[Verse 1]
Ooh, you're just in time to get inside my head
Ooh, the war of words you're underneath my skin

[Pre-Chorus]
You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the shadows
You think you know what's best for me
You hate everything you see in me
Have you looked in a mirror?

[Chorus]
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live, but who asked you anyway?
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
Cost so much more than the price, I ain't gonna pay

[Verse 2]
You only point out fault, anxiety attack
You running your mouth, you stab me in my back

[Pre-Chorus]
You hate the way I wear my clothes
You hate my friends and where we go
I see you in the shadows
You think you know what's best for me
You hate everything you see in me
Have you looked in a mirror?

[Chorus]
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live, but who asked you anyway?
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
Cost so much more than the price, I ain't gonna pay

[Bridge]
Running your mouth
Running your mouth
Stab me in the back
Anxiety attack

[Chorus]
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live, but who asked you anyway?
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
Cost so much more than the price, I ain't gonna pay

[Outro]
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
You tell me how to live, but who asked you anyway?
Hey, just whose life is this anyway?
Just whose life is this anyway?
Just whose life is this anyway?

After being kicked out of Metallica, Dave Mustaine decided to form a Thrash Metal band that not only rivaled his former band, but played faster, more technical Metal. Along with bassist David ‘Junior’ Ellefson and a revolving door of guitarists and drummers, Mustaine set the world afire as Megadeth became known as the world’s state-of-the-art Speed Metal band throughout the 80s and the early 90s. One of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Megadeth remains one of Metal’s most popular acts today.

However, Dave Mustaine’s fledgling band got off to a shaky start. Initially unable to find like-minded individuals, it was not until an altercation with his (underage) downstairs neighbours Dave Ellefson and Greg Handevidt, that led to him buying them beer and forming the first incarnation of the band with drummer Dijon Carruthers in 1983.

The band was named after a political pamphlet that referred to a “megadeath” (one million deaths by nuclear explosion):
