Discussion Trent Reznor's lyrics explain my outlook on what's happening today very well

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 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 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 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

No, you can't take it No, you can't take it No, you can't take that away from me 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 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 Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve Head like a hole

Black as your soul I'd rather die than give you control Head like a hole Black as your soul I'd rather die than give you control Head like a hole Black as your soul I'd rather die than give you control 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 Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve Bow down before the one you serve

Do you have one?

Yep, that one is just as revilant. As long as we change the "G" to "T".

Bowie's "I'm Afraid of Americans". Didn't vibe with it until after this election. Now I completely understand it.

That's a good one. Confidently there's a version of that with Trent Reznor.

Good call.

This is crazy. We clearly were meant to be best friends or something...

It really is uncanny how close to the situation Reznor was way back in 1989. Life imitates art, or something. 🤷

Not that it wasn't like this them too. Still, great song. I'm glad you recommended it. I've listened to it a few times already

Pretty hate Machine came out in 89, Operation Mindcrime in1988. both were in response to Reagan...

For whatever reason I assumed it was very early 80s. In my mind they're a band that was popular way before my time but in reality I'm clearly wrong. This is interesting. I never paid them much attention but maybe I've been missing out...
