[Verse 1]
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gotta groove from night to day
Gotta blow my honey jar, yeah
Gotta blow my blues away
I'm gonna make a stand
I'm gonna make a million
I'm gonna make it with you
I'm gonna be with my friend
I'm gonna put you through

[Chorus]
It's electric, it's electric
It's electric, it's electric

[Verse 2]
I stop on red but I leave on amber
Danger paves my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today
Gonna get this dust from my heels
Down the Highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my route
Make it in a rock and roll show

[Chorus]
It's electric, it's electric
It's electric, it's electric

[Verse 3]
I stop on red but I leave on amber
And you face my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today
Gonna get the dust from my heels
Down the Highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my route
Make it in a rock and roll show

[Chorus]
It's electric, it's electric
It's electric, it's electric

[Outro]
It's electric, it's electric
It's electric, it's electric

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):
