The Butterbeer Experience — At the Ministry lyrics

Lyrics

Well at first
It was great
At the Ministry
Had a job and a boss I adored
And I grew
And I grew
And I grew higher still
Till I don’t think I could grow
Anymore
Well at first
It was great
At the Ministry
I was rich, I was famous, I was cool
I had power and money
Hey isn’t it funny
How it all
Made me act
Like a fool?
'Cos what else do you need
When you’re rich
And important?
You don’t need your family
To make your dreams come true
I had all that I wanted
And I was on top
And I didn’t miss you
No, I didn’t miss you
At all
The Dark Lord returned
And everything changed
We were living in a state of fear
And Fudge was fired
And Scrimgeour hired
But a greater storm was drawing near
Nine months ago
Our Minister was murdered
And Voldemort’s Death Eaters took control
I had to get out
But escaping was hopeless
So I stayed
I had to stay
I watched them murder innocent muggles
I watched them torture Muggleborn children
And every day I played along
I donned a cruel disguise
Because I hoped that I might one day see
Your eyes again
So I do not care
If I’m rich or important
And I need my family because you are my dreams
I know I’ve been pompous
But now I am over it
So please, forgive me
I’m sorry and — no
you don’t have to fight alone.
«I'm sorry, Dad.»
