Drinking cold cerveza in a boiling hot saloon
Chasing shots of tequila, just about high noon
Outside Nuevo Laredo, deep in no man's land
Become a killer or be killed; face down in the Rio Grande
Poverty will turn the life of any good man bad
All love and mercy ever learned, he'll soon forget what he had
Guns, drugs, and money under the Mexican sky
Guns, drugs, and money; pick your poison or you die
Guns, drugs, and money; a pistol pressed to his head
Choose silver and you're rich; you gonna die if you choose lead
He had a suitcase full of money, plenty of ammo for his gun
The sweat rolls down his dirty face, his plans have all come undone
It's just a matter of time, no matter how he tries
He hears ?Plata O Plomo, Gringo?? the last words before he dies
The lyrics GUNS, DRUGS & MONEY of MEGADETH is also present in the album Thirteen (2012)
Megadeth è una band di thrash metal statunitense formatasi a Los Angeles nel 1983. Fondata dal chitarrista e cantante Dave Mustaine, ex membro dei Metallica, il gruppo ha rapidamente guadagnato fama per la sua musica aggressiva, complessa e politicamente carica. Mustaine si distingue per le sue riff chitarristici veloci e intricate, mentre i testi affrontano temi come la guerra, la società, la religione e la libertà individuale. Tra gli album più importanti figurano "Rust in Peace" (1990), considerato un capolavoro del thrash metal, e "Countdown to Extinction" (1992), che ha raggiunto il successo commerciale. Megadeth ha collaborato con artisti come Marty Friedman, Nick Menza e Shawn Drover, contribuendo a definire l'evoluzione del genere thrash metal negli anni '80 e '90. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due", "Symphony of Destruction" e "Peace Sells".
