Lyrics
The words written by Trent Reznor can be as harsh and abrasive or as soft and melodic as the music itself. They set the mood and draw the listener into his own personal journey, and on these pages you will find the collected lyrics of NIN to assist you on that voyage.

Gunshots By Computer (Saul Williams)

are you looking for the truth or for another fight?
if you want to give me what i want then give it up tonight
freedom
ain't looking for no, ain't looking for no fight
if you want to give me what i want then give it up tonight

the world that circles around me can benefit from silence
this song is my enemy, watch how i become it
cradled by mystery and make believe i am floating in the other night
children wish upon me

this man and his army are praying in their fortresses making guns of steeples
insurgents of people
through messiahs
an immigrant detained at the border
severed from his trinity, his wife, and his daughter

america the beautiful, not beheaded hold down
lynchburg throwdown
it seems our favorite past-time has become our most feared future
technology has failed us

gunshots by computer

are you looking for the truth or for another fight?
if you want to give me what i want then give it up tonight
freedom
ain't looking for no, ain't looking for no fight
if you want to give me what i want then give it up tonight

"severed from his trinity/his wife and his daughter"... gotta be my favorite lyric in this song, but the whole thing is brash & powerful. Go Saul.

A message to the controllers...slaves should listen too.

Free them now! Free ALL of them. We can forgive. Freedom for fogiveness, it's worth the exchange, its a WIN WIN scenario (Collective RESONance)that way, not the ZERO SUM (Collective DI-SSonance) you are trying to manifest. Let go of the need to control. Try it, for once in your life, as dark as you have become. JUST TRY it, consider it even, do something different, something positive, take ONE STEP FORWARD, it is NEVER too late to do the right thing. If you REACH UP for our hand we would be no better than you if we didn't try to help pull you up too, we need to help each other or we all fall down. It's worth a try, just like this message.
