I've got two songs that I misheard the lyrics to. One is Anthrax's "Belly of the Beast". When the singer sings "You shovel your conscience into the grave", I believed for the longest time that he was singing "You show your prostitute to the grave". (??)
The other one is Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction".
Real lyrics:"Dance like marionettes, swing to the Symphony of Destruction."
Misheard Lyrics: "Dance like a million ants, sing to the symphony of destruction." [:) I was weird.
