God Given [2008-09-02 Morrison, Colorado] Songtext
von Nine Inch Nails

Hey man, please don′t make a sound
Take a look around, can't you see what′s right in front of you?
Ah, have a little taste, no more time to waste
You don't wanna get left behind, 'cause it′s all coming down right now

How hard is it to see? Put your faith in me
I sure wouldn′t want to be praying to the wrong piece of wood
You should get where you belong
Everything you know is wrong
Come on, sing along, everybody now God given

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We′re the chosen ones


I would never tell you anything
That wasn't absolutely true
That hadn′t come right from His mouth
And He wants me to tell you

Wait, step into the light
How can this be right?
I'm afraid we′re gonna ask you to leave
Guess you cannot win with the color of your skin
You won't be getting into the promised land

So it's just another case
You people still don′t know your place
Step aside, out the way, wipe that look off your face
′Cause we are the divine, separated from the swine
Come on, sing along, everybody now God given

And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We′re the chosen ones


And He gives us sight
And we see the light
And it burns so bright
Now we know we're right
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
Now we′ve just begun
We're the chosen ones

I would never tell you anything
That wasn′t absolutely true
That hadn't come right from His mouth
And He wants me to tell you

God given

God given
