Changes

The song has always been performed with the beep melody as an introduction, though sometimes without the machine loop collage. During the second quiet bridge, Reznor often sings "please don't hurt me," followed by a desperate cry. Reznor sometimes alters the final line of the first verse to say "a thousand lovers" instead of "a thousand others." During the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle|Self Destruct tours]], the band would be bathed in green light and reptilian "scales" would be projected onto them. On the [[Year Zero Warm-Up Tour]], the intro was further extended with a more articulate sound and Reznor whispering over it.
