→‎Live: it's "who do you think you're fooling?"
==Live==
"Terrible Lie" is often the opening song of Nine Inch Nails shows following an introduction, which may be "[[Now I'm Nothing]]" ([[Lollapalooza]] '91, [[Wave_Goodbye_Tour#NIN.2FJA_2009|NIN/JA 2009]]) or, often, a manipulated pre-recorded version of "[[Pinion]]." The live version typically omits the keyboard and bass harmony for the first half of the first chorus, a feature of the [[Terrible_Lie#Terrible_Lie_.28Sympathetic_Mix.29|Sympathetic mix]]. The ending of the song is extended when performed live and is often concluded with Reznor screaming "you promised me," followed by a repeatedly. A brief sample of the words "will who do you forgive methink you're fooling?" heard clearly often surrounded the song in [http://www.4shared.com/file/101153106/9c4183de/forgiveme_sample_shallowgrave.html this] example performances prior to the Fragility tour, most often at the end of the song (though also used at the start of the song on ''Pretty Hate Machine'' tours as the start of the song emerged from the bootleg [[Shallow Grave]]sample collage). The variation performed on the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]] is mostly the same as the version introduced during [[Live: With Teeth]]. However, as the live band is now only 4 members, all synthesizer parts are absent, leaving only loud guitar riffs (this is most noticeable in the chorus, and right before the outro where there is usually a 'hammer-synth' countermelody played over the chorus progression). Due to the hectic nature of the song, the band will often destroy instruments and/or the stage during the song. This can be seen in the 1989-1991 footage that was added as an appendage to the "DVD" version of ''[[Closure]]''.
During the [[Live: With Teeth]] tours, [[Aaron North]] plays a short solo during the last few moments of the song. This is a short, three note repeating solo.
