Mr. self destruct
Nine Inch Nails
The downward spiral (1994)

i am the voice inside your head and i control you
i am the lover in your bed and i control you
i am the sex that you provide and i control you
i am the hate you try to hide and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr. self destruct
i speak religion's message clear and i control you
i am denial guilt and fear and i control you
i am the prayers of the naive and i control you
i am the lie that you believe and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr. self destruct
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
you let me do this to you i am an exit
i am the needle in your vein
i am the high you can't sustain
i am the pusher, i'm a whore
i am the need in you for more
i am the bullet in the gun and i control you
i am the truth from which you run and i control you
i am a silencing machine and i control you
i am the end of all your dreams and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr. self destruct
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag ;you down i use you up
mr. self destruct
