Supernaut

'Supernaut' is a song originally written and recorded by Black Sabbath and covered by Ministry side project 1000 Homo Djs. Several versions of the song exist, and though Trent Reznor recorded the original vocals for the song, several debates exist as to which version contains his contributions, as he remains uncredited on official releases due to contractual spats with TVT Records.

Appearances

The only version of 'Supernaut' which is properly credited with Trent's vocals appears on TVT's Black Box collection. Due to Al Jourgensen's often incoherent and inconclusive interviews, it is hard to determine whether other versions of the song have rerecorded vocals with a similar inflection, or are just Trent's vocals run through a distortion filter.

Lyrics

Italics indicate pre-recorded backing tracks and speech samples.

Practially every one of the top 40 records being played on
every radio station in the united states is a communication to the
Children to take a trip, to cop out, to groove. the psychedelic
Jackets on the record albums have their own hidden symbols and
Messages as well as the lyrics to all the top rock songs and they all
Sing the same refrain: its fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun
But I dont need to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
And find a distant man a-waving his spoon

Supernaut
Supernaut

I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the crossing near a golden rainbows end
I've been through magic and through lifes reality
I've lived a thousand years and it never bothered me

Bothered me
Supernaut
Bothered me
Supernaut

They all sing the same refrain:
It's fun to take a trip, put acid in your veins.

25 seconds
20 seconds and counting
15 seconds, guidence is internal
12, 11, 10, 9
Ignition sequence starts
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Got no religion, dont need no friends
Got all I want and I got no need to pretend
Dont try to reach me, cause I'd tear up your mind
Ive seen the future and I leave it all behind
