Megadeth These Boots Original

These Boots off of the original Killing is my Business album....
You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love, but I call sex
You've been kissing when you ought-to-be-a-screwing
And now someone else can kiss your ass
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you
You been lying and there ain't no believing
And you keep sayin,What you on about bitch
You been staying when you ought-to-be-a-leaving
Now whats right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots
Are gonna walk all over you
You've keep dressing ways you shouldn't be dressing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burned, ha!
I just found me a brand new box spring matress
What you know, bitch, you got a lot to learn
These boots are made for walking
That's just what they'll do
And one of these days these boots
Are gonna stomp all over you
Are you ready boots?
Start walking
And you think I'm kidding, don't ya?!

Gar probably took some heroin before recording this, because I'm getting exhausted only by listening to the drums, RIP legend

[@jorozco13yearsago40]

Heroin is a downer, not an upper. I would cocaine lmao Megadeth couldn't afford heroin then

[@MaybeHarvey]

They definitely had heroin and they would shoot it up in the toilets before recording. All the budget was spent on speed balls (Cocaine and heroin) so they had to get more I’m pretty sure

[@E.C.2]

Heroin is much cheaper than coke. They were doing speedballs which is speed heroin mix. All 4 of them were wired out during recording they had advance money plus playing out at night during recording.

I’m so glad I got to see this lineup live. They were never the same once Chris and Gar were no longer in the band.

[@E.C.2]

Drugs and alcohol abuse destroy anything in their path. Always thought the first 2 records had a punk rock feel. It was never the same sonically the third record wasn't nearly as "rrrarrr" compared to first 2.
