Boring as fuck, and where did they find that lyric sheet? on google it seems.
That was absolute crap.
And it’s one of my pet peeves regarding cover songs in general. I really like when a band will cover someone else’s tune and give it their own twist (Ministry was actually GREAT at this . . . . well, back in the day, at least).
But too many bands just cover someone else’s, and serve up the same dish but without the magic that made it work the first time. This version sounds like they recorded it on a Playstation or something. I didn’t get far enough in to compare the lyrics, but I’m sure they’re laughable.
From the youtube page for this song
Blood keeps drinking away
Certain of it’s destination
Driving through new orleans at night
Gotta find a destination
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
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
and from prongs/org/ministry
Life keeps slipping away
Silence of desperation
Trying to find a highway in vein
Trying to find a destination
Just One Fix
Clock keeps ticking away
Banging on the walls of frustration
Organs keep grinding away
Monkey is the only solution
Just One Fix
Monkey starts driving the train
Tries to take out the station
Tried to find a highway in vein
Monkey kills without hesitation
Just One Fix
so then i did a google search and most of the lyrics now type sites have the same wrong lyrics in them. i put an infinite more amount of stock in what afra has collected here.
Heard about this one a while back, but havent heard it yet, not to mention but Sepo, i.e.era sans Max, has always kind of lacked originality.
FKKKK…that shiat. The gtr tone and double bass shiat just turned it into a mesh of your typical backyard metal band playing at your local keg party. Ministry before they went straight metal to me …always sneered at that sound!
ahh snaps.
New Orelans, lulz
I love HOW different they are. It’s not just a word or two, it’s like pretty much every line of the entire song.
proof that Max needs Sepultura, more than Sepultura need Max
Some of the comments on the youtube vid… oh dear.
I mean, you compare that shit to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep19aQWtBeI
Chaos AD. Fuck yeah.
And as for the Ministry lyrics… I didn’t even realise those were the correct lyrics. Always thought it was ‘time keeps ticking away… etc’. I’m amazed they got the lyrics as wrong as they did, though. Shithouse.
The lyrics to NWO were also off for years, too, until Al corrected us.
I still wish he sent us stuff for Dark Side, though…
Jeez, while that certainly wasn’t that great and the lyrics were especially corny I don’t think it was that terrible either.
I mean sonically it’s WAY better than anything off of The Last Sucker.
