Ahead of Ourselves - Nine Inch Nails

Everything all figured out

Like it was meant to be

We’re on the precipice (I can feel it)

We’re on the precipice

Created us in his image

Better be proud of his work

That is if he existed (not so sure anymore)

That is if he existed

And we just can’t help ourselves

And we just can’t help ourselves

And we just can’t help ourselves

And we just can’t help ourselves (I don’t think that’s me)

Obsolete, insignificant

Antiquated, irrelevant

Celebration of ignorance

Why try change when you know you can’t?

Did you ever get that feeling?

Man, I can’t seem to shake it

Not quite as clever as we think we are

Knuckle dragging animal

When we could have done anything

We wound up building this

We deserve

With illusions of enlightenment

With our snouts in the dirt

With our snouts in the dirt

Obsolete, insignificant

Antiquated, irrelevant

Celebration of ignorance

Why try change when you know you can’t?

We got ahead of ourselves

We got ahead of ourselves

We got ahead of ourselves

We got ahead of ourselves
