Ministry - Should Have Known Better Lyrics






So many years I just suffered through the tears
Knowing one day I'd wake up wishing I had never met her
But as the time goes by my hope keeping playing every day
As I laugh to myself, 'I just should have known better'

There's no more laughter as I think about the other girl
It's a slap in my face as I'm opening her letter
She's doing fine now with two kids and another man
As I cry out loud, 'I just should have known better'

She was the reason I was living every day
I would ride upon a white horse in my quest to try and find
Her
But now it's too late, I don't care if I die tonight
Cos a voice keeps ringing in my heart, 'I should have known
Better'

I learned my lesson this time
Lonliness and a broken heart
Should've known right from the start

"STIGMATA" was written in 1981 , and 1981 version of "STIGMATA" was many much loud and and aggressive, than light 1988 "LORAH" version of"STIGMATA" , I have a proof ! I have a 1982 video of "STIGMATA", where"STIGMATA" sounds in death metal/grindcore genre ! It was 1982 show ! I have a footage!!!!!!!! If Al sang "STIGMATA" in grindcore style back in 1982 , he can sing "SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER " In Italodisco/bossanova style!!! Okay? Hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    R.... L....

    yep me too

  9. R.... H....

    Story of my life

    R.... H....

    Randy Herrera same here

  10. R.... H....

    so weird of this band to change so radically...

    R.... H....

    Randy Herrera drugs??

    R.... H....

    Oo, Alam ko!

  11. M.... A....

    2:20 :D!!!!

  12. F.... T....

    A fantastic album. A truly gem of it's time.

  13. S.... ....

    Al has done a wonderful job throughout his career experimenting and growing the industry. Like With Sympathy though... Twitch I thought was the ultimate album, follow by The Land of Rape and Honey. With Sympathy for me follow right after The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste in terms of quality... Mind you Animosity was very Twitch-like, and Houses of the Mole, was simply an awesome politically charged album with a ton of commentary on the state of the world.

  14. R.... M....

    Reminds me of when I drove to Dallas from Boston.Played this album the whole way and the two months I stayed there and back.

  15. d.... ....

    This reminds me of Pantera before they became Groove Metal!!!!!

    d.... ....

    definitely not the same thing! maybe if you compare, let's say, Taking My Life and Strength Beyond Strenth there is a world, but compare Pantera's 80s songs Project In The Jungle, Out For Blood, Killers, Onward We Rock, Down Below, Valhalla, I Am The Night, Death Trap, Over And Out or Power Metal with their 90s stuff, there isn't a great difference, the 80s songs that I mentioned had nothing glam in them and were already groove/thrash-coloured heavy metal, heavily influenced by Judas Priest, Van Halen, and after 1985 also Megadeth! Ministry changed almost everything, there isn't anything in common between With Sympathy and Land Of Rape And Honey, and even the gap between With Sympathy and Twitch is huge

    d.... ....

    difference is both versions of Ministry were great, while both versions of Pantera sucked (though their hair metal phase sucked a bit less)

  16. M.... P....

    I'm guessing "I Wanted to Tell Her" and "Work for Love". Those are my top 3. This record still stands out in the endless sea of Synth Pop records.

  17. K.... K....

    this producer new what was up. I don'tdig the whole angry shit.I guess i'm getting old

  18. F.... ....

    WTF with people saying "Fuck Al, old Ministry kick ass, new Minstry is shit"
    A band evolve, and Ministry have created an entire musical genre with their later albums, what do you want more ?
    If you prefer old albums, then stick to them, but really this kind of argument "old versus new Ministry" is so lame !
    By the way I love With Sympathy, I love Psalm69, and love The Last Sucker.

  19. M.... ....

    fuck you Al,this is way better than ur new dumb shit

    M.... ....

    You know I mixed a lot of ministry shows. And I totally I agree what a douche bag for fucking dissing this music

  20. a.... ....

    I LOVE this and have it on vinyl and CD. Wanna buy it? Just let me know.

    a.... ....

    if you LOVE it, why are you selling it?
    and no thanks, this is crap

  21. H.... ....

    So did Al get his heart broken then went from this to screaming industrial man?

  22. K.... V....

    @pseudoscope It's Linndrum!

  23. a.... s....
