'm the fall of man

2. dave mustaine nin aşmış gitar riffleri vurucu vokali ve vinnie colaiuta nın hayvani davul partisyonlarını dinleyebileceğimiz megadeth in geri döndüm dediği parçadır aynı zamanda..

5. megadeth'in harika şarkısı. riffler ve tempo tam bir thrash metal havası yaratmaktadır ayrıca benim için önemi megadeth dinlemeye bu şarkıyla başlamış olmamdır.
