Cold Life Lyrics - Twelve Inch Singles (1981-1984) - Ministry

Cold life 

cold 

you know the yolk it's spreading from 

you laugh as people scatter 'bout 

surrounded by a veil of stars 

you realize your life is dark 

earth gets colder every day 

if scientists could have their way 

they'd study us from far away 

and watch as people's minds decay 

cold 

your body's in the hands of fools 

with swimming pools and low iq's 

there's nothing to see, nothing to do 

buy your stocks and sell your jewels 

bill collectors stole my mail 

my wife and kids are all for sale 

i hope to god i go to jail 

and no one can come up with bail 

cold life 

i can't control my buried thoughts 

the slightest thing makes me distraught 

i'm like the people i once fought 

my every action's being bought 

robot trainers earn their pay 

as mutant kids go out to play 

it's such a pretty pretty day 

with orange nights and days of grey 

Cold 

I've now become a nervous wreck 

i'm getting closer to my death 

i keep expecting my last breath 

as all my friends just laugh and jest 

The earth is such a filthy place 

and human such an awful race 

and i'd rather live in outer space 

where death goes at a slower pace 

Cold life 

I'm falling 

First last night we're riding home 

with friends in a big blue car 

for this man fed us rubbish 

as if it were caviar 

we told him; 'sir, please go away! 

we're innocent of crimes!' 

he hit me with his black nightstick 

and all i heard were cries 

I'm falling 

I asked her for a date one night 

she thought it'd be a laugh 

i'd take her to a restaurant 

and then up to her pad 

i waited at my house that night 

for her phone call to come 

she'd gone off with a ruffian 

and he came by with a gun 

I'm falling 

I'm falling 

yes i'm falling
