The eyes that vomit are the ones that are in love
We ask if vermin are the ones that already learned

"Jesus Built My Hot Rod" (MP3)
Jesus was the devil.
Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil
"Jesus" adds: "The liner notes say, "Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil". But if you listen to the song, it is absolutely clear that that is not what they are saying. They are saying, "Jesus was the devil". They just didn't want to print that as the official lyrics. But it's absolutely clear, and the number of syllables is different." [Ed.'s note: When I checked out 'Psalm 69' from the library, the intro did say "Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil". But on the video for "Jesus Built My Hot Rod", I thought I heard the blasphemous lyric you are referring to. I don't know if Ministry cut a cleaner version of 'Psalm 69' for Walmart or not. The controversy continues!]

Just one fix.
Never bust a junkie.
Never trust a junkie.

Now I know what is right
I'll kill them all if I like
I'm a time bomb inside
No one listens to reason, it's too late
And I'm ready to fight.
Ah-chooing on glass
I'm chewing on glass.
