Thieves Lyrics by Ministry

Greatest Fits

1989

[Verse 1]
Thieves, thieves and liars
Murderers
Hypocrites and bastards
In laughter (Get up!)

(Get up! Get on your feet!)

[Verse 2]
Hey, thanks for nothing
Morals in the dust
Two-faced bastards and sycophants
No trust

(We are fighting for the liberation of minds, not for the liberation of this pig, and racist society)

[Chorus]
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the mouth do you spread your decay?
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
You're like a great big fucking gun
Just waiting to get squeezed

(We're gonna rip this motherfucker off, we're gonna tear this motherfucker down)

(Get up!)

(Get up, get on your feet!)

[Verse 3]
Breathe, forfeit erection
Toxic load injection
Geriatric fuck-face
With syphilitic mind

(I hope they realize that this is their last goddamn chance)
(Kill him!)
(Kill, kill, kill)

[Chorus]
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Thieves, liar
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the mouth do you spread your decay?
Which side today? Which side today?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, no one knows
You're like a great big hit of acid
Waiting to be taken

(Power to the people)
(Power to the people)
(Police officer!)
(Kill, kill, kill!)
(You will not kill!)

[Outro]
(I want peace)
(Do you want peace?)
(I can't hear you!)
(I still can't hear you!)
