MINISTRY : SO WHAT (1989)

Δεν είναι τραγούδι. Είναι σεμινάριο χρήσης προηχογραφημένων ήχων (samples) όχι ως εφέ, αλλά ως δομικών στοιχείων μιας σύνθεσης. Είναι, επίσης, από κάθε άποψη, ένα από τα αριστουργήματα των Ministry. Από το μεγαλειώδες The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989) – άλμπουμ που καθόρισε τον ήχο της επόμενης δεκαετίας, και πέρα από αυτήν.

This is not a song. It is a seminar on the use of pre-recorded sounds (samples) not as effects, but as structural elements of a composition. It is also, in every respect, one of Ministry’s masterpieces. From the magnificent The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989) – an album that defined the sound of the next decade and beyond.

“You have had all that money can give you but that wasn’t enough
You became a thrill-seeker
(Thrill-seeker, thrill-seeker, thrill-seeker thrill-seeker)
Kill for a thrill (assassin)
This thrill-seeking became the one great thing in your life
Planning one thrill on another until the murder
Kill for the love of killing (guilty)
Kill for a thrill
The thrill-seeker comes from all walks of life
He comes from the home
A home where the parents are too busy
To treat their children with respect”
Respect, respect, respect, respect hahaha)
(Respect, respect)
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
Scum-suckers! Debility divulged!
Anal fuckfest, thrill Olympics
Savage, scourge, supply and sanctify
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
Assassin (Hahaha!)
Assassin (Hahaha!)
Assassin (Hahaha!)
Assassin (Assassin)
Assassin (Hahaha!)
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
You sell us sedatives
Supplied become laxatives
My eyes shit out lies
I only kill to know I’m alive
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
Kill for a thrill (assassin)
“Some people think newspapers exaggerate juvenile crime
All that is defined mostly to large cities
Juvenile delinquency is underlined
Thus parents think something is
Going wrong with the environment
Adults create the world, children live in
Juvenile delinquency is always rooted in adult delinquency
And in this process, parents play the key role
When children grow up among adults who refuse
To recognize anything that is fine and good or worthy of respect”
(Respect, respect, respect)
(Respect, respect, respect, respect, respect)
(Hahaha!)
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
¡Qué!
So what? It’s your problem to learn to live with
Destroy us, or make us saints
We don’t care, it’s not our fault
That we were born too late
A screaming headache on the promised age
Killing time is appropriate
To make a mess and fuck all the rest, we say, we say
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
So what? (So what?)
So what?
¡Qué!
(Respect, respect)
(Kill for a thrill, hahaha!)
¡Qué!
Now that I know what it’s life
I’ll kill them all if I like
Only time will decide
No one listened to reason
It’s too late and I’m ready to fight
Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
(So what, so what?) Now I’m ready to fight!
