About
Mr. Self Destruct is the first song off The Downward Spiral. It begins with a sample from the film THX 1138, and immediately picks up with a very up-temp and aggressive first verse.
Performed live
Often used to open shows during the later Self Destruct tours. It begins with a much faster drum beat intro than the album version and features heavy amounts of guitar feedback at various points in the song. During the Pre-Year Zero Tour (and possibly the With_Teeth tours), Alessandro Cortini joins the rest of the band at the front of the stage playing guitar only to immediately return to the back when the song is finished.
Lyrics
I am the voice inside your head and I control you I am the lover in your bed and I control you I am the sex that you provide and I control you I am the hate you try to hide and I control you I take you where you want to go I give you all you need to know I drag you down I use you up Mr. Self-destruct I speak religion's message clear and I control you I am denial guilt and fear and I control you I am the prayers of the naive and I control you I am the lie that you believe and I control you I take you where you want to go I give you all you need to know I drag you down I use you up Mr. Self-destruct I am the needle in your vein and I control you I am the high you can't sustain and I control you I am the pusher I'm a whore and I control you I am the need you have for more and I control you I am the bullet in the gun and I control you I am the truth from which you run and I control you I am the silencing machine and I control you I am the end of all your dreams and I control you I take you where you want to go I give you all you need to know I drag you down I use you up Mr. Self-destruct
