"hard line bad luck fist fuck" makes no sense, but sounds cool when you scream it ... which is the whole point with 85% of NIN's lyrics, no?

true. it's pretty funny that the "fist fuck" line is what a lot of people have latched onto over the years. it's the one that people always shout along to, and a stadium full of doodz yelling "fist fuck" without any sense of humour is pretty hilarious. extra points if you pump your fist in time w/ trent.

trent is probably more responsible for nu-metal than faith no more or whoever people usually blame, but that's ok. this song completely rulez.

I mean, it would be so easy for someone to take the components that make this song up and arrange them into a competent noisy/industrial/metal/whatever jam. (fixed ep proves this.) but if you listen to the version on broken, everything just fits together perfectly, no time is wasted, and there are all these cool little sonic touches.

Sadly I couldn't disagree more.

I can still get with "Fixed," I am discovering.

Although it mostly makes me want to listen to Ministry.
