MINISTRY LYRICS

1. Ghouldiggers

[Spoken:]
You know, they say it takes a whole pack of wolves to take down a moose 'cause one on one that moose would smack them down. It's like being in the music business: you got your managers, your ex-managers, your ex-bandmates, your ex-labels, your ex-wives, your lawyers, your tax attorneys... Hell! That sounds more like a pack of hyenas to me.

You know, I was once told by an ex-manager, "Son, you're worth more dead than alive 'cause when you're dead we can sell you off in pieces." That's the way it works around here.

You don't believe me? Why don't you try asking Jim Morrison Or Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin Or Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse. I'm pretty sure they're gonna take my side of the story. Sometimes I think they're the lucky ones. They don't have to deal with these douchebags 'cause they're already dead. But I'm not dead yet!

You vultures want me dead
What's up with that?
You make more money off the carcass that is dead
What's up with that?

I'm not dead yet [8x]

Ghouldiggers
Vultures and thieves
Ghouldiggers
Shrouded in their greed
Ghouldiggers
They're always after me
Ghouldiggers diggers diggers diggers diggers

You vultures strike it rich
What's up with that?
There's just one little hitch
I'm not dead yet
And that's a fact

I'm not dead yet [8x]

Ghouldiggers
Vultures and thieves
Ghouldiggers
Shrouded in their greed
Ghouldiggers
They're always after me
Ghouldiggers diggers diggers diggers diggers

[Spoken:]
— Hello, Ghouldigger management. Can I help you?
— Eh, yeah. I'd like to speak to my manager. Please.
— And you are...?
— My name's Al Jourgensen from the band Ministry and just wanna speak to my manager.
— Am, let me check and ... then. One moment, please. I ... hold.
— Dammit, they put me on hold again! What is wrong with these people? What is the major malfunction?

You never return my calls
What's up with that?
No word from you at all
What's up with that?

I'm not dead yet [8x]

Ghouldiggers
Vultures and thieves
Ghouldiggers
Shrouded in their greed
Ghouldiggers
They're always after me
Ghouldiggers diggers diggers diggers diggers

[Spoken:]
— Hello, Mr Jourgensen. I'm so sorry to keep you on hold. Ah, your manager is actually on a call at lunch at the meeting on vacation out of the country. However he did leave the message. He says to please call back after you're dead.
— No, you're kidding me?

2. Double Tap

It's like playing in a video game
High value target needs a bullet in his brain
Tired of the bullshit
Time he feels the pain
Time for retribution
Tired of his game

Double Tap

Ten fucking years of trying to track this guy around
We always knew Pakistan is where he'd be found
All's we need's the go-ahead and he goes down
Double tab to the head then he gets drowned

Double Tap

That Bin Laden's gotta go
Code name Geronimo!

Double Tap

3. Freefall

I pissed my life away
Swimming in my habits
I was in over my head
I kissed away any type of normal life
For this instead

Help Help Help
No No No

I pissed away over ten million dollars
On dope and crack
I passed away deader than a door knob
But now I'm back

Help Help Help
No No No

I'm in FreeFall

I pound away at social injustice
It doesn't make a bit of difference
So I get wasted every single day
It's my only deliverance

Help Help Help
No No No

I'm in FreeFall

Just call your dealer
He's probably home
Just call him now

4. Kleptocracy

No conscience
No soul
Let's lock and load

Kleptocracy

It's a matter of rights
How do you sleep at night?
It's time for us to fight

Kleptocracy
Fuck You
Kleptocracy
What have you done for me?
Kleptocracy
Fuck You
Kleptocracy
Avarice and greed

Kleptocracy

We don't want treason
We just want reason
This is the season

Kleptocracy
Fuck You
Kleptocracy
What have you done for me?
Kleptocracy
Fuck You
Kleptocracy
Avarice and greed

5. United Forces

[originally by S.O.D.]

It doesn't matter how you wear your hair
It's what's inside your head
United Forces stand for all strong far
Black, white and yellow and red

[Chorus:]
UNITED Forces, UNITED Forces, UNITED Forces
UNITED Forces, UNITED Forces, UNITED Forces

Skinheads and bangers and punks stand as one
Crossover to a final scene
United Forces and their job won't be some
Until the world can see

[Chorus (2x):]
No rednecks, no jocks, no macho hell shit attitudes
United Forces can't be stopped

6. 99 Percenter

[Chorus]
99 Percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
Hey hey

Cause enough is enough

[Chorus]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!

Let's occupy Wall Street
Let's occupy Oakland
Let's occupy Chicago
Let's occupy London

How much do people need?
They have to lie and cheat?
But the 99 percenters will not be beat

[Chorus]
99 Percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 99 percenters!
Hey hey

7. Relapse

I'm waiting for the end of days
I think I'm good but I just might stay
But I'm too wasted to care
And if I go well fair is fair

I'm headed for a relapse

I'm waiting for the apocalypse in 2012
But I'm so wasted
I'll see you all in hell

I relapse you laugh
I feel it coming
A total collapse

Well surgeons cut to heel you
Axe murders cut to kill you
Well I'm filthy rich and I'm horny
But you just fucking bore me

I relapse you laugh
I feel it coming
A total collapse

I just bitch and moan about all my groans

I'm headed for a relapse

Well I love life to death
But I also love crystal meth
But those two don't usually get along
And a lot of people think that's wrong

I relapse you laugh
I feel it coming
A total collapse

8. Weekend Warrior

Now don't even get me started on Monday
And Tuesday, that went straight to my head
Wednesday. Really? Oh go fuck yourself
And Thursday I'll be in bed

Because Friday here I come
Always your most loyal son
And I've got vengeance written in my eyes
So fill me up, hey where's the wine?
Yo pass the pipe, I need a light

Because I'm a weekend warrior
I'm a weekend warrior

Now Friday night was no surprise
And I hit Saturday in perfect stride
Then Sunday comes with no regrets
It's time to dry out
Oh you wanna bet?
The weekend isn't over yet

Because I'm a weekend warrior
I'm a weekend warrior

I know you hate to love to see me this way
You wanna be there when I need to be saved
But when tomorrow turns out just like today
You'll wish you never let me out of my cage

Oh bitch you're gonna fucking pay

Monday?
Oh God not again
You said you'd always be my friend
But I'm left standing here all by myself
So take me now if you wanna help

Because they've got hatred written in their eyes
And you know that really comes to my surprise
Ah fuck it because in five days I'm gonna settle the score
Just fill me up the give me more
Give me more

Because I'm a weekend warrior
I'm a weekend warrior

9. Git Up Get Out 'n Vote

Suffragette City isn't all that pretty
If it doesn't end up on a happy note
So make sure you register again
Our country's gone insane
Get up, get out and vote

Look into my eyes
Don't you realize?
Millions died for us to exercise
We can't end up in the same old boat
Life and liberty
Get up, get out and vote

Get up, get out and vote
Get up, get out and vote

The rockets' red glare
Something's rotten in the air
Equality is more than just a quote
So much apathy in the land of the free
Get up, get out and vote

Get up, get out and vote

10. Bloodlust

I want blood because I'm vicious
I want your soul
I wanna own your thought
I want power
I want money
I got needs and nothing can't be bought

Greed and arrogance
Justice not in evidence

Bloodlust

I hate love
There's no profit
I'm up above and like what I see
You got a job
You make nothing
You got it all but there's more to feed

Greed and arrogance
Justice not in evidence

Bloodlust

I want blood
Delicious
I want your wallet
And everything you've got
I lost my mind
I lost my sould
I lost everything that I don't control

Greed and arrogance
Justice not in evidence

Bloodlust

11. Relapse (Defibrillator Mix)
