About[]
Dave Mustaine wrote it, with the title "The Mechanix", while in his pre-Metallica band Panic.
"The Mechanix" appears on several pre-Kill 'Em All Metallica demos. Metallica later reworked this song into the song "The Four Horsemen", which appeared on Kill 'Em All. It has different lyrics than the original song.
Megadeth then recorded the original song as "Mechanix" (dropping the word "the" from the title), but at a faster pace and a few other changes. It is closer to the original than "The Four Horsemen" is.

Imagine you were at my station And you brought your motor to me Your a burner yeah a real motor car Said you wanna get your order filled Made me shiver when I put it in Pumping just won't do ya know luckily for you Who ever though you'd be better At turning a screw than me I do it for my life Made my drive shaft crank Made my pistons bulge Made my ball bearings melt from the heat We were shifting hard when we took off Put tonight all four on the floor When we hit top end ya know it feels too slow Said you wanna get your order filled And ya know it's more than enough Oh one more time ya know I'm in love Who ever though you'd be better At turning a screw than me I do it for my life Made my drive shaft crank Made my pistons bulge Made my ball bearings melt from the heat I'm giving you my room service And you know it's more than enough Oh one more time ya know I'm in love Said you wanna get your order filled Made me shiver when I put it in Pumping just won't do ya know luckily for you Who ever though you'd be better At turning a screw than me I do it for my life Made my drive shaft crank Made my pistons bulge Made my ball bearings melt from the heat
