This Was My Life (Countdown to Extinction: Live)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

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't do

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Hey, this was my life!

Hey, this was my fate!

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Hey, this was my life!

Hey, this was my fate!

[Bridge]

In our life there's "if"

In our beliefs there's "lie"

In our business there's "s-s-sin"

In our bodies there's "die"

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

This was my life

This was my fate

This was my life

This was my fate
