And consider these lyrics, with my notes in red:
| I believe I can see the future | (easier when you have none) |
| Cause I repeat the same routine | (in a fascist dictatorship, you no longer have choices) |
| I think I used to have a purpose | |
| But then again That might have been a dream | (as our memories of Old America dwindle, it will seem like a dream long ago dreamt) |
| I think I used to have a voice | (we will soon be in a place where we USED to be able to speak freely) |
| Now I never make a sound | (you will not be able to speak freely, lest you be noticed) |
| I just do what I've been told | (like a compliant sheep) |
| I really don't want them to come around Oh, no | (Them: The IRS, EPA, DHS, FBI, TSA, VIPR, and a dozen other agencies) |
| [Chorus:] Every day is exactly the same | (think of the monotony of the Soviet Union) |
| Every day is exactly the same | |
| There is no love here and there is no pain | (no love except what the state declares is allowable, no pain may be spoken of) |
| Every day is exactly the same | |
| I can feel their eyes are watching | (The NSA tracks your every communication. Drones watch your every movement) |
| In case I lose myself again | (do not LOSE YOURSELF, citizen. Be compliant to the State) |
| Sometimes I think I'm happy here | (we will delude ourselves into accepting the new Communist, Fascist state) |
| Sometimes, yet I still pretend | |
| I can't remember how this got started | (I sure can. I've been yelling about this since 1993) |
| But I can tell you exactly how it will end | (So can I. Death camps. Summary executions. Repression of political speech. Exile to re-education camps. Planned starvation.) |
Bump
This particular song, however, resonates so clearly. Trent saw the trend way back in the early-to-mid 90’s.
Your song in no way fits.
This is all well and good, but what does it have to do with “hitting it?”
Google NIN + Randy Newman’s Cars....live. Great video.
In California, we got there ahead of the rest of the US:
California Uber Alles
by the Dead Kennedys
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...
Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!
[Chorus:]
California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California
Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!
[Chorus]
Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.
DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown
[Chorus]

It froze ... Got an ice pick handy?
I met Trent Reznor and Alain Jourgensen of Ministry in KCMO at the Liberty Theater. Got backstage tickets to PIL and got $hitfaced with Johnny Rotten. Fun times late 80s and early 90s.
Gee ... frozen pants ...
HEAD LIKE A HOLE!
BLACK AS YOUR SOUL!
I’D RATHER DIE,
THAN GIVE YOU CONTROL!
Laz, if any NIN song fits the US government of today it’s “Big man with a gun”.
Unfortunately.
Be sure to see Gary Numan's contribution to Family guy by watching the video.
