the hand that feeds

you’re keeping in step
in the line
got your chin held high and you feel just fine
because you do
what you’re told
but inside your heart it is black and it’s hollow and it’s cold

just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you want to change it?

what if this whole crusade’s
a charade
and behind it all there’s a price to be paid
for the blood
on which we dine
justified in the name of the holy and the divine

just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you want to change it?

so naïve
to keep holding on to what I want to believe
i can see
but i keep holding on and on and on and on

will you bite the hand that feeds you?
will you stay down on your knees?

a dj for a radio station in arizona, which has already played the hand that feeds, has been quoted as saying the new nin album will be the biggest thing that has happened in music in the past 15 years. wow, thats quite a statement. 15 years ago, nirvana’s nevermind topped michael jacksons dangerous, turning the music industry upside down. chances are, that won’t happen again, sorry. the samething was probably said about the fragile.
anyway, i am looking foward to tuesday when, according to the rumors, the hand that feeds will hit the airwaves — for real.
