Test - Ministry

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 et cetera

And et cetera

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
