Fresh off their new album Year Zero, it's the musical mastermind Trent Reznor and his band, Nine Inch Nails aka NIN, whatever you prefer. Buy the album, yes, but check out their past albums, because they are fuckin' ear candy, and I mean that in a sadistic, set the world on fire way. I highly recommend The Downward Spiral. Anyway, here's the lyrics for Survivalism.

Nine Inch Nails-Survivalism

I should have listened to her
So hard to keep control
We kept on eating but our
Bloated bellies still not full
She gave us all she had but
We went and took some more
Can't seem to shut her legs our
Mother nature is a whore

I got my propaganda I got revisionism
I got my violence in high def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism

Hypnotic sound of sirens
Echoing through the street
The cocking of the rifles
The marching of the feet
You see your world on fire
Don't try to act surprised
We did just what you told us
Lost our faith along the way and found ourselves believing your lies

I got my propaganda I got revisionism
I got my violence in high def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism

All bruised and broken bleeding
She asked to take my hand
I turned, just kept on walking
But you did the same thing to me so please now I'm sure you'll understand

I got my propaganda I got revisionism
I got my violence in high def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism

Bonus Footnote: The Year Zero CD has a fun little extra. Remember those Hypercolor t-shirts from the 80's? You put your handprint on them and they changed color. That's how the CD is. It's first black, put it in your stereo, it's tan. Letting the CD cool down turns it back to black, it's really awesome, not to mention clever. Trent, you bastard, heh.
