Ahead of Ourselves Songtext
von Nine Inch Nails

Everything all figured out
Like as it′s 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

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, we got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves, we got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves, we got ahead of ourselves


We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves
We got ahead of ourselves, we got ahead of ours-
