Nine Inch Nails - Less Than Lyrics






Focus?
We didn't even notice
We awake in a place
We can barely recognize, yeah
Hypnosis

And you can justify it all
Your back is up against the wall again

Shut up, silence
Add a little violence
And offend and pretend
And defend and demand my compliance

And you can always justify
The missile trails across the sky again

So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than?
Go and look what you gone done
Welcome oblivion
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than?

Needful
Too many fucking people
You'll have to take care of yourselves
You know I've got my hands full

And you can always justify
The missile trails across the sky again

So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than?
And look what you gone done
Come on welcome oblivion
Did it fix what was wrong inside?
Are you less than?

So what are you waiting for?
You got what you asked for
Did it fix what was wrong with you?
Are you less than? (Are you less than? Less than?)
And look what you gone done
Well, welcome oblivion
Did it fix what was wrong inside?
Are you less than?

    Everyone here should buy the game in the video, it's a VR game called Polybius and seeing it in 2d in a video and not full 3D in huge reality is a crime against humanity! Buy the game and let it blow your fucking mind, it obviously blew Trent's mind!

    Gaming Addiction, welcome oblivion.

  35. �.... �....

    Stupid ass music video

  36. S.... P....

    Goddamn console players! PC Master Race! o7

  37. M.... P....

    I love when art leads to art. Besides the legend of Polybius, the awesome hookup from the game dev there's also all the little things that remind me of nin videos throughout the years. Awesome

  38. Z.... Z....

    Pay attention. The checkerboards, the triangles, the stars, the left eye .....

  39. Z.... Z....

    They use this song for MK programming.

  40. N.... B....

    I'm the queen of the universe bitch. Love me.

  41. T.... ....

    Me when playing the zone mode of WipEout Fusion.

  42. R.... P....

    I just had an ego death this week.

  43. I.... M....

    I'm prolly just tripping, the fucking joysticks turned into her eyes as they went grey along with the hand pushing through the screen I don't care I fucking LOVE IT.

  44. R.... W....

    Love this song cause it has the intro from vice city

  45. R.... W....

    For new nine inch nails this is pretty amazing

  46. R.... P....

    brilliant

  47. J.... B....

    I really really wish he'd said came for instead of asked for. It seems like it would fit way better. That's just me though. I'm always singing that instead.

  48. J.... B....

    Did it fix what was wrong with u? Are you less than? I was named after Robert Downy Jr's character in Less Than Zero. After I saw the movie I hated my dad for the name but I also love my name.

  49. F.... Y....

    Awesome track, but I actually really want to play this game - it looks like Rollcage / Firebugs meets Rez and I want it damnit!

    Actually, a game like Rez with a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack sounds fucking incredible XD

  50. L.... D....

    AVGN warned of this game

  51. P.... S....

    Lol good

  52. N.... ....

    I know it is not Aubrey Plaza in this video who I admire, but this could very likely invoke the LEGION series

  53. M.... S....

    FUCKING DISTRACTIONS!

  54. D.... S....

    So the soundtrack to the Vietnam War doc is better then any new NIN! Certainly better then anything they’ve put out in the last 10 years!

    D.... S....

    oh you mean the sound track loaded with Nine Inch Nails instrumentals? fuck off.

  55. a.... ....

    kind of a song for the griefers of the world. they're not happy, but if everyone else is miserable then they can feel life is normal.

    a.... ....

    Weird, the message I get from this after learning about Polybius is: "Now that you've removed your ability to feel sad, do you really feel better..?"

    Because honestly, that's what a demon is in most perceptions. An individual with no remorse simply because they couldn't feel such a thing.

  56. C.... B....

    It's what's playing at my cubicle at a volume just shy of getting fired.

  57. C.... M....

    REV.9x9 - 'POLYBIUS'

    "193223?371217?13431818?33263929?"

  58. �.... w....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍✨

  59. C.... J....

    You got what you asked for. Here comes nuclear war.

  60. J.... B....

    I like this song more and more every time I hear it...

  61. g.... M....

    I am nothing

  62. H.... C....

    i wanna play the game in this video

  63. D.... G....

    OMG THE TV ATTACK THE LADY, RUN AWAY LADY!

  64. L.... ....

    I’d like to send my condolences to Trent and the nin team that had their masters recently lost in a fire on the universal lot most likely because like the idiots they are they probably stored it next to the highly volatile 35mm film of the early movies in the 1900s because of this oversight their, Nirvana guns and roses and many others lost a large collection of their masters I believe most all nirvanas masters are gone with the wind now, let’s all say thanks universal!!!

  65. B.... H....

    I am here because of my diabeetus

  66. M.... T....

    lol he's got his hand s full. lolololololo. lol. he's got his hands full. take care of yo self.

  67. M.... D....

    It really would be great if Trent went headhunting and impromtuded over some of the vaporwave channels
    Just cycle logic graffiti.....

    Mmmn please .....
    Heh!!!!!

  68. B.... P....

    I have an irrational amount of love for this song.

  69. w.... ....

    Listening LESS THAN and The Hand That Feeds at the same time, awesome that both end up at the same time... something strange is happening here...

    w.... ....

    Omfg youre right. They're both exactly the same length.

  70. L.... S....

    less than

  71. g.... d....

    God that distorted droning guitar is so awesome
    I. CAN'T. STOP. LISTENING.

  72. m.... ....

    Everything is so very distinctive. I was working yesterday and the neighbor was demoing the adjoining apartment and I could still tell what he was listening to that came through the wall from Nine Inch Nails.

  73. N.... B....

    I feel "less than" when my employees come into work calling me crazy... They just aren't Alaskan (beaver bikini)

  74. m.... K....

    Sound and perfect existence

  75. h.... ....

    Revisiting this masterpiece 2 years later.

  76. S.... ....

    Is my headphone weird or the video sounds like was uploaded ten years ago

  77. s.... m....

    God that distorted droning guitar is so awesome
    Trent we have to go get your brain back from those vampires

  78. W.... T....

    Does anyone have a clue? What is he talking about cellphone brains?

  79. M.... T....

    Trent we have to go get your brain back from those vampires

  80. K.... P....

    This video is hypnotic...

  81. E.... D....

    Why the fuck are there 2k dislikes? Boomers?

  82. �.... V....

    Video is not that bad for a teenagers audience but it is a pretty boring pop song. NIN always been a big overhyped fart and this definitely confirm they are commercial whores.

    �.... V....

    Sounds like you're just hating, but what do I know. Nails isn't even pop my guy, you're looking for the Jonas Brothers.

    �.... V....

    Coreh Martinushkevich let me give you a cent of music culture: it's a song that defines a genre, not the artist. This is a POP song.
    Nobody can tell it's NIN even knowing them well as I do. Techically this track could have been made by any anonymous artist with Garage Band.
    Also it's exactly what I tried to say. NIN turned POP to appeal the dumb audience of today, that takes every critic and dislike as 'hate'

    �.... V....

    @᚛ Vyper ᚜ I think you may have misunderstood me, I disagree in the highest.

  83. s.... ....

    Everyone came for nin, and though i like mr reznor , im here for the absolute and utter original legend bedroom coder that is Jeff Minter!

  84. S.... N....

    Does anyone know another song like this, I fell in love with it

    S.... N....

    There's no one else like Nine Inch Nails. They're in a league of their own.

    S.... N....

    You might like Head Like A Hole.

    S.... N....

    If you're looking for those guitar-walls, that's a whole genre - shoegaze and some postrock bands.
    But they don't fuse it with synths. If it's the combination of both you're looking for, i can really only think of this song and head like a hole.

    S.... N....

    The Fragile is good, and Bad Witch is good too.

  85. B.... A....

    She's playing you like a video game, a very dangerous game that is. Polybius.
    Loving this song!
    God that distorted droning guitar is so awesome
    God that distorted droning guitar is so awesome
