You Know What You Are Lyrics
you know what you are
you know what you are
don't try to reason
no words, no words
i've seen it all before
don't cry because it is too late
we make some people think
that's all they need to get home
now look into my eyes
i've seen the light
you know what you are
you know what you are
the star starts in the west
we have until we cry
last time we offer
it's going to slaughter out
his covered eyes
like in a really happy ending
don't look into my eyes
you're gonna die
you know what you are
you know what you are
you know what you are
"c'mon motherfuckers"
you know what you are
please don't kill me now
in a house of guilty hate
we go around in circles
retaliate
ignore the pain
ignore the terror
we saw the tears
lost in their eyes
you know what you are
"c'mon motherfuckers"
you know what you are
"c'mon motherfuckers"
"dance motherfucker"
you know what you are
no words, no words
i've seen it all before
don't cry because it is too late
we make some people think
that's all they need to get home
now look into my eyes
i've seen the light
you know what you are
we have until we cry
last time we offer
it's going to slaughter out
his covered eyes
like in a really happy ending
don't look into my eyes
you're gonna die
you know what you are
"c'mon motherfuckers"
you know what you are
in a house of guilty hate
we go around in circles
retaliate
ignore the pain
ignore the terror
we saw the tears
lost in their eyes
"c'mon motherfuckers"
you know what you are
"c'mon motherfuckers"
"dance motherfucker"
let me just add here that the vocal sample of the chorus screaming "you know what you are" is from the clint eastwood spaghetti western "the good, the bad and the ugly" at the very end of the movie. saw it a little bit ago and was like "wtf? ministry!"
good song ...
Best Ministry song, imo
What a beat, and I love the vocal effects
I have no idea what it means, but it's my favorite off land of rape and honey. Agreed with above.
To me it sounds like a reference to war and a soldier's observations. Could be wrong, though.
Skeksis from the Dark Crystal... that's who is singing this song.
