This is the one hundred and forty-second installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.
Today’s Song of Sacrilege is Psalm 69 by Ministry.
Lyrics
Congregation, please be seated and open your prayer guides to the book
Of revelations, Psalm sixty nine
Drinking the blood of Jesus
Drinking it right from his veins
Learning to swim in the ocean
Learning to prowl in his name
The body of Christ looked unto me
A preacher with God-given hands
He wants you to suck on the Holy Ghost
And swallow the sins of man
Psalm sixty nine
The invisible piss of the Holy Ghost
Comes down like acid rain
They’re making a bonnet of terminal guilt
The scavengers go on parade
The fathers who write that eternity
Is used to fight the sword
Have filled you up with the devil’s cock
And he’ll come in the name of the lord
The way to succeed and the way to suck eggs
Here is a funny thing. I worked with Al Jorgensen (the mastermind behind Ministry) in Chicago at Chicago Trax Recording Studio in the early 90s. Industrial Rock was a huge market at that time. I have many, many stories about him.
