Ministry - Psalm 69 Album Lyrics



Ministry - Psalm 69 Lyrics






N.W.O.

I'm in love without the tears of regret
Open fire cos I love it 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 toys if you can pay for the rent
Flying high with the public in hand
I'm in love with the promised land

I'm in love with a malicious intent
You've been taken but you don't know it yet
A truer love has never yet to be found
I see the sunset through the eyes of a clown

Just One Fix

Never trust a junkie

Blood keeps drifting your way
Certain of its destination
Driving through New Orleans at night
Gotta find a destination

Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix
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
Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix

Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix
Just one fix
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 (just one fix)
Just one fix (just one fix)
Just one fix (just one fix)
Just one fix (just one fix)

Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)
Just one fix (one fix, one fix)

TV II

Tell me something I don't know
Show me something I can't use
Push the button, connect the goddamned dots

Live-in thief in my bedroom bathroom
Commodity sodomy glass autonomy
Promise everything take it all away
Give it a rest

You're lying through your teeth
You're lying through your teeth

Who, what, which, why, who
When did you say the earth would stop turning?

When did you say we would all start burning?
When should I make a pledge?
Should I listen to the voices in my head?

Connect the goddamned dots
Connect the goddamned dots
Connect the goddamned dots

Who am I trying to impress?
Who could care less?

Tell me something I don't know

Hero

They get you ready to fight
The fuse is ready to blow
You shoot to kill on sight
They call you G.I. Joe
You never wanted to stop
The smell of burning flesh
The hero marches alone
Across the highway of death

Hero
Hero
Hero
Hero

It's not a matter of rights
It's just a matter of war
Don't have a reason to fight
They never had one before
You're just a killing machine
He's come to take you down
We take the gas that we need
And pump the blood on the ground

Hero
Hero
Hero
Hero

They're gonna set you up
So they can take you down
They're gonna suck you dry
They've left the blood to be found
They're gonna rip you apart
You're gonna burn at the stake
-Cause when it's time to collect
It's only heroes who pay

Hero

Jesus Built My Hotrod

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

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

And hold my world around

Scarecrow

Staring in the face of condemnation
Laughter fills the sky instead of rain

Live my life alone in resignation
Arms outstretched for those who cannot say

Scarecrow

Crucified and left in isolation
Pictures of our lost morality

Scarecrow

Eyeless stares invite this whole damnation
Rotting corpse of inhumanity

Scarecrow

Psalm 69

"Congregation, please be seated and open your
Prayer guides to the book of Revelation
Psalm 69"

69! 69! 69! 69! 69! 69! 69! 69! 69!

"I feel like my heart is being touched by Christ."

"Liar!"
"Blaphemer!"
"Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!"

And now
It's time for us
To give a little love back to God!

MLEH!

Drinking the blood of Jesus
Drinking it right from his veins
Learning to swim in the ocean
Learning to prowl in his name

The body of Christ looked unto me
A preacher with [gunk in his hand]**
He wants you to suck on the Holy Ghost
And swallow the sins of man

"There he is!"
Liar! Liar!

Amen!
He's a liar! A liar!
Amen!

Psalm 69

"Praise God!"

"I feel like my heart is being touched by Christ."

"Liar!"
"Blaphemer!"
"Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!"

The invisible piss of the Holy Ghost
Comes down like acid rain
They're making a bonnet of terminal guilt
The scavengers go on parade

The fathers who write that eternity
Is used to fight the sword
Have filled you up with the devil's cock
And he'll come in the name of the Lord

Traitor!
He's a liar! A liar!
Amen!
Amen!

Liar!... Liar!
Liar!... Liar!
Liar!

"Goddamn preacher!"

[Laughter]
The way to succeed and the way to suck eggs
Stop it!

ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ (commonly known as Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs or simply Psalm 69) is the fifth studio album by American industrial metal band Ministry, released on July 14, 1992, by Sire Records. It was produced by frontman Al Jourgensen and bassist Paul Barker, and was recorded from March 1991 to May 1992 in Chicago, Illinois and Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The album's title, initially intended to be The Tapes of Wrath, ended up being derived from Aleister Crowley's The Book of Lies.

Psalm 69 features elements of speed metal, rockabilly, and psychobilly, with lyrics exploring social, political, and religious topics. With much anticipation following the success of Ministry's previous album The Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Taste (1989), pressures on the band were said to be high, in addition to the growing substance abuse of several members and worsening relationships between them. It was also the first time Mike Scaccia had been significantly involved in a Ministry album, after appearing on tours in support of The Mind....

Preceded by lead single "Jesus Built My Hotrod", Psalm 69 was a critical and commercial success upon its release, peaking at number 27 on the US Billboard 200 and number 33 on the UK Albums Chart. It was supported by two more singles: "N.W.O." and "Just One Fix", with accompanying music videos directed by Peter Christopherson. Psalm 69 is considered to be Ministry's most successful album, having been certified gold in Canada and Australia, and platinum in the US. Following its release, Ministry joined the second annual Lollapalooza tour before commencing a tour through Europe and the US; "N.W.O.", "Just One Fix", and the title track have become permanent features of the band's live setlist. "N.W.O." was nominated for the Best Metal Performance at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards.
