Captive Honour Lyrics
Madness comes, and madness goes
An insane place, with insane moves
Battles without, for battles within
Where evil lives and evil rules
Breaking them up, just breaking them in
Quickest way out, quickest relief wins
Never disclose, never betray
Cease to speak or cease to breathe
And when you kill a man, you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all...Ooh...Oh you're a god!
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Have you reached a verdict?
Yes, we have Your Honour, we find the defendant guilty!
On all counts for crimes against all humanity.
By virtue of the jury's decision and the power
Vested in me by the state I hereby sentence you to be
Incarcerated with no possibility of parole for life
Life?...Whadda ya mean life?...I ain't got a life
Boy!...Your soul better belong to Jesus!...
Hmmm-mmm cause your ass belongs to me!
Chorus
Captive honour, ain't no honour
No time for questions
No time for the games
Start kicking ass
And taking down the names
A long shit list
A shorter fuse
He is untouchable
And guarantees you'll lose
Chorus
Solo - Dave
Inside the bighouse
His nightmare unfolds
Before he got there
His manpussy was sold
Black blanket welcome
This tough guy's now a bitch
Praying for death
It can't be worse than this
Chorus
Solo - Dave
Solo - Marty
Chorus
Does anyone know who says the lines
"Boy!...Your soul better belong to Jesus!... Hmmm-mmm cause your ass belongs to me!"

Nice rocking song. Best line in song "His manpussy was sold" with Dave's growl, hilarious!
Definitely about the state of America's prisons. Dave's commentary about rape being part of being in prison is worthwhile including because it is a reality. However, it is not part of the sentence, like it might be in some other less free countries. Never heard a prison sentence stated by a judge in which the accused is sentenced to "repeated rape and life without parole". Rape in our prisons is one of great shames of our prison system. Not sure if Dave is implicitly criticising it, approving of it, or just commenting about the current state of affairs.

This song is about the state of modern prisions.
This song rocks, I love how it starts slow then rocks harder as it comes to the end. I also like how he talks with the judge during the song. This is one of megadeths greats!
kill them all an ooh.. youre a god... i love this song!!
This song is about the anal penetration going on in todays prison system.
Ray Charles did it.
This song deserves more comments. IT KICKS ASS. The riff after "With no possibility of parole, for life" is one of Megadeth's best.
OK,
Off the cuff as I recall. This is about a criminal, French guy in a prison in France???? Basically he wasted his life for his crime. It is no honor to be in prison, it is no honor to be a captive. So grow a brain and don’t be a cult follower of some dip shit criminal. It is not an honor to rot in jail for a crime.
