These Boots

These Boots
The album features the first of many covers performed by Megadeth: a speed metal version of Nancy Sinatra's classic "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", with lyrics altered by Mustaine. The song sparked controversy in later years when the song's original author, Lee Hazlewood, deemed Mustaine's changes to be "vile and offensive" and demanded that the song be removed from the album. Under threat of legal action, the song was removed from all pressings released after 1995. In 2002, the album was re-released with a modified version of the song; the altered lyrics were censored because Hazlewood has not given permission to the band to release the cover in its original version. In the liner notes of the album's reissue, Mustaine was strongly critical of Hazlewood, noting that he received royalties for almost 10 years before objecting to the altered version.

Lyrics
You keep saying you got something for me

Something you call love, but I call sex

You've been kissing when you ought-a-be-a

Screwing and now someone else can

Kiss your ass

These boots are made for walking

that's just what they'll do

And one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

You keep lying and there ain't no believing

And you keep stayin' when you ought-a-be-a leaving

Now what's right is right but you ain't been

Right yet

These boots

You keep dressin' ways you shouldn't

Be dressing

And you keep thinking that you'll never

Get burned ha!

I just found me a brand new Box Spring

Mattress

What you know bitch you got a lot ta learn

These boots, are you ready boots

And you think I'm kiddin', don'tchya!
