Pretty Hate Machine

[Verse 1]

God money, I'll do anything for you

God money, just tell me what you want me to

God money, nail me up against the wall

God money, don't want everything, he wants it all

[Pre-Chorus]

No, you can't take it, no, you can't take it

No, you can't take that away from me

No, you can't take it, no, you can't take it

No, you can't take that away from me

[Chorus]

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

[Post-Chorus]

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

[Verse 2]

God money's not looking for the cure

God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure

God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised

God money's not one to choose

[Pre-Chorus]

No, you can't take it, no, you can't take it

No, you can't take that away from me

No, you can't take it, no, you can't take it

No, you can't take that away from me

[Chorus]

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

[Post-Chorus]

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

[Chorus]

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

Head like a hole, black as your soul

I'd rather die than give you control

[Post-Chorus]

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

Bow down before the one you serve

You're going to get what you deserve

Bow down before the one you serve (Oh, oh)

You're going to get what you deserve (Oh, oh)

Bow down before the one you serve (Oh, oh)

You're going to get what you deserve (Oh, oh)

[Hidden Lyrics]

You know who you are

[Verse 1]

It's still getting worse after everything I've tried

What if I found a way to wash it all aside?

What if she touches with those fingertips

As the words spill out like fire from her lips?

[Pre-Chorus]

If she says, "Come inside," I'll come inside for her

If she says, "Give it all," I'll give everything to her

[Chorus]

I am justified

I am purified

I am sanctified

Inside you

[Verse 2]

Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel

As she walks me through the nicest parts of hell (Parts of hell)

I still dream of lips I never should have kissed

Well, she knows exactly what I can't resist

[Pre-Chorus]

And if she says, "Come inside," I'll come inside for her

And if she says, "Give it all," I'll give everything to her

[Chorus]

I am justified

I am purified

I am sanctified

Inside you

[Interlude]

(Dear mom and dad

This is the hardest letter I've ever had to write

I'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know about it

But that just isn't possible now

I don't know what's gonna happen, but what can I say to you?

Will "I'm sorry" make a difference? Will it ease the pain?

The shame you must be feeling, forgive me, please)

[Verse 3]

I'm just caught up in another of her spells

Well, she's turning me into someone else

Every day I hope and pray that this will end

But when I can, I do it all again

[Pre-Chorus]

And if she says, "Come inside," I'll come inside for her

And if she says, "Give it all," I'll give everything to her

[Chorus]

I am justified

I am purified

I am sanctified

Inside you

I am justified

I am purified

I am sanctified

Inside you

[Hidden Lyrics]

As surely as the blade's course is run

Maybe my kingdom's finally come

[Verse 1]

I still recall the taste of your tears

Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears

My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore

Scraping through my head 'til I don't wanna sleep anymore

[Chorus]

You make this all go away

You make this all go away

I'm down to just one thing

And I'm starting to scare myself

You make this all go away

You make this all go away

I just want something

I just want something I can never have

[Verse 2]

You always were the one to show me how

Back then, I couldn't do the things that I can do now

This thing is slowly taking me apart

Grey would be the color if I had a heart

Come on and tell me

[Chorus]

You make this all go away

You make this all go away

I'm down to just one thing

And I'm starting to scare myself

You make this all go away

You make this all go away

I just want something

I just want something I can never have

[Verse 3]

In this place it seems like such a shame

Though it all looks different now, I know it's still the same

Everywhere I look, you're all I see

Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be

Come on and tell me

[Chorus]

You make this all go away

You make this all go away

I'm down to just one thing

And I'm starting to scare myself

You make this all go away

You make it all go away

I just want something

I just want something I can never have

I just want something I can never have

[Hidden Lyrics]

Think I know what you meant, that night on my bed, still picking at this scab, I wish you were dead, your sweat and perry ellis, just stains on my sheets

[Verse 1]

Just when everything was making sense

You took away all my self-confidence

Now all that I've been hearing must be true

I guess I'm not the only boy for you

[Chorus]

But that's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

[Verse 2]

How can you turn me into this?

After you just taught me how to kiss you?

I told you I'd never say goodbye

Now I'm slipping on the tears you've made me cry

[Chorus]

But that's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

That's what I get

[Bridge]

Why does it come as a surprise?

To think that I was so naïve

Maybe didn't mean that much

But it meant everything to me

[Chorus]

That's what I get!

That's what I get!

That's what I get!

That's what I get, that's what I get

That's what I get!

That's what I get!

That's what I get!

That's what I get, that's what I get

That's what I get

[Verse 1]

I'm drunk

And right now I'm so in love with you

And I don't wanna think too much about what we

Should or shouldn't do

Lay my hands on Heaven and the sun and the moon and the stars

While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car

[Pre-Chorus]

Nothing quite like the feel of something new

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm all messed up, maybe I'm all messed up

Maybe I'm all messed up in you, maybe I'm all messed up

Maybe I'm all messed up, maybe I'm all messed up

Maybe I'm all messed up in you, maybe I'm all messed up

[Post-Chorus]

This is the only time I really feel alive

This is the only time I really feel alive, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2]

I swear

I just found everything I need

The sweat in your eyes, the blood in your veins

Are listening to me

Well, I wanna rip it up and swim in it until I drown

My moral standing is lying down

[Pre-Chorus]

Nothing quite like the feel of something new

[Chorus]

Maybe I'm all messed up, maybe I'm all messed up

Maybe I'm all messed up in you, maybe I'm all messed up

Maybe I'm all messed up, maybe I'm all messed up

Maybe I'm all messed up in you, maybe I'm all messed up

[Post-Chorus]

(This is the only time I really feel alive

This is the only time I really feel alive)

Oh

[Interlude]

Maybe I'm all messed up in you! Oh! Oh, oh-oh!

No! No! Woah-oh-oh-oh!

Oh, oh-oh!

[Outro]

This is the only time I really feel alive

This is the only time I really feel alive

This is the only time I really feel alive

This is the only time I really feel alive, oh

[Hidden Lyric]

I can't help but think Christ never had it like this
