About
Head Like A Hole was the first commercial success Trent Reznor had and recieved wide radio rotation at the time. Though Trent doesn't dislike the song, he was quite suprised it became as big as it did, especially due to its relatively easy writing process compared to some of the lesser recognized tracks on Pretty Hate Machine ("That's What I Get" and "Kinda I Want To" most notably).

Music video
Not album track, but rather the (Clay) mix of the song. Heavy flashing of text/numbers and spinning things. Two guys on drums. Trent hangs from a big mess of wires.
Performed live
It has appeared in almost every concert that Nine Inch Nails has performed since its appearance and has become a staple part of the live set.
During the Lollapalooza 1991 Tour, various guitarists from other bands (such as Ice-T of Body Count) would come out onstage to perform with the band. YouTube video
"Head Like A Hole" is usually the last song of the show (With Teeth era) or last song before the encore (Self Destruct and Fragility era). At the end, the band usually destroy their instruments.

Lyrics
God Money I’ll do anything for you
God Money just tell me what you want me to
God Money nail me up against the wall
God Money don’t want everything he wants it all
No you can’t take it
No no you can’t take it
(You can’t take that away from me)
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You’re going to get what you deserve
God Money’s not looking for the cure
God Money’s not concerned about the sick among the pure
God Money let’s go dancing on the backs of the bruised
God Money’s not one to choose
No you can’t take it
No no you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Head like a hole
Black as your soul
I’d rather die than give you control
Bow down before the one you serve
You’re going to get what you deserve
You know who you are
