Kapela Ministry vznikla v roce 1981 v Chicagu. Založil ji Al Jourghensen . Syntetický pop kapely se koncem 80.let mění na tehdy neznámý industrial metal. Velkou měrou se o to přičinil Paul Barker, který přišel do Ministry z kapely Blackouts...

The Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Taste
yo! this is a test 


you say this when i say that 
you say this when i say that 
you say this when i say that 
you say this when i say that 
but i'm not with that 
so step back or kiss my... 
cos i won't be held back 
so don't fight or dis' or piss me off 
cos i'm not soft or weak 
running down in the maze of the day 
this is a new phase 
don't be commercial or sell out 
or get the hell out of this business 
but i won't be caught in that net of suckers 
and glass people, weak, beaten down and feeble 
society probably wants me to give up 
society probably wants me to give up 
as i live up to be my best 
in a test 
a fight for death 
as i fight for my very last breath 
and etc. 
and etc. 
gotta be strong 
but wait a minute 
now could i be better? 
now could i be better? 
well, only i know 
well, what about you? 
or do you have a clue? 
could've, would've, should've - it's too late 
could've, would've, should've - it's too late 
why you waiting, laying, sit there? move! 
be your own person! 


wake up, make up your mind 
seek the knowledge that you will find 
be your own person 
wait for it from the weak 
cos they make the people level 
and with you make a team 
so believe, and be your best 
cos this is a test 
go for the top chart 
rock with all your heart 
rock-hard, stay up, go 
deal with what's going on 
in this crazy world 
man woman child boy girl 
insane to the playing 
love music power pain 
be what you gotta do 
get the knowing attitude 
cos this is a test 
that we suggest 
be your own person! 
cos this is a test! 
this is... a test! 


cos we all know who is the real victim 
society does not want them picked on 
labelled or staked, don't raise his guilt, 
don't miss your boot and kicked him 
faceless in the morning in their urban plight 
felt like a symbol with every situation 
any one tour already overcrowded 
project nation, more inflation 
better your damn situation 
but how can you better your situation 
if you have no occupation? 
ten of us said, watch the rolodex center 
see how many different schools you can enter 
they're out turning in the pit, but life's a bitch 
the world's unconcerned 
i'll tell you why it's stuck in a ditch 
you own the key to the damn city 
but it's a damn pity
