Nine Inch Nails - Capital G Lyrics

in honor of episode 9's release this week... here is a NIN SW parody: https://soundcloud.com/franco-fourran/george-with-a-capital-g

Okay going to throw this batshit crazy theory out there but what if the capital G was really G for Gonzo? Think about it, that furry blue alien bastard with a chicken fetish.

*An “Official” Ravenclaw Comment*
As an officially sorted Ravenclaw, I can’t help but balk at the influx of illegal habits, especially one seemingly dying a slow death in the city streets and panhandling or causing disruption. This goes against the realities of healthy learning. Not to be nostalgic, but It reminds me of Medieval sickness running rampant. Media is usually filled with the learning exercises of various people. This is not a good place to look for up-to-the-date news. Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. This can be seen today with people embracing the papacy, looking for money in the militia, looking for the general order, or looking to apprentice. These elements are generally historically known to have died out after the Late Medieval period. Another thing that died out was art. Some things reach a wall of reality after the definitions become well-defined. Don’t let that be you! The colors of Ravenclaw seem very succinct to their definitions. They are proficient in studying, the philosophy, and even ancient kings. I’m aware that magic is not real, yes, and is generally not accepted well back during the Renaissance and the time of Pliny the Elder and Virgil but it’s a historical fun to learn and live out. These things become a sort of public sharing and we shouldn’t live in a vacuum. You can become officially sorted online at a simple quiz. 10/23/19

0:27 This line killed a socialist somewhere

well trevor in reality was mocking those that say that those of lower class should take personal accountability. This is told from the perspective of Capital G (I wonder who that is) and a lot of it is sarcastic.
For example the next line: The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me
Which is said from the same perspective. This is said through the corrupt individual and it shouldn't be taken at face value.

@Artem Torubarov Yeah i was being cheeky, i understand nin doesn't give you the full picture right off the bat, but the "have-nots" ARE being used as an excuse by think tanks to dismantle everything, including even the lower class

yes, your right.

*Hobbies, Habits, and Hobbits of a Modern Aristocracy in Greek*
Hobbies of the aristocracy definitely require a lot of Greek, although sometimes a looking glass becomes popular and destroys everything (telescopes were more popular than microscopes). If it's science or math-related and not a hobby to you, they probably don't want it. Eternal life and vanity are always popular to the aristocracy and has heavy courses of alchemy and transmutation. The Occult is usually related, although more heavy on the medical side it can pertain to other sciences and studies. Never rely on existential moments for that is a faux pas and manners or etiquette don't mix with friends, only formal occasions unless that is your game for some strange modern reason. Yes, tragedy and insults become popular. Today is filled on the highest levels with Dan Brown junk and Voynich Codes and, of course, science versus religion. Good luck, Nesbit! You're down to getting advice from a poor Harker-like character. Do I have to see your Victrola TM and your abacus all the time? Whatever dialectic of the day and books you can reference is a heady crash course in failure...(these days it seems to be LOTR, Star Wars, and GOT, sometimes its been Dickens or Poe). Think history. No one wants to know about your girlfriend or boyfriend or your private perversions, or your money, or your operation. Politics and religion used to be off-limits but not so much more today. Etiquette and chivalry are pretty dead. It's difficult with historical areas like horses or cowboys because of things like Spanish roots. Those go in my pocket along with anything German or black knight because of my last name, (Nienow, which literally means "not now").

Big 'G' is whatever your oppressive God has been, driving you to be utterly selfish . Blind to other humanity.
To me, this is about the moment you realize how fucked the system you have been paying tribute to; now awakening-full of sarcastic fury...

He should remix this and title it “Capital T”.

"G" for George Soros

Now he signs his name with a capital "D"

Targeting the Masonic 'G' for sure. The true string pullers of humanity

Or maybe you. 😝

Death to America...!!!

Capital G

Capital T

Please, people. Just be nice. Reason and rebuttal is the way to be human. Don't get me wrong....

Thank you Pandora

I wonder what Trent Reznor thinks of Donald Trump. I bet he just loves him!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbHMBArkc-g&t=3s

All the Trump supporters pretend they don’t like Bush when they loved him 9 years ago. He’s still horrible but Trump makes him look much better.

This song and Rage Against the Machine's stuff is even more relevant now than is was then with that buffoon and his minions we have in the White House now

Because Trump is first US president to ever meet with the Premier of North Korea? You know nothing of politics.

If nobody goes out to vote next time maybe we can see who gets selected

Fits Trumpie to a T... Fuck Trump! And fuck you bitch ass Trump supporters!

Hi there. I voted Trump and I'm pretty proud of that. I didn't like the Syria strikes, but I did like the move to stop CIA from arming ISIS to destabilize Syria. I kind of wish we could leave Syria alone. I'm a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. We had no plan over there and people in our gov't want to spread that shit show all over the Middle East. They want Syria, Iran, the works. Fuck them. Fuck their bullshit wars. Fuck their dick-measuring contest with Russia and all their bullshit talk of "ensuring security".

I also didn't like the Saudi weapons deal. Saudi Arabia is one of the most ass-backwards countries in the entire world, but that's what happens when you win the lottery. You bring your barbaric ass in million dollar style while still burning women for witchcraft.

Other than that shit, he's doing pretty good, so no. Fuck you, you simple ass. Show some goddamn respect, wipe your own ass, and stand correct. The only bitch ass is the bitch ass that doesn't appreciate shit and wants to antagonize the base that voted in America's best interest. Fuck you, you ignorant, dumb-shit, cock-sucking, pile of dog-shit, wannabe hard-ass, that don't know his own ass from a hole in the ground.

WHINE WHINE WHINE WHINE WHINE Пидор блять!!!!(

Capital D (2017 Version) please!

NIN isn't about upbeat, positive messages.

If you read between the lines in many songs you'll be able to see the positive messages

07.04.2017 - Capital D.

this song now is even more relevant

Stop being TRUMP haters

Lauren T lol . i dont hate anything. just very much dislike big government. thats why im here. seems your here trolling to protect your new leader. protect yourself!

G

Sorry, it's trendy. Celebrities, legacy, and social media say so.

Trump 2020

Capital T, right?

Actually if you looked into it he's talking about a group or guild

Trump 2020

@Stoned Prophet In jail 2020

Capital D

another cock biter

Trent Reznor for president!

Make America Mosh again! \m/

Amen brother

Trent Reznor 4 Preznor!

As much as I wanted this song to be about Bush when it came out, The Rez says the "G" stands for "greed" not "George." Now when I hear it, I think of all the conservative Trump-supporters, sell-outs, and otherwise douchey magoos I try to avoid... still relevant.

Tanavids I think of George Soros and his Soros Justice Warrior Snowflake crybabies.

If it's not about Bush then why is he so heavily featured in the OFFICIAL video???? Just to add, if KIllary had gotten in would he be doing a remix Capital C like he has done Capital T, I don't think so, used to love NIN but am sick of whingy libtards ruining everything, now I can't listen to them without thinking WHY TRENT WHY GO POLITICAL??????

It's a song about whiny little liberals.

I just think about all politicians. Every single one. Every single side. All succumb to the G. In the end, they are all the same.

John Rambo u must be fucking kidding me. I'm the ghost of Stone Wall Jackson (he made stone walls) and I forbid you to attach the south; now don't kill that Asian with the back of your blade.... OR ELSE

With a capital O

You know literally nothing about Reznor if you think this song would ever apply to Obama. It would however apply to Trump.

Chris Jenkins, Obama doesn't have clean hands either. He's committed just as many war crimes.

Trent got clean off narcotics and started taking the worst drug ever, Politics.

Capital G for god damn this country of people are a peace of shit

I too like to shit in peace.

turn your back on the elite.

+Ansuz JERA Team Why? It is just a high class version of a slave. (Mental or Spiritual) Vs Physical the later one actually has a chance of a break for freedom the one before it could only escape it if he or she killed themselves or had someone else do it for them.

+Ansuz JERA Team Fill the black hole in your heart with drugs and money and fake success the black hole was put there by someone else not them.

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song blasting on a Saturday night at 3 a.m. back in 2008. I was mesmerized by the visual graphic equalizer on my stereo and underwent an awakening. "Now nod your head because you know that I'm right."

Do you remember that crazy animated music video? i cant find it anywhere

I USED TO STAND FOR SOMETHING, NOW I'M ON MY HANDS AND KNEES

TRADING IN MY GOD FOR THIS ONE, AND HE SIGNS HIS NAME WITH A CAPITAL G

don't know if it's d official one ,but  can not have better than this one

fuck George Bush!

I was making a joke come on, why did you have to take it that far?

@Alex Hildred Hopefully Jeb doesn't win. I never want to see a Bush in office again.

you do realize the trent reznor said that the G stands for greed not fucking George W. Bush

je tu někdo medojed army ( Agraelus)

@ENDERboy ČeskyLP no jasně

jasan HOVADO!

jasný! :D

hi five if your son jack brought you here :))

This song is actually about freemasonry. 

+Alien Tribe Records The Earth is flat.

+aburg10s it's triangular, actually.

+badleatherlad because you all know WTF

Many people mis-interpret what/who "Capital G" is.  It's not Bush, it's government, no matter who's in charge.  Also, the timeline of this album's story starts in 2015.  So basically next year will be "year zero" in the story.  However, George Bush STARTED this police state, and since it was made during his term, it kind of has dual meaning.

Nice, so I did interpret it correctly!

+vinvanveen So "Greed" is personified as male, as a man?

Apparently. Again, Reznor's own words.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbHMBArkc-g&t=3s

I understand it more as capital G is GREED... But yes like most of his songs have multiple meanings

FreeMasons \G/

George Bush's presidency boggles my mind. That was a major fuck up.

boggles,my god have you seen the documentaries on this guy,drilling for oil in Texas and coming up dry..that's like drilling for water in the ocean and not finding any,this guy is a figment of Alister Crowley s imagination,he is from toon town,ive never seen anything like it,when he was in that classroom on 9/11,he was getting some upgrading on his education,just another student,surrounded by like minded children.....aaawwhhhhhhhhhhh

@al brown Yes sir, he is dumber than spaghetti noodles.

how about Osama there ....are you serious? what about Bill Clinton had a CHILD with a Prostitute that "disappeared" the kid is alive and well. his name is Danny Williams

I think your minds boggled by a lot of things then. Not really cause they don't make sense. More just you're confused. I generally understand why things happen, even if the reasons suck. example, we almost elected a liar who still thinks her her husband didnt "rape that woman" after he said it depends on what the definition of is is, then went off and knowingly lied under oath about national security, and rigged her own parties election, basically stealing their right to represent themselves, and basically told the fbi how she destroyed the hard drives they couldn't use when they asked he, or should I say wiped them with a towel after soaking them in chemicals. Nah bro, I think we made the right choice. And I get it, liberals are just morons. That makes sense. My question is why otherwise smart people treat liberals as logical and try debating with them. Like, can you not see that's never going to be anything more than a one sided conversation? Maybe some people still have hope for humanity? Dude, news flash, superman was just a comic book.

That's weird, for them to be investing money so poorly they are turning up quite the profit. They don't beg the government for funds to avoid bankruptcy. They just pay taxes on the surplus. Oh if only the other 80% of the country were like that. Now California, they are stupid. Off shore drilling has Just been happening, and they're a prime candidate. Here's a theory, the allegedly global warming related massive "arkflood" wasn't even one. A arkflood is caused by climate change caused by man. Geologist and climate scientist agree that that floods happened every 200 years for 2000 years, and were way close to die for another. Maybe, just maybe, God put the same area that would remain old California in the new california model under water every 200 years for 2000 years as a kind of ironic joke. Nah, I didn't kill you. I don't exist, remember. It's been doing that forever. Why the hell did you build a city there. Oh year, you're morons. Any more questions Mr atheist climate change scientist? No objections to my reasoning left. Okay, I'm going to send you to hell now since you have no logical arguments left. The real joke is on them cause they were right and he did want to kill them, he just did it without leaving the.....evidence. Oh the irony. This would be a great satire b

My favorite NIN album.

This is one of my favorites too.

@Jimirulz1 YES!

Good musician but a political idiot

Reznor already said that the G stands for Greed.

Trent Reznor said the G stands for Greed.

He's a bundle of sticks. Makes sense.

you are a genius

Published on Jan 28, 2011

you are a genius

yeah studies show people that think they can multitask actually do each job they take on less and less efficient ...

good words brotha wish more would think like you !!

The G stands for George

alfillabyad g stands for greed

Both are valid

Don't even start with that crap they're all the same.

Love the video. Jeb Bush 2016!

George Bush is a Gangster

Me too, depending how it's interpreted.
Iraq was G's "bomb" - next one will be coming soon, but by yet another puppet.
Awesome tune

[ jesus camp]]

If you want to know about the Bush family and greed, just research Prescott Bush and trading with the enemy act. :)

This is not the official video - Was a fan made video. Video is stolen from SyrielTiger

This is your legacy...one you can not hide from...

this song and video reminds me of the war in iraq.

All politics aside, this song rocks!

Actually, I would say that Bush has absolutely nothing to do with greed. Rather, greed may have something to do with him. With or without Bush ever existing, greed still exists. Without greed, Bush would probably have been a very different person (and to be frank, so would every one else on this planet).

Capital Dub. Hershell Walker

You know this song could work for our current disease just call it Capital B!

But they are the "lesser evil" so that makes it ok

You know I learned something today......my society traded god.....for a new one.....the capital G!!!!

wow four years late buddy...did you really sit there and look for my comment? aww i feel loved =)

He said that to get out of deep shit... are you going to say you made a video making fun of and shitting on the current president?

I've come for my 4 year check up, Dr. Reznor. Inject me with your Capital G.

I'm glad you enjoy it :P

This isn't the official music video. I made it. :P

DEDICATED TO ROMNEY/RYAN

The system is to blame. Don't blame the people for taking advantage of it, for right, wrong or otherwise.

uh, Clinton is the shit.

Trent is someone who is honest with himself & only wants what the fuck he has coming to him although all the powers in the world have been trying to take it away from him. He is incredible to take such strength considering all he has endured. He won't take bullshit. He will get exactly what he deserves & I will do all in my power to ensure this. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!! HE IS GOD with a capital G!!!!!!!!!!! Sally (check out "Beware of God" on my youtube channel & read my comments)

it appears to be about the GREED of then president George bush.

So the financial collapse had nothing to do with Bush spending billion's of $'s per month on a war in Iraq that was fought on the false premise that Iraq had WMD's? You are one stupid SOB!

If this song was about Bush & you thought Bush was bad, where is the one about the big Capital O ??????? Hell, he is the worst damn president EVER!!!!!!!! Obama sucks!!!!!

fuckin mickey mouse ad in the top corner of my screen ruined it for me.

we know what this is about, stop analysing it all and ENJOY the bloody music people

@ForteIIV exactly. sometimes the things trent writes should be taken at face value. theres no hidden agenda in this song. and he said outright that year zero was about the politics of america leading up to its release.

@ForteIIV well, the line about trading in My God is significant b/c it's about how ppl betray the ideology of god for--in this case--the ideology of power via money and politics. what's great about the song is that he also says "There's a lot of me inside you. Maybe you're afraid to see." Gives me goosebumps...

@psychedelicfright85 Clinton was the best president we've had in the last decade, but he definitely did more wrong than just get head. I mean, he was the one that started to put us in debt to China. Yes, Bush started a rather expensive war, but Clinton also misused the military. Three words: Black Hawk Down. Watch that film, and tell me that wasn't a waste of American lives...

When are we going to wake up and realize all they are is a puppet to the 1%

@Shargrailar Clinton was a great president. All he did was get some fucking head, and people are against him for it still. He didn't start a pointless war.

in my opinion this stands for goverment, ceo's, and lots of people in power in genral. they get so used to winning and getting what the want that its never enough!!! they finally top out where they can not get any more or go any higher and thats when shit hits the fan!! the more they make the more they want and when they cand get anymore the get pissed. HUMBLE YOURSELFS YOU FUCKIN RETARDS

@ForteIIV -Bullseye, this is for the government all the way, sit on it Congress!!
