It had a subtitle of, "...and Business Is Good."

It was mostly a jab at the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex. The bands name itself is a homage to having to live under constant nuclear threat. Hence their name "Megadeath", which is a riff on the term "Megadeath".

Definition: one million deaths -- usually used as a unit in reference to nuclear warfare.

If the best part of my life was deciding "Debbie Gibson or Tiffany" then I've got nothing left to look forward to.  :-\

I think you're reading too much into it, it's actually megaDETH.  I think Dave Mustaine just thought up the first cool sounding thing that came to his mind after he got fired from Metallica.  However, I wish I had your definition when I was a young cool-guy like shmokes.  That would have been a better answer than "huhhh huh huh huuuuh huh... they said deth  huh huh huuuh"  8)
ChadTower:

If you look closely at the average lyrical content of a Megadeth song, that answer does make sense.

Countdown to Extinction is pretty much all about war and abuse of power.

Sweating Bullets is still one of my very favorite songs, right along with Symphony of Destruction.
