Ministry Album

big size, small size
any size, round and round
we need, we take
burn it all to the ground
started over and learned to walk
we teach you how to talk
please try and understand
we're helping all mankind
we use them a while then it's over the shoulder
we use them a while then it's over the shoulder

we are serious
o, serious
dollar here, dollar there
dollars flying everywhere
we're only here to please
stop the killing, trust me
we'll only be a while
big while, big big smile
we use them a while then it's over the shoulder
we use them a while then it's over the shoulder

we have in our hands
every woman and every man
things are gonna go far
down a real big fast car
and what you see is what you get
keep 'em hungry, you bet
you need security
to keep you from the enemy
we use them a while then it's over the shoulder
we use them a while then it's over the shoulder

Nice place
Clean water
Fresh air
Blue skies
Like pirates
We tried it
We took what we deserved
Half million
Years later
We'd used up
Our reserves
We're crying
'What happened?'
We get what we deserve
We get what we deserve
We get instead the isle of man
The isle of man

I've wandered
Through forests
With our garbage
Waist-high
Can't clean it
I mean it
We get what we deserve
Rainy mornings
Dry evenings
It's growing
On my nerves
Just gases
You fascists
You get what you deserve
You get what you deserve
You get instead the isle of man
The isle of man

I'm writing
This letter
So no one
Will forget
Some future
Cave dweller
Will find these notes an isle of man

[No lyrics]

Stronger than reason
Stronger than lies
The only truth I know
Is the look in your eyes
... The look in your eyes

Just like a car crash
Just like a knife
My favorite weapon
Is the look in your eyes
You've run out of lies

You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
There's a ton locked in your empty eyes
Get out of my life

I'm chewing on glass
And eating my fingers
I'm not the one
Who's run out of lies
Lies

You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of lies
You've run out of time

Cutting my face
And walking on splinters
I lost my soul
To the look in your eyes
Your eyes

You ran out of lies
You ran out of lies
You ran out of lies
You ran out of time

Stigmata

Oh, you have empty eyes, yes
Oh, you have empty eyes, yes
Oh, you have empty eyes, yes
Oh, you have empty eyes, yes
Oh, you have empty eyes, yes
Oh, you have empty eyes, yes
Oh, you have empty eyes,
They tell me nothing, nothing but lies, yes
Yes

red hand takes a purple terror
love knows these nuts
when we escape from the madhouse
we will... hunt down

tonight we murder

between the battle of pain and hate
we will wait, but not for our time
we'll for hate and to take
to deep... throat

tonight
tonight we murder

between the pain, the battle of pain
love never ties knots
a twisted plan of fear and hate
we'll never untie these nuts

tonight we murder

I murder
tonight we murder

Will these dreams still follow me
Out of dark obscurity?
Can't you see it up in the sky
As it kicks you in the face and sucks you dry
You never had the answers
And now you tell me the facts of life
I really couldn't be bothered with you
Get out of my face and watch me die
Burning inside! Burning inside!

Absolution and a frozen room
Are the dreams of men below
I try to grab it but the touch is hot
The mirror collapses, but the image can not
I'm scared of the darkness and light
I scare myself because i know i'm right
I see the evil in your savage eye
As it cuts right through the sky
Burning inside! burning inside!

Calling a mantra with a blade in the skin
For the demons within
I feel the pain is the death and decay
But the lesson never fades away
Turning to shadows, turn them away
You throw the man through the window pane
Another slave and a victim of fate
Another lesson in hate
Burning inside! Burning inside!

Thieves, thieves and liars, murderers
Hypocrites and bastards
in laughter (get up!)

(get up! get on your feet!)
Hey thanks for nothing!
Morals in the dust
2-faced bastards and sycophants
No trust


(We are fighting for the liberation of minds, not for the liberation of this pig, and racist society)
Thieves! liar!
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know

Your like a great big fucking gun,
Just waiting to get squeezed!

(We're gonna rip this muthafucker off, we're gonna tear this muthafucker down)
(get up!)

(Get up, get on your feet!)
Breathe, forfeit erection!
Toxical injection
Geriatric fuck-fest
We still believe in lies
(I hope they realize that this is their last goddamn chance)
(Kill him!)

Thieves! liar!
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Who started it? who started it?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, no one knows

Your like a great big hit of acid,
Waiting to be taken!

(Power to the people)
(Police Officer!)
(you will not kill!)
(I want peace)
(do you want peace?)
(I can't hear you!)
(I still can't hear you!)

Withered rope you hang what's empty can't remain to put it simply
In time cry the hollow words to sing with false disguise
Smothered hope fly from sorrow for a new divine tomorrow
I just don't want to know anymore
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong
Why don't you care?
Life shifts up down wrong
Now do it seem fair?
Life shifts up down wrong
It's not in the rhyme or reason
So it goes with every season crawl to top fall through bottom
First hand love is really rotten
Slice of life find what's plenty inch towards a sanctuary
Light with me inside the womb
I know everyone everybody knows it's me
It's my voice, my voice cries out obscenity
Sightless eye regard my past sometimes it should
I just don't want to know anymore.
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Ding dang a dong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Everytime I try to do it all now baby
Am I on the run
Why why why why why baby
If its so evil then?
Give me my time, with all my power
Give it to me all again (wow)
Ding a ding a dang a dong dong ding dong
Every where I go

Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?

Ding ding donga dong dong ding dong
Dingy dingy son of a gun
Half my time I tell you baby
Never am I all for sure
Why why why why why baby
Sicky sicky from within
Everytime I stick my finger on in ya
Youre a wild wild little town bitch
Now how bout ding a dang dong dong dong ling long
Dingy a dingy dong a down

Everytime you tell me baby
When I settle down
Got to get me a trailer park
And hold my world around
Why why why why?

In my dang a ding a ding a ding dong
A sticky sticky son of a gun
Ding a danga danga dong dong ding dong

The memory is on the bed

If my time was all as is yours
Make me burn a wish
When my time with you is brutish

Why why why why why why baby heavy hell
Alone and its here its this thunder
The thunder oh thunder
Oh!

Jesus built my car
Its a love affair
Mainly Jesus and my hot rod

Yeah, fuck it!

All the locals hide their tears of regret
Open fire cos I love you to death
Sky high, with a heartache of stone
You'll never see me cos i'm always alone

How to love without a trace of dissent
I'll buy the torture cos you pay for the rent
Tied high with a broken command
You're all alone to the promised land

I'm in love with this malicious intent
You've been taken but you don't know it yet
What you will know must never live to be found
Cos it's the subject of the eyes of the drowned

[No lyrics]

blood keeps drinking away
certain of its destination
driving through new orleans at night
gotta find a destination

just one fix

life keeps slipping away
fighting in a war with damnation
poised, keep cutting away
i'm looking in through to salvation

just one fix

like if i boarded a train
trying to take in another station
join us and the choice will be made
unless we kill the lie as a nation

just one fix

Put it country simple,
Earth has a lot of things other folks might want,
like the whole planet.
And maybe these folks would like a few changes made,
Like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,
and room for their way of life.
We've seen this happen before,
right in these United States.
Your way of life destroyed the Indian's way of life,
The Indian Reservation is extinction.
But I offer this distinction
I'm with the invaders,
no use trying to hide that.
And at the same time I disagree
with some of the things they are doing.
Oh, we're not united any more than you are.
Oh, we're not united any more than you are.

Conservative faction is set on nuclear war
as a solution to the Indian personality.

Others disagree

I don't claim my motives are 100% humane,
but I do say if we can't think up anything quieter,
and tidier, than that, we aren't all that much
better than you new earth aches.

There is no place else to go,
The theater is closed.

There is no place else to go,
The theater is closed.

Cut word lines, cut music lines,
smash the control images,
smash the control machine.
