    YAY DEVO! :D

    Trent Reznor is better nowadays writing music for the film industry. I get bored with all the doom and gloom. ;)

    "The Becoming"

    I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
    I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming
    the me that you know he had some second thoughts
    he's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
    the me that you know doesn't come around much
    that part of me isn't here anymore
    all pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
    drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
    the me that you know used to have feelings
    but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
    the me that you know is now made up of wires
    and even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
    I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in
    I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
    I can see it killing away all my bad parts
    I don't want to listen but it's all too clear

    hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
    Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away

    it won't give up it wants me dead
    goddamn this noise inside my head

    "Heresy"

    He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
    He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
    He's got the answers to ease my curiosity
    He dreamed a god up and called it Christianity
    Your god is dead and no one cares
    If there is a hell I'll see you there
    He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
    He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
    His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
    Demands devotion atrocities done in his name
    Your god is dead and no one cares
    Drowning in his own hypocrisy
    And if there is a hell I'll see you there
    Burning with your god in humility
    Will you die for this?

    "God Given"

    Hey man, please don't make a sound
    Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you?
    Have a little taste, no more time to waste
    You don't wanna get left behind cause it's all coming down right now

    How hard is it to see?
    Put your faith in me
    I sure wouldn't want to be praying to the wrong piece of wood
    You should get where you belong
    Everything you know is wrong
    Come on, sing along, everybody now

    God given

    And it gives us sight
    And we see the light
    And it burns so bright
    Now we know we're right
    And His Kingdom come
    And Thy will be done
    We've just begun
    We're the chosen ones

    I would never tell you anything
    That wasn't absolutely true
    That hadn't come right from his mouth
    And he wants me to tell you

    Wait, step into the light
    How can this be right?
    I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave
    This you cannot win
    With the color of your skin
    You won't be getting into the Promised Land
    This is just another case
    You people still don't know your place
    Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
    'Cause we are the divine
    Separated from the swine

    Come on, sing along, everybody now
    God given

    And it gives us sight
    And we see the light
    And it burns so bright
    Now we know we're right
    And His Kingdom come
    And Thy will be done
    We've just begun
    We're the chosen ones

    I would never tell you anything
    That wasn't absolutely true
    That hadn't come right from his mouth
    And he wants me to tell you

    Love NIN. Got into them pretty late.

    Downward Spiral is a great album, but Right Where it Belongs is my fave. It fitted perfectly what I felt when I was thinking about leaving.

    What if everything around you
    Isn't quite as it seems?
    What if all the world you think you know
    Is an elaborate dream?
    And if you look at your reflection
    Is it all you want it to be?
    What if you could look right through the cracks?
    Would you find yourself
    Find yourself afraid to see?

    NIN is awesome. Pretty Hate Machine got me through the remainder of my JW days. Flat_Accent, "Right Where it Belongs" is one of my favorites too.

    don't know how i missed this thread.

    probably one of the biggest fans.

    seen them live during with teeth tour and lights in the sky tour.

    "how to destroy angels" is also very good.

    i collected all the cd's he had from halo1 to halo2+? trent is a excellent business man. 20+ dollars a cd X 20+ cd's. and alot of the songs were remixes. and not good ones.

    it was the bridge from nirvana to nin that got me free of the JWs. nirvana wsa the teenage frustration and nin was breaking the control.

    i didn't like "ghosts" much. too much repetition.

    i am likeing "the fragile" album lately. please, somewhat damaged, we're in this together now

    some of the best driving music out there i find.

    good to see all the fans raise their hands.

    I actually like the Ghosts, strymeckirules. I listen to them when I'm reading sometimes, or when I'm driving late at night thinking about things. Not all of them are good, but I generally enjoy them. I also own the entire NIN discography collection.
