==Versions====Versions=Sanctified===The album version of the song begins with a programmed drum beat featuring prominent toms and atmospheric sounds created by guitar. The body of the song is dominated by a slap bassline atop this atmosphere and drum loop, joined by strumming guitars for the chorus. The bridge features Gregorian chant [[samples]] and dialog from the film ''Midnight Express'', though the film sample was excised on the 2010 remaster of ''Pretty Hate Machine''. The end of the song is comprised of a synth pad and a guitar drone (created by [[Richard Patrick]]), accompanied by another sample, which lower in pitch and winds down, segueing directly into "[[Something I Can Never Have]]." On the 2010 remastered vinyl edition, this song ends the first side; as such, the ending sample is removed, and the descending synth pad fades out.

===Lyrics===Present on the ''Demos & Remixes'' [[bootlegs|bootleg]], it has the same tone as the ''Pretty Hate Machine'' version while including a dialog sample and alternate sounds during the bridge, an alternate lyric near the end, and a sample at the very end with a man saying, "Hold on to hope even when it's hopeless, and you'll see your life begin to change." There also exists a version (with a running time of 5:33) from a cassette tape handed out by Reznor to important figures. One of these cassettes is in the possession of [[Martin Atkins]], who has allowed fans to hear playbacks. Based on what fans have heard, this is the same demo.

if she says come inside iThe song begins with a shouted four count with drumsticks before hitting into the song. It is played slightly faster than other versions of the track, and all the effects are at a higher octave, giving it a much brighter mood. The intro also features the guitar riff used during the choruses. It contains samples similar to what appear on the demo version. The track segues directly into the next song on the album, "[[Maybe Just Once]]", where the beginning of a sample (from the movie ''Diner'll come inside for her if she says give it all i'll give everything to her) is present.
