I remember Ministry being played on WLIR (New York) back in the 1980s. Like many back then we all thought they were from the UK - I mean they sounded British and who else could be this inventive with music. We had no Web to look things up.....everything was left to one's imagination.
This song describes exactly how it feels to work your ass off all day and not make what you deserve, all the while some manager or boss is drinking wine somewhere, living easy.
I don't get how people down early Ministry. Most don't even listen to it, but rather suck up to Al and kiss his ass by agreeing with him. I don't care what people think, I liked With Sympathy, and this song really kicks ass. Ministry is a land mark band. I would rather listen to this than the super fast overkilled speed guitars bullshit of their new music.
I believe that this song was used for PBR commercials... I went to my first Ministry concert in 1989 at the Vic Theater, expecting this sort of music. Got 'Thieves". Love it all
@asolisSS Hey, don't forget us chicks who haul ass and match or beat your weight! And he broke his ass without nothing to say so his boss compliments his offer all day!! UGH! We are in this together. This song is awesome and a tribute. You wanna lay with with me ...."was it heaven sent?">>>>>>love is just one transitional...XXXOOO
@alaina66, Hey, I am female. Must women be so damn update and not think that "man" can also include women as well, because "man" can be used as a general term to mean "mankind" which would include both sexes. No one has to say "man and woman" all the damn time to get a point across.
@AnthonyWW68 Hey lovey.if the CD you bought was the black fingernailed album 'Jut Sympathy" please post EVERY song from that precious album!! I so love it and wish to sing (very awfully"" the lyrics...thx a bunch lovey!!!
Ministry were truly a gift from the industrial gods, man!!!

Does anybody know where the military cadence calling comes from? I presume it is from a film, but I can't find anything about it on the web.
