NINE INCH NAILS LYRICS
The Hand That Feeds
You’re keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Because you do
What you’re told
But inside your heart it is black and it’s hollow and it’s cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade’s
A charade
And behind it all there’s a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees?
I just saw V for Vendetta and thought it was pretty good. This is the first time I’ve ever listened to a NIN song.
There’s another one on the site, which is also good. It’s the soundtrack for an official NASA simulation of the Pathfinder mission. I think it’s highly cool that NASA would use NIN for an official video, and the song and video are both great. Type Nine Inch Nails into the search box and you’ll find it.
There are some great V for Vendetta mashups here. And of course I have the alliteration speech he gives Evey.
I always thought that V For Vendetta would be better with SOAD because they are more politicially minded compared to Nine Inch Nails, but this song works fine! :) I’ve got the hardcover edition of the graphic novel, worth every Aussie dollar :P
I also like the one on here by Rage Against the Machine, but SOAD would be good, too. Haven’t found any on YouTube though.

RATM, another candidate I had in mind :)
