This is Megadeth's version of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and appeared on the Black Sabbath tribute-album "Nativity In Black: A Tribute To Black Sabbath" (part one: there are two albums). Later, it also appeared on the Megadeth-album "Hidden Treasures" which contained more covers and special tracks/b-sides by Megadeth. At the end of the song, then drummer Nick Menza carries on drumming to which Dave shouts Nick! three times. A few seconds later Nick says "Fuck me running". On the CD it is turned down very quiet, but in the studio Nick exclaimed it very loudly. Funny fact: Type O Negative already covered this Sabbath-track, but the Megadeth-version would finally make it to the tribute-album. Type O Negative then decided to cover the track "Black Sabbath (From The Satanic Perspective)" for that tribute-album. The Type O Negative version of "Paranoid" would appear on a special version of their album "The Origin Of The Feces".
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think that I'm insane because I'm frowning all the time [Verse 2] All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify [Chorus] Can you help me occupy my brain? Oh yeah Yeah, yeah [Verse 3] I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel so love to me is so unreal [Verse 5] And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late It's too late Too late [Outro] "Nick... Nick? Nick!" "Fuck me running!"
