Ministry - Test Lyrics

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
'cause I won't be held back
So don't fight, dis? or piss me off
'cause 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
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
Be your own person
Be your own person
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
'cause they make the people level
And with you, make a team
So believe and be your best
'cause this is a test

Go for the top chart, rock with all your heart
Non- stop, 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 'cause this is the test
That we suggest

Be your own person
Be your own person
Be your own person
Be your own person

'cause this is a test
'cause this is, this is, this is, this is, this is
This is, this is a test, test, test, test, test, test
Test, test, test

'cause we all know who is the real victim
Society does not want them picked on
Labeled or staked, don't raise his guilt
But don't miss your boot and kick them

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 stuck in a ditch
You own the key to the damn city but it?s a damn pity

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
