Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole

  

Head Like A Hole by Nine Inch Nails

ALBUM
Pretty Hate Machine, 1989 (debut release)

BAND MEMBER AT THE TIME
Trent Reznor

FUN FACT
Though it’s been rumored that the band’s name refers to Jesus’s crucifixion, Reznor has said it has no meaning and was simply the only of his choices that stuck. Also, it abbreviated easily.

ABOUT THE SONG
The album’s opening track was added late in recording (as a throw-away track) to give it an aggressive sound.

LYRICS
God money- I’ll do anything for you
God money- just tell me what you want me to
God money- nail me up against the wall
God money- don’t want everything, he wants it all

No, you can’t take it
No, you can’t take it
No, you can’t take that away from me

Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control

Bow down before the one you serve
You’re going to get what you deserve

God money’s not looking for the cure
God money’s not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money- let’s go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money’s not one to choose
