Nine Inch Nails - Happiness In Slavery Lyrics

3:12 Holy Fuck!!!!!

It sucks that I can't tell people I like this song because of it's name.

A penis in savoury

1:36 is my favorite part 😃

Broken remains my all time favorite Nine Inch Nails album. It's industrial metal af. Trent Reznor is superb and genius. Love happiness in slavery.

i agree, though it was more an EP, not a full album, like pretty hate machine, etc

Broken is really where NIN was born.

Happiness...happiness

Happiness in Slavery

he thinks he knows what he wants.

Soilwork is the first of many of our friends and neighbors to write "A Predators Portrait".

A penis controls you

Most underrated NIN song

Not so sure its under rated

A garbage trash song.

@Bill Cooper Hmm, how so?

@Dank Starscream - Listen to this particular song as it speaks for itself, honesty a really horribly terrible song. For better songs listen to the Deep Purple song "Highway Star" live in Denmark. Also Black Sabbath, "Paranoid" and Ozzy Osbourne, "Crazy Train" live in Albany, NY. And BTO (Bachman Turner Overdrive), "Rolling Down the Highway", live. These are among my favorite songs...write them all down on a piece of paper and then look them up on YouTube. 😀👍

@Bill Cooper I usually assume only 12 year olds actually argue people opinions in music and refer to things as "trash" but your taste in music suggests you might actually be an adult.

Just remembered

don't open your eyes take it from me

This would've been a good soundtrack to the movie "they live"

This song was better when they played it live in '94 with the guitar solo after the quietness.

Omg get over the nostalgia for fucks sake and enjoy the present. I just saw NIN perform Broken in its entirety then pulled off another hour of straight amazingness, mixing in today's hits like Only Me and classics like Terrible Lies and this song. They ended with Hurt and did NOT play Closer. I've literally been into them since I was skateboarding a Hasoi board as a kid. Enough with your elitist gatekeeper fart sucking. Fuck the fuck off and just ENJOY THE MUSIC you fucking fuck

The Great Communist Party of Vachina marches to this song.

this would be a great cover for a drum corp marching band type outfit... it would dischargze the powre !!!!

1992, a great fucking year.

Old school!

Stephen from Django's theme song

Hahaha... This is too much fun...🌪

swave scweams !!!

In the perfect world you find happiness in being a good person and helping others. In this world you find happiness in slavery.

I had the world's smallest violin lying around here somewhere -- which I obviously swiped from some unsuspecting fuck, mind you. Hold on a sec while I search for it... there's a song I want to play for you

@マニさん swing and a miss

Listened to during my life and again now, Strong Music, Rocks. Why is have to be true?

See beauty through my cubby hole

Suck my piness

This song is only complete with Bob Flanagan.

At least the video was on the Tube for... what, a fucking day before some shitstain reported it for inappropriate content?

Music video just got taken down, oh well :(

Wondered how long that would last.

Still on Vimeo tho 🤘

Just some flesh caught on this big broken machine

been about 25 years since i heard this album but is still the best fucking part of this song. in my 40's now but that shit brings me back.

Slave screams he think he knows what he wants
Slave screams thinks he has something to say
Slave screams he hears but doesn't want to listen
Slave screams he's being beat into submission
Don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
The devils of truth steal the souls of the free
Don't open your eyes take it from me
I have found
You can find
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Slave screams he spends his life learning conformity
Slave screams he claims he has his own identity
Slave screams he's going to cause the system to fall
Slave screams but he's glad to be chained to that wall
Don't open your eyes you won't like what you see
The blind have been blessed with security
Don't open your eyes take it from me
I have found
You can find
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness
I don't know what I am I don't know where I've been
Human junk just words and so much skin
Stick my hands through the cage of this endless routine
Just some flesh caught in this big broken machine
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery
Happiness in slavery (slavery)
Happiness in slavery (slavery)
Happiness in slavery (slavery)
Happiness in slavery (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness
Happiness (slavery)
Happiness (it controls why

Thanks Krusty.

The music video is one of the most shocking.

Did you see that NIN posted it yesterday without censoring and kept it without parental locks so kiddos could see it on Youtube?

It got taken down today but still!

@Billy No-Neck You can watch it on vimeo. I once owned the "Closure" nin music video compilation on VHS. That was a long time ago.

I was given the Broken movie on VHS in the 90's from a work friend and I felt really disturbed by it. Totally love the Broken ep musically, but in terms of video viewing...I was left in tears.

THIS SONG IS FUCKED UP!!! THE VIDEO IS FUCKED UP!!! THIS BAND IS FUCKED UP!!!.........and that's the way it should be

"the real world" is a prison, God and White Magic are the only way out, True Art is a form of Resistance against the beast system

@Dank Starscream I am an ancap personally (if you're a ancom I totally respect that but I'll politely agree to disagree with you on communism but that's just a small technicality if you still agree on anarchism). I don't think society will ever agree with that tho and I don't think our masters will ever allow us to break away without causing as much destruction and chaos to prevent that. I suggest if you can and want to, go off the grid as much as you can. I think the more we get sucked into government and media consumption, the more we get brainwashed and don't think for ourselves. They call television programing, "programing" for a reason. I thought the internet was the wild west and it was free from propaganda until I started seeing mass censorship of small truth channels and then big fringe conservatives like Alex Jones, Milo, Gavin McGinnis (think that's his name but I'm not a hundred percent sure I could be using the wrong last name) and now more mainstream conservatives and anti sjw liberals like Crowder, Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan appears to be attacked but I'm not entirely sure if he's just changing things for financial reasons. There's a lot of influence on the internet from media and government. NSA tracks all we do on here from what I understand. So as little as we interact with government, media and even the censored and monitored internet, the less influence and control it has on us. Not saying do the extreme and exile yourself out of society. I personally wouldn't mind that life if I had nothing to loose but in a perfect situation I'd have VPNs, a flip phone I change every month or two and I'd try to live pretty quietly in a rural home somewhere beautiful with lots of wild life and make money off doing things I love that I can sell off the grid without having big brother prying into my daily life and the plus is that I get to keep in contact with the family and I get to keep my beautiful and loving girlfriend and maybe future wife in my life.

@Dank Starscream I like music from less mainstream and older artists/bands cause they sing about things that they really think and it's not from ghost writers trying to make a hit song. Trent was like that for a while and I don't know if he's a complete sell out right now like most think he is. Think he just wants a good life for himself and his family so he's doing all the movie sound tracks cause it's both interesting to him and makes him decent money. Figured I'd mention that cause this is the video you found me under.

@Dank Starscream - If a person has "lots of money" (or gold) and/or self-sufficient on land then a person "CAN" escape the work slavery you are taking about. Also don't get into financial debt.

@Bill Cooper Much easier said than done, of course.

@Uphill-Evolution I'm against com and cap equally. Never in my comments here did I defend either systems, as I think they're both two sides of the same coin and thus fundamentally flawed to their core. Also, I already knew that about 'programming' and the N.S.A. One more thing...here's some advice: don't worship these online idols you mentioned in your post here, don't even hold them highly either. They're far from perfect themselves.


And yes, I wonder that about Trent as well.

Jason Sphinx I see you and your weird cyphers on all of these nin videos
