The live version found on Beside You In Time.
Music Video
The video for "Burn" is similar to the various screen projections used throughout Nine Inch Nails tours. Directied by Hank Corwin and Reznor, it features images of people, nature, and general destruction and decay interspersed with images from the film and Reznor singing. The video incorporates clips from Natural Born Killers and is filmed in such a way that the video mimics the film. According to IMDB.com, the Natural Born Killers clips are actually footage that was cut from the film.
Live
The song has become a staple of the live performances. It features heavy synthesizer parts that render the intro almost unrecognizable.
Lyrics
This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world gonna have to pay
Well I don't believe in your institutions
I did what you wanted me to
And like the cancer in your system
I've got a little surprise for you
Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there?
Did you not realize?
This thing inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn
I look down at where you're standing
Flock of sheep all on display
With all your lies piled up around you
I can take it all away
Something inside of me
Has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there?
Did you not realize?
This thing inside of me
It screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
I'm gonna burn this whole world down
I never was a part of you
I am your savior
I am corruption
I am the angel
Of your destruction
I am perversion
Secret desire
I am your future
Swallowed up in fire
