Head Like a Hole (Copper) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
God money I'll do anything for you
God money just tell me what you want me to
God money nail me up against the wall
God money don't want everything he wants it all
[Pre-Chorus]
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
[Chorus]
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
[Post-Chorus]
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
God money I'll do anything for you
God money just tell me what you want me to
God money nail me up against the wall
God money don't want everything he wants it all
[Pre-Chorus]
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
[Chorus]
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
[Post-Chorus]
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
[Verse 2]
God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
[Chorus]
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
Head like a hole, black as your soul
I'd rather die than give you control
[Post-Chorus]

You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
Bow down before the one you serve
You're going to get what you deserve
God money's not looking for the cure
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God money's not one to choose
[Pre-Chorus]
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me
No you can't take it
No you can't take it
No you can't take that away from me

About
Genius Annotation
Present on the Head Like a Hole single, the “Copper” remix seems to be a cut and paste of the various remixes before, containing bits and pieces, loops and interruptions of the other songs. It contains the dance beat of “Slate”, but has the layered guitar of the original version, as well as a slightly modified instrumental intro.
Its outro, unique to this mix, is the “Bow down before the one you serve / You’re going to get what you deserve” lyric over a swinging drum-machine loop sampled from “Body Language” by Queen. The drum loop includes part of a scream by Freddie Mercury.
