von Nine Inch Nails

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"The Hand That Feeds" von Nine Inch Nails ist ein kritischer Song, der die Idee der Konformität und des blinden Gehorsam...

You're keeping in step,
And in line.
Got your chin held high,
And you feel just fine.
Cause 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 wanna change it?

What if this whole crusade's
A charade.
And behind it all,
There's a price to be paid.
For the blood,
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 wanna change it?

So naive,
I keep holding on to what I wanna 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
