Ministry - Thieves Lyrics






Thieves, thieves and liars, murderers
Hypocrites and bastards [in laughter]

Hey thanks for nothing!
Morals in the dust
Two-faced bastards and syncophants
No trust

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

You're like a great big fucking gun,
Just waiting to get squeezed!

Breathe, forfeit erection!
Toxical injection
Geriatric fuck-fest
We still believe in lies

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

You're like a great big hit of acid,
Waiting to be taken!

    Aw yeah. Early (circa) 1990s, Melbourne, FL. The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste Tour was somethin' special for all of us WFIT DJs/students. Best stage diving I witnessed EVER--one was l'il Gregory S. climbing up the chain link fence ~15+ ft' and spread-eagle back diving into the crowd (who thankfully caught him). I think when they played 'Breathe' all the senior citizens next door thought the song was for them.

    I remember I was in hot topic and for what ever god forsaken reason they had a ministry t shirt of mind is a terrible thing to waste in the bargain bin for 11$, man I never bought something so quick, absolutely no one at school knew who they were none of my friends, but oddly enough they were one of my band teachers favorite bands and she saw my shirt and was so happy.

  40. S.... S....

  42. M.... A....

    Saw Ministry, Deftones and Zombie together in '96. Deftones only played 2 songs and made Zombie look like shit. Ministry blew the fucking roof off the place. First time I did coke. 15 years old, coked out of my head ... throwing punches like a motherfucker with all the grown men. Event staff trying to pull me out for my own good. Lost a tooth that night and we superglued my head. Hahahahaha. Jesus Zombie sucked that night.
