Originally It was originally packaged with "[[Physical (You're So)]]" on a Mini mini CD sold included with the EP, it was later for the first pressing of 250,000 copies. On subsequent pressings, the two tracks were incorporated onto the EP as a hidden track after allegations that some music stores were removing tracks at the end of the Mini CD and selling it separatelydisc. "Suck" is track 99 on ''Broken'' , while "Physical (You're So)" is track 98. "Suck" was originally written and performed by [[Pigface]], a band lead by [[Martin Atkins]] featuring [[Trent Reznor]] as well as many other notable Industrial musicians. Other notable singers of the song within Pigface include [[Nivek Ogre]] of [[Skinny Puppy]], who even shared the song as a duet with Reznor. Since 1994, it has become one of the regular songs played by [[Nine Inch Nails]]. According to a previously unreleased interview Reznor did with ''Melody Maker'' magazine, "Suck" was supposed to be a "tongue-in-cheek" cover. The [[multitracks]] for the original Pigface version of the song were released for a remix contest.

==About==
"Suck" was originally written and performed by Pigface, a band lead by [[Martin Atkins]] and featuring Trent Reznor as well as many other notable industrial musicians. Other notable singers of the song within Pigface include Nivek Ogre of [[Skinny Puppy]], who even shared the song as a duet with Reznor. Since 1994, it has become one of the regular songs played by [[Nine Inch Nails]].
 
NIN recorded a new version of the track, as Reznor was unhappy with the original and felt that it was unfinished and too minimal.[http://www.compulsiononline.com/interview_nineinchnails.htm] The [[multitracks]] for the original Pigface version of the song were released for a remix contest. While this song appears on ''[[The Definitive NIN - The Singles]]'', it was never released as a single or promo.

==Versions==
===Suck===
This is the version found on the ''Broken'' EP. A loud and guitar-driven, screamed chorus contrasts with a danceable and funky verse throughout the song, mediated by a quiet, bass-led bridge that eventually builds into a loud synthesizer solo before the final chorus. Afterward, the song returns to the funky verse, but remains instrumental. The beat stops, then is cut up and spliced as Reznor whispers the final lyrics, ending the song.
===Throw This Away===
'''''Running Time: 4:13''''' This minimalist remix, found on ''Fixed,'' combines contains elements from both "[[Last]]" and "Suck." Opening with bubbling synthesizer loops, it mostly consists of the bass riff from the middle of "Suck," which is repeated throughout the track. Layered below it are various quiet vocal samples from both songs. Eventually, the drum beat featured at the very end of the original bridge in "Suck" is looped and fades in, eventually segueing directly into the ending of Butch Vig's mix of "Last."====Song Credits====*Remixed by Trent Reznor and Chris Vrenna (section A), Butch Vig (section B) ===Suck (Pigface ''Gub'' version)===This original recording, appearing on the Pigface album ''Gub'', features Reznor on guest vocals. Musically, the song is nothing like the Nine Inch Nails recordings of the song, characterized instead by drums and bass. Its multitracks were those released for a remix contest by Pigface. ===Suck (Live)===This live soundboard recording is from a Nine Inch Nails performance at an unknown date, likely from the [[LastSin_Tour|Sin]] or [[Hate_Tour|Hate]] tours. It was originally released on the [http://www.discogs.com/Various-TVT-Sampler-Summer-1991/release/1563615 TVT Sampler Summer 1991] cassette, but as that was a promo with limited distribution, it was popularized in the NIN fanbase by its inclusion on the ''[[Halo 00]]'' and, later, ''[[Demos and Remixes]]'' bootlegs. ===Suck (Pigface live version)===Released digitally on iTunes in 2006 on the album ''Live at Metropol - Pittsburg, PA 04/25/91'', and appearing earlier on the ''Glitch'' VHS and DVD. The iTunes version is in stereo and is possibly sourced from the soundboard. The video version is in mono and is likely sourced from in-camera audio. Trent Reznor is featured on guest vocals. It opens with a bass riff, has a different ending, and the recording is overall closer in sound to the Nine Inch Nails version, rather than the Pigface studio version."
===Suck (''And All That Could Have Been'')===
This live version is similar to the album version, but the ending is very differentshortened, with Reznor shouting "Suck!" repeatedly rather than singing the song's final lyricsor returning to the verse beat and bassline. Also, the line "I'm Jesus Christ on ecstasy", Trent changes to "I'm Jesus fuck on ecstasy".
===Suck (Pigface version)=Live==This is the original version of the song"Suck" made its live debut on [[1990/05/22 Palo Alto, CA|May 22, released in 1990]]. It features Reznor's vocals was played regularly at headlining, non-festival dates during the [[Pretty Hate Machine]] era, and became a dum backing, with live staple in the "suck, suck, suck" portion of set through the song performed in a whisper[[Wave Goodbye Tour]]. The track is 3:39 longSince then, it has only been played sporadically.
==Live=="Suck" was played occasionally during During the [[Pretty Hate MachineTour]] era, and has become it was played with a regular in song structure that closely mirrored the album version, although the set since middle "I am so dirty..." bridge featured beats and an ascending guitar riff instead. Since the [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle|Self DestructTour]] tour, it had been played like the album version, but ending after the last "Suck" chant and omitting the quieter outro.
==Lyrics==
Once I could see now I am blind
Don't want the dreams you try to sell
This disease I give it to myself
How does it feel?
I get too tight I come undone
I bow my head to confess
The Her temple walls are made of flesh
Runs up my arm till I'm on track
Itches the skin right off my back
Suck suck suck
I feel am so dirty on the inside
I am so dirty on the inside
