[Verse 1]
It doesn't matter what car you drive, (she'll wreck it)
It doesn't matter where you sleep at night, (she'll wreck it)
It doesn't matter where you go to work
Doesn't matter where you go to church
Doesn't matter just how bad it hurts, (she'll wreck it)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
My bleached bones in the desert
It's all she's left of me

[Chorus]
Poison ivy in your touch
Being with you destroyed so much
Home wrecker
Deadly venom in your kiss
Hell can't be worse than this
Home wrecker

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
It doesn't matter what you pretend, (she'll wreck it)
It doesn't matter what you defend, (she'll wreck it)
It doesn't matter how you live your life
Doesn't matter anymore to your wife
Doesn't matter even how you die, (she'll wreck that too)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Like a vulture picking my bones clean
It's all that's left of me

[Chorus]
Poison ivy in your touch
Being with you destroyed so much
Home wrecker
Deadly venom in your kiss
Hell can't be worse than this
Home wrecker

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
It doesn't matter where you live
It doesn't matter what you drive
Home wrecker

[Chorus]
Poison ivy in your touch
Being with you destroyed so much
Home wrecker
Deadly venom in your kiss
Hell can't be worse than this
Home wrecker

Megadeth

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):
