I personally always enjoy this song, especially the lyrics. And the new version of this song also by NIN is great! Except for the fact they cut out the last part of the lyrics.
Sadly I had to wait a while to fully appreciate this album, I was too young when this came out (est. 1986) so I only enjoyed for a while what was on the radio in the early 90s. But I'm glad it struck a nerve enough to come back and haunt me in the late 90s...
(According to google) Just when everything was making sense You took away all my self confidence Now all that I've been hearing must be true I guess I'm not the only boy for you How could you turn us into this? After you just taught me how to kiss you I told you I'd never say goodbye I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry But that's what I get (That's what I get) Why does it come as a surprise? To think that I was so naive Maybe didn't mean that much But it meant everything to me
Im a die hard hip hop and R&B guy who grew up in the mid 80s to late 90s as a teen and I remember in middle school I dissed and dismissed most alternative music and specifically dissed on Nine Inch Nails. Until the film Prayer of the Rollerboys with Corey Haim came out. It had head like a hole on the soundtrack and in the film. Immediately was drawn to it and now, 30 years later almost I consider this albun Pretty Hate Machine in its entirety to be in my top 5 albums of all time

His voice in this song sounds disturbingly similar to the 80s Leonardo from ninja turtles.... kinda like Jim Morrison sounds like Fred Flintstone and Billy Corgan sounds like Pee Wee Herman... only in certain songs though. Love all of them and people will want me dead for putting these comparisons in their head lol...
When I was 16 I was in a juvenile detention center called George junior republic and I met Trent reznors aunt there, she was a staff member. She got me his autograph. Still have it
HairyHog lol u have impeccable standards for lyrics. How about you write lyrics that blows us all away and submit them to trent reznor. Seeing as you have superior lyrical knowledge i am sure everyone will be very impressed. We'll be waiting.
jknochel76 Trent himself has said this song sucks lol But I don't think he even put effort, I think the guy was really just singing whatever he was truly feeling at the moment
A lot of musicians will tell you lyrics are secondary and or complimentary of the composition rather than the focus of the piece. I honestly love the super melodramatic lyrics against the amazingly hard/industrial/synth instrumental.
ummmm......exactly.......shut the hell up already.....jesus christ 9 out of 10 actual people don't give a damn.....that's factual.....sorry about your luck
Trent has a way of speaking to his audience in such a relatable way. He is truly one of a kind.
OMG. That synthesizer riff near the end of the song is TO DIE FOR! It makes me cry so deep.
absolutely...
Same here! That part really stuck with me.
Righteous 😭
u have issues
The most underrated tune on here. The build up of this song is incredible. Once it gets to 3:14 crank it up. You'll get it lol
Oh shit yes.
he's was quoted in interview saying that this song sucks but how can anyone deny the raw emotionocean

Gerald Gomez Where can i find the new version of this song?
what the fuck trent
Does kinda suck compared to the other works lol but still lovely
I suppose you could say that's what he gets.........
The build up at the end SO AMAZING!

Well done there David Otero.
From 0:00 to 0:34 anyone else reminded that it sounds like a NES or an 8bit era computer game?
my life today right now is every word he says.
is that a downer
Great song! Hard to believe this song came into being in 1989. cheers.

First fuckin heavy metal band!! They are magic.😎. Been with them awhile. That's what I get reminds me that you can always screw something up.
Thanks for the high quality!
Excellent fucking song. Excellent fucking album
The Cure lyrics + Depeche Mode beats= NIN
Sounds like psyche - misery
This song and Terrible Lie are my 2 favorite tracks on this awesome fucking album
3;40 is damn sensational love dem synths
That's my favourite part too really lifts the song up
Me too! It sparks memories of when I was 21 listening to it with someone I grew close to.
Always thought the beginning of the Memento soundtrack sounded like the part at 2:47. Wonder if it was inspiration.
I don't care what anyone says,my man Trent SNAPPED on this song. Highly underrated jam.
This bring back memories ......perpetual memories....
One of the best!
THAT'S WHAT I GET!!!
Yeah it’s more than amazing when the debut concert for Pretty Hate Machine was 1988. I was still in my 30’s WOW
Hey Bro, Yo Breaf Stank ...real Bat
Perfection.
Sounds just like Psyche - Misery
His voice in this song sounds disturbingly similar to the 80s Leonardo from ninja turtles.... kinda like Jim Morrison sounds like Fred Flintstone and Billy Corgan sounds like Pee Wee Herman... only in certain songs though. Love all of them and people will want me dead for putting these comparisons in their head lol...
Now that you mention it he DOES sound like Leonardo from the old TMNT shows. Interesting.
thanks for pointing that out. wow. He does sound like Leonardo in this.
I was listening to this song and cooking while drinking a beer and spilled my beer... that's what I get
great quality
When I was 16 I was in a juvenile detention center called George junior republic and I met Trent reznors aunt there, she was a staff member. She got me his autograph. Still have it
The ultimate answer to cyberbullying weirdos. Too many of them about.
Wish i could find an instrumental to this. All that pops up is Paramore LOL.
💯lovely 💕
The song that plays when i fall for a woman.
I named my son trent when I was 16 he was born when I was 24 lol real talk
I thought this song was called pretty hate machine for the longest time
This song is about ME gettin' locked up for 7 months & "that's what I get !" 😁 lol
the Intro sounds like Golden Eye 64
It will turn out ok don’t worry ❤ 1994-2023 🖤
Are you sure... this is what you want?
No... but that's what I get.
The background world
Man teenagers these days are missing out

Hi
My bad...1988. Not 1989. cheers.
I believe you where right , the album did came out in 1989 along with every commercial hit on it and video on pretty hate machine
Really? Then 'my bad' again Daniel-Herrera-Mata. I thank you for the correction.Btw, a very cool song.
PHM was 1989 acvutally. Im just here to annoy you 2 years later d00d
what you know about this ####
it's too bad the lyrics on this suck so much, because the actual instrumental of the song is amazing
