Capital G Songtext

von Nine Inch Nails

I pushed the button and elected him to office
He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long

I'm sick of hearing about the haves and have-nots
Have some personal accountabilty
The biggest problem with the way that we are doin' things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keepin for me

Well I used to stand for somthing
Well I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in the God of this war
And he signs his name with a Capital G

Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about
Ain't gonna worry about no future generations
And I'm sure somebody's gonna figure it out

Don't try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You hadn't had enough to know what its like
You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head 'cause you know that I'm right... alright!

Well I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to see
Well I used to stand for something
Well I'm on my hands and knees
Turning in the God of this war
And he signs his name with a Capital G
