Just Stop Oil Lyrics
Artist: Ministry
"Just Stop Oil" by Ministry is a vehement protest against the ongoing environmental deggradation caused by fossil fuel consumption, particularly oil. This song, part of their album "Hopiumforthemasses," channels the band's frustration and calls for urgent action against corporate and governmental negligence towards the ecological crisis. The lyrics serve as a critique of how facts about climate change are often dismissed and the consequent societal inaction that brings us closer to a global disaster. The song's repetitive plea, "Just stop oil," is both a straightforward demand and a metaphor for the broader need to confront and mitigate human-caused environmental damage.
Al Jourgensen, Ministry's frontman, uses this track to voice his discontent wwith the state of the world, targeting "greedy billionaires, shitty politicians, and the polluters" who contribute to the climate crisis. The song reflects a sense of urgency and desperation for change, underscored by its heavy industrial metal sound, characteristic of Ministry's music. Jourgensen's rallying cry is not just against oil but against the broader backdrop of corporate greed and political apathy that hinders progress towards sustainable living.
"Just Stop Oil" embodies Ministry's enduring legacy of combining aggressive music with political and social commentary, pushing listeners to reflect on critical global issues. The song and the entire "Hopiumforthemasses" album signal Jourgensen's commitment to using his platform for advocacy, emphasizing the necessity of confronting these challenges head-on. Through this track, Ministry continues to inspire action and awareness, maintaining their position at the forefront of politically charged music.
Just Stop Oil Lyrics
Just Stop Oil by Ministry
Just stop oil
Stories are written, and most are just fables
The facts that are written are all on the table
Time is a factor, we're all on a tractor
Who is the driver of the coming disaster?
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
Disaster
The documentation of facts that are given
Are constantly met with a dose of derision
People are angry, and tensions are heightened
People are frightened, we're headed off a cliff now
What do we want? They want action, action
What do we want?
To let it all burn
What do we want?
Just stop oil
Dehumanization at a cellular level
Policy set by the corporate devils
There must be resistance, we cannot be silenced
There is the existence of possible violence
We got something to say, there's no time for delay
It's just the price that we pay to live another day
We are on the outskirts of the biggest catastrophe humanity has ever faced
And our government is doing nothing
They want action, action, action
Action, action, action, action
I am fighting for my future
The glaciers are melting, the forests are burning
The oceans are acid, the air is so rancid
The chance of redemption is, oh, so concerning
The price of oppression is civil aggression
We got something to say, there's no time for delay
It's just the price that we pay to live another day
We are on the outskirts of the biggest catastrophe humanity has ever faced
And our government is doing nothing
Is doing nothing
What do we want? They want action, action
What do we want?
Just stop oil
What do we want? They want action, action
I am fighting for my future
What do we want? They want action, action
What do we want?
Just stop oil
What do we want? They want action, action
What do we want?
