Nine Inch Nails - God Given Lyrics






Hey man, please don't make a sound
Take a look around, can't you see what's right in front of you?
Aah
Have a little taste, no more time to waste
You don't wanna get left behind cause it's all coming down right now

How hard is it to see?
Put your faith in me
I sure wouldn't want to be praying to the wrong piece of wood
You should get where you belong
Everything you know is wrong
Come on, sing along everybody now

God given

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
And His Kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We've just begun
We're the chosen ones

I would never tell you anything
That wasn't absolutely true
That hadn't come right from his mouth
And he wants me to tell you

Wait, step into the light
How can this be right?
I'm afraid we're going to ask you to leave
Guess you cannot win
With the color of your skin
You won't be getting in to the Promised Land
This is just another case
You people still don't know your place
Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
'Cause we are the divine
Separated from the swine

Come on, sing along, everybody now
God given

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
And His Kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We've just begun
We're the chosen ones
And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
And His Kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We've just begun
We're the chosen ones

I would never tell you anything
That wasn't absolutely true
That hadn't come right from his mouth
And he wants me to tell you

  1. N.... ....

    What's that song at the end?

  2. K.... A....

    Τhis song fucks ears

  3. S.... ....

    This and The Good Soldier are my absolute favorite tracks.

  4. S.... D....

    Someone please tell me if it's possible to get that riff at the end as it's own thing...

  5. w.... s....

    ' and it gives us sight, and we see the light, and it burns so bright '

  6. S.... L....

    An album that still feels fresh and evermore relevant, a digital sonic bamboozled onslaught on the senses and some of Trent's most poetic melodies! Always find myself returning to it, if anyone's interested I've done a tribute vid for God Given- https://youtu.be/J9KtAuySqDY

  7. k.... l....

    Заебись

  8. C.... B....

    Great album

  9. T.... S....

    If you're here, you will survive the apocalypse

  10. R.... N....

    what's the tune in the outro bumper at the end?

  11. D.... T....

    Trumpies!

  12. R.... K....

    1:36 best bit

    R.... K....

    I totally agree...that hesitation. So badass!

  13. b.... ....

    Come on, sing along! Everybody now! (God-given!)

  14. j.... m....

    just because someone says that god whispers naughty things in their ears doesn't exactly make it true - these are the people to be the most skeptical of. i wager that the current trends will turn into the modern day similarity of the Vatican's "holy wars" 2.0. it all starts with someone telling other people what to do and everyone else just plays follow the leader.

  15. j.... m....

    its not about politics, its about all religions and their inflated sense of self in regards to others - sarcasm goes a long way.

  16. j.... m....

    its not about politics, its about all religions and their inflated sense of self in regards to others

    j.... m....

    It's more about the rejection of Religion to search for truth.

  17. D.... P....

    it's coming to war people the leashes are already in place

  18. T.... D....

    ye$$$$$

  19. L.... ....

    Catchiest song on the album

    L.... ....

    oh, totally... lol!! they are all the same! I'm glad to see that someone else gets it.

    L.... ....

    The remix is so much catchier

  20. o.... m....

    the birthday massacre calling sent me here

    o.... m....

    orville monteiro barely sounds like it to me

    o.... m....

    It's sampled at the beginning; only really briefly though.

  21. I.... W....

    I love this album.

  22. S.... C....

    You idiots need to quit plastering your politics all over this music.
    Despite this song being related to politics, it doesn't mean you dimwits need to put your two cents in it. At least Trent is subtle about it!

    S.... C....

    First amendment , we can say whatever we want.

    S.... C....

    Its not about politics, its about religion. Watch the music video "black hole sun" by soundgarden to get a better idea of the passive-agressive/grungy mindset - after the last spiritual/judgemental of peoples with different mindsets movement I'd say that you types should see what I do, think about it or don't.

  23. g.... ....

    from 1:30 to 1:35 I just gotta imagine a heart emoji appearing at the end of that sentence.

  24. 6.... ....

    It's like the most extreme tenants of scary dogmatic American conservatives put to music.

    6.... ....

    Well, the album was written as Reznors complaints against the Bush administration.

    Im waiting for the Trump fueled Year 1...

    6.... ....

    Only without all the suger coating.

    6.... ....

    The Bushes are just like the Clinton.

    6.... ....

    I got a feeling that Trent hate Dubya more than Trump.

  25. K.... ....

    That album just gets more and more relevant...

    K.... ....

    My thoughts exactly

    K.... ....

    My thoughts exactly. Greetings from the dystopian year of 2019!

    K.... ....

    Reznor had a vision in mind when making this, remember that. He's made many prophetic songs in his career.

  26. N.... ....

    prepare to be hunted then, mortal.

  27. U.... ....

    your gay

    U.... ....

    you're stupid

    U.... ....

    UnholyDKsaeko you're"stf'bd've

    U.... ....

    Yuri is the best doki.

    U.... ....

    @bobs and vagene Doesn't Have Anything To Do With NIN But Yes She Is...

  28. A.... ....

    The whispering is: "I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true. That hadn't come right from His mouth and He wants me to tell you."

    And, yes, that is meant in a very cynical way ;)

  29. K.... T....

    hey we have the same friend!

  30. D.... S....

    That...

    Fuck, that made my my day.

  31. J.... M....

    what does he whisper at 1:30 - 1:37?

    J.... M....

    James Mackell "I would never tell you anything that wasn't absolutely true that hadn't come right from His mouth and He wants me to tell you."

    J.... M....

    Alypha Yveltal 😂

  32. r.... ....

    Your friend sounds gay then.

  33. r.... ....

    Vampires are gay

    r.... ....

    rintheskyking go warewolves

    r.... ....

    I’m gay. And if read Anne rice books you would be right in the money.

    r.... ....

    being gay is grayt

  34. I.... ....

    With Teeth is different to anything they've ever done. Much more simplistic songwriting and relived more heavily on being catchy. Still a great album. I think The Slip is reminiscent of With Teeth as well

    I.... ....

    Except this off of Year Zero?

  35. E.... L....

    there seems to be a large gulf between with_teeth and year zero as far as creativity goes. with_teeth seems to me to be an accumulation of a lot of material that needed a home. It was celebrated as the triumphant return of NIN. I didn't think so when it came out, even if I still think it's a good album in its own right. Year Zero sent those old NIN chills down my spine, and THAT, to me, signaled the return to form. With_Teeth is an important document. Year Zero is transcendent. I bought it.

  36. C.... G....

    @hizzlenizzle Have you ever seen the movie " Blade" the vampire hunter. In a part of one of those movies, he enters to a "night club" but just for vampires, and they are like dancing whit blood rain and all that stuff. I actually cant explain much because english is not my language, sorry hehe. But ya thats pretty much my idea, like music for vampires, like "night dance rock music". :)

  37. h.... ....

    @Cesargtzbarba Music for the vampires? How?

  38. J.... M....

    Dude people need to stop comparing bands who do not even have the same Genre. Like Nine inch nails And Korn. wtf there two completely different genres. both very creative with what they do.

  39. J.... M....

    @Cesargtzbarba Why?

  40. C.... G....

    I allways said that NIN is the music for vampires

  41. 0.... ....

    I dont give a fuck what number I am Im here to ENJOY THE MUSSSIIICCC!!!!!! YEAH!!! EVERYBODY NOW!

  42. h.... ....

    @filterfan23 THIRD!
