Ministry - Everyday is Halloween

Yeah it's me again, reuploading it since my account was deleted.

well I live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the night
cos to me everyday is halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say 'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene!'

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

well I let their teeny minds think
that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
and I dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos halloween is everyday
it's everyday

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
I'm not the one that's so absurd

why hide it?
why fight it?
hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it's the same it's the same in the whole wide world

I knew a guy who was in the DJ booth at a club in town at an after-Ministry party in the mid-90's. So his story went, Al and a few people showed up. But when the DJ played this Al came up to the DJ booth, grabbed the record, snapped it in half and said "Don't ever play this fuckin' song again!"

That was the guy's story, who knows if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me, I've heard he doesn't like his early stuff. Dunno why, songs like "Revenge" are great.

There has been similar stories of him breaking a vinyl of 'With Sympathy' that I heard about 10 years ago....Who knows if they are true, but that's not the first time I've heard a story like that involving.

[scorchedearthdj]

I know that Al really didn't like With Sympathy. If I recall correctly, he described that album as 'an abortion.'

[LivinWorstNightmare]

He says that now but he must have liked it to record the album. He's a bullshit artist when he says that stuff. Go back and listen to the original shows before Ministry was even signed that I have uploaded. The Chicago and Detroit shows clearly show that With Sympathy was the stuff he was writing and singing before he was even signed. His last albums are what I call an abortion.

FUNKY FRESH

you people suck.

[Majeur Hernandez]

You are so right. This music made him. He loved it and toured west Texas in the 80s with Doggy Style and GBH. They rocked it, but oh well he left us with the good old stuff. I never liked his new stuff.. sounded fake. It just wasn't him but I guess he enjoyed it. I LOVE HIS ORIGINAL WORK... that was who he was!

[BadReligionTina]

Oh my how I love this track, direct goth subculture reference!! Thanks Uncle Al! :-)

[Matthew Verkamp]

Al may not have liked "With Sympathy" but I absolutely love their early sound!

[luchito raizberg]

ministry everyday , in my speaker ,

[kkees2006]

The thing is...his music is/was a reflection of where he was at the time he made it. Did you stop to think maybe, just maybe he thought he had peaked with his earlier stuff and never wants to reminded of his brilliance.

[Kathryn Dawson]

I love older music. I dig stuff like Ministry, The Cure, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Joan Jett, Ect. My generation's music sucks ass. BABY BABY OHHH I, shut the fuck up beiber.

[Thomas Scofield]

H is a deviant mistress... I like this track no matter what!!!

[Sean Michael]

its tru he breaks that record and says never play that again. whipped it at the wall when i was there. then he signed some things for us but would not until he broke that record. Love him hate him cut or no cunt some amazing tracks to grow old with.
