Ministry - What About Us? lyrics
[Ministry - What About Us? lyrics]
Just like another speck of dust that's
On the highway of life
He Screams at anyone who'll listen that
The end is in sight
So then he circles the wagons or
He just circles then quit's
Cause the Highway could become
The final battling pit
So when the company wants
Another problem resolved
Or if the company wants a
Choice of nothing at all
Point your thumb out to the highway
Through the heat and the dust
And raise your finger in the
Middle till you shout:
"What About Us!"
Just like another last call
It means nothing at all
You either kiss a lot of ass
Or tear the clock off the wall
Another warning ignored another sign
Of the times they say the sky is gonna fall
So why not drink till you're blind
So when the company wants another company man
Or when the company wants another 1
000 year plan you'll let your boot go up the
Road you cannot possibly trust
Till the screaming hit's the
Ceiling and you ask:
"What About Us?" "What About Us?"
Don't follow my path to extinction
If I had a mind I'd leave it alone
We speak of alliteration
Can't even get on medication
Like a journey to the
Inside of carnal-fiction
Release yourself where the predator
Prays, rewind your mind
Freeze your world apart
Wage war on the eye which cannot see
Destroy the temple of emptiness
And what about them in the wake of damnation
And what about us? Do We come from God?"
Just like the old soft shoe or
The old song and dance
The only check that's in the
Mail is prob'ly already cashed
Are you a victim of chance? Is
This the way to succeed?
Or just a crack in the wall
Of what the people believe
So when the company wants
The final weapon online
When the company wants to repossess your mind
You gotta wonder if the fear
That we loathe or trust
Would ever waste a precious
Second trying to answer: What about us
Do We Come from God?
What about them (echos and fades out)
On the highway of life
He Screams at anyone who'll listen that
The end is in sight
So then he circles the wagons or
He just circles then quit's
Cause the Highway could become
The final battling pit
So when the company wants
Another problem resolved
Or if the company wants a
Choice of nothing at all
Point your thumb out to the highway
Through the heat and the dust
And raise your finger in the
Middle till you shout:
"What About Us!"
Just like another last call
It means nothing at all
You either kiss a lot of ass
Or tear the clock off the wall
Another warning ignored another sign
Of the times they say the sky is gonna fall
So why not drink till you're blind
So when the company wants another company man
Or when the company wants another 1
000 year plan you'll let your boot go up the
Road you cannot possibly trust
Till the screaming hit's the
Ceiling and you ask:
"What About Us?" "What About Us?"
Don't follow my path to extinction
If I had a mind I'd leave it alone
