'N.W.O.' (New World Order) is a song by American rock band Ministry, released as the opening track and second single from their fifth studio album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992). An industrial metal song, it was co-written and co-produced by the band’s frontman Al Jourgensen and bassist Paul Barker, and is widely regarded as a protest against then-President George H. W. Bush, featuring samples from his speeches.[2] The song was nominated for a Grammy Award under the Best Metal Performance category in 1993,[3] and was featured in the soundtrack album of Ralph Bakshi’s 1992 film Cool World.[4] In 1994, the song was used in a Spin Magazine commercial which featured Jourgensen, among others.[5] In 2015, 'N.W.O.' was ranked #10 in the VH1 'Top 10 Hardest Hitting Heavy Metal Political Anthems' list.[6]
The promotional single, featuring two mixes of 'N.W.O.' and a non-album instrumental track 'Fucked', has been released around the same time with its parent album,[7] and topped out on the BillboardModern Rock chart at no. 11.[8]

WWE won the Monday Night Wars but WCW's NWO Wolfpac dominated the company until they were bought by WWE in 2001. When NWO debuted in WWE in 2003 after the ill-fated WWE vs. WCW/ECW storyline it was as the original trio of Hogan, Hall and Nash. The Wolfpac lives on in WWE Network, which has every PPV and every episode of both Nitro and Thunder ever. During this time, the nWo broke into two different factions, the nWo Wolfpac and nWo Hollywood, both Hennig and Rude joined Kevin Nash's fan-favorite Wolfpac group. However, the two villains did not really fit in with the fan-favorite Wolfpac faction, especially when Rude would still get on the microphone and tell the fans to shut up. (New World Order) is a song by American rock band Ministry, released as the opening track and second single from their fifth studio album Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs (1992).
The music video for “N.W.O.” was directed by Peter Christopherson. The majority of the video is a mix of police beatings, riots, and gunfights. It also includes a scene in which a woman dressed as the Statue of Liberty is beaten by police in a manner similar to the famous amateur video of Rodney King being beaten by police.[9][10] The video was featured on Beavis and Butt-Head along with another track from Psalm 69, 'Just One Fix'.
The song was featured in the video game Need for Speed: The Run.[11]
Samples[edit]
Samples from Apocalypse Now are included in this track: Dennis Hopper's character exclaiming 'It's alright!' as the patrol boat is approaching the colonel's fort, as well as the siren that was used during the scene. There is also a loop of the guitar solo coming from a transistor radio in the grenade launcher's bunker.
Footage from the music video of the Octopus is from the Japanese film Space Amoeba. Footage of the turtle is from the film franchise Gamera.

Nwo Wolfpack Theme Song
Wolfpac is back causin' mass destruction
Guess who's here? The Bad Boys of wreslin'
Testin' competition when the war does their mission (?)
Got no mercy
See them race like a streak
If you don't know, you better find out the Wolfpac
Here to prove a point
Number 1, just believe that you don't want to mess with them
I'll be your forward (?)
Come in the ring, and then you're never walkin' out again
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
You might wind up in a body bag
Took your chances
Now it's time to show you were wrong
In the ring this is poor,
Are you such that strong?
Day in, Day Out
The Wolfpac for life
Tell the boys with guts to come in the ring tonight
Don't care about the rulebook because you make your own rules
You don't have to takes to fill they shoes
See, it's just a crowd pleaser,
On the ground I leave ya
You're the first never makin' emenies with these soldiers
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
You might wind up in a body bag
Wolfpac is back causin' mass destruction
Guess who's here? The Bad Boys of wreslin'
Testin' competition when the war does their mission (?)
Got no mercy
See them race like a streak
If you don't know, you better find out the Wolfpac
Here to prove a point
Number 1, just believe that you don't want to test it with them
I'll be your forward (?)
Come in the ring, and then you're never walkin' out again
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
Don't turn your back on the Wolfpac
You might wind up in a body bag
(Thanks to Phantom for these lyrics)
