"I pushed the button and elected him to office and a
He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch in on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long
I'm sick of hearing about the have and have not's
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we are doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me
Well I use to stand for something
Well I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
and he signs his name with a capital G
Don't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You hadn't had enough to know what its like
Your only angry cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head cause you know that I'm right..alright!
Well I use to stand for something
Well I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in my god for this one
and he signs his name with a capital G" (some lyrics have been removed for length regulation purposes.)
-T-Rez aka Trent Reznor...
(trent is so hot, this song gives a whole new meaning to "truth from the mouths of babes!")
Also, this is definitely one of my favorite songs by NiN. It pretty much embodies most of my opinion towards good ole' goerge and all that he stands for. I am becoming pretty anti-authority...I don't like having people over me bc they will, inevitably, threaten my freedom regardless of what we are brainwashed to think. Democracy my left buttock! the lie that is democracy....How do we benefit when someone else determines what is best for the whole? and what if we aren't a part of the whole? we are just second rate citizens....LIARRRRRSSS!!!! <<<----sex pistols song!!! whooo! Check them out as well.

I love me some trent!
Ditto, but I still like The Fragile and The Downward Spiral the most, although Year Zero was better than With Teeth IMO.

Ok, you were only 3 words over the minimum requirement for content. I would ask that next time you add less lyrics and more analysis, but 100 words is the minimum, so I can'd demand.
Also, you need to be careful about using more than 4 paragraphs of source material. Lyrics are under the Fair Use Policy, but we only allow 4 paragraphs. Now, we do not have a standard for measuring paragraphs, but by line breaks, these lyrics would be 7 paragraphs.
If you've got any questions, feel free to drop me a line or message any of the other A-Team members.
Also, This song rocks my socks. I love this album. I like Pretty Hate Machine better, though. I'm partial to Head Like a Hole.
