I'm the ministry of death
Ahoorah!
I'm a marine I'm hard I'm trained
I'm part of a brotherhood no hackers allowed
You scumbag sonofabitch
You bubble-butted bulging maggot piece of shit
You syphillitic Siberian sonofabitch
I'm gonna screw your head off
I'm gonna stick my dick in your nose
I'm gonna sell you to queers
I'm gonna bury you like dog shit
Ahoorah!
M16's for Jesus Christ
Humpin' my rifle like I hump your wife
Boots on the ground and head held high
I'm ready to kill and I'm ready to die
Gangreen
Gangreen
Devil dogs to the front of the fight
Gonna kill everything in sight
Born again hard and born again mean
Trained by the corps to be a killing machine
And if I die for the US of A
Pin a medal on my chest and give me benefit pay
My corps
Your corps
Hard corps
Marine corps
Ahoorah!
Marine corps
First on the scene and the last to know
First ones shipped and the last ones home
I'll tell you why God loves the marines
Heaven is stocked with our casualties
Gangreen

Ahoom- good!

I'm surprised no ones commented on this yet, it was my favourite on the new album. The song is basically pointing out how Marines train so hard and long for this country, yet wind up being the first ones to die, some girls I know have marine boyfriends, this song offends the living daylights out of them.
On another note, the intro is one of the best song intros I've heard in years. =P Contrary to popular belief though, it's not the guy from Full Metal Jacket, it's just a very good facsimile.
@LunaticLiam My friend was a Marine and he always viewed this song as very pro-Marine, telling me that lines like "first on the scene and the last to know" or "Heaven is filled with our casualties" were Marine mantras, proud to throw themselves into battle and die, even if ignorant as to why. I also picked up somewhere that the voice of the drill instructor was the superior of the guy from Full Metal Jacket, a real-life drill instructor himself. I always saw Ministry as against the war but in support of the military. I could be...

i know and work with alot of marines that absolutely love ministry. they all agree both ministry and the song gangreen are definitely pro military. they have always been against the people sending them to die needlessly in conflicts we don't belong in. Ahoorah! marines
