"N.W.O." (New World Order) is a song by the industrial band Ministry, released as the second single off the album Psalm 69. The single was Ministry's biggest hit, topping out on the Billboard charts at #11. The song is a protest against then President George H. W. Bush. The song features audio samples of his voice, with him repeating "A new world order" over and over again at the end of the song. At this point of the song in the video, Bush is portrayed by an actor with an enormous papier-mâché head, grabbing his crotch and waving his arms. 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. "N.W.O." was featured in the soundtrack of the film Cool World (Songs from the Cool World). "It's alright! It's alright!" in the song is a clip of Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now when he first greets the PT boat.
