NINE INCH NAILS lyrics - Survivalism (Saul Williams)

I should have listened to her, so hard to keep control

We kept on eating but our bloated belly's 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



[Chorus:]

I got my propaganda, I got revisionism

I got my violence in hi-def ultra-realism

All a part of this great nation

I got my fist, I got my pain, 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



[Chorus]



All bruised and broken, bleeding

She asked to take my hand

I turned, just keep on walking

But you'd do the same thing in the circumstance I'm sure you'll understand



[Chorus]



You got your pacifism, I got survivalism [repeat]
