Head Like a Hole
Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got money, just tell me what you want me to.
Got money, nail me up against the wall.
Got money, don't want anything,
He wants it all.
You can't take it,
No, you can't take it,
No, you can't take it,
I said you can't take it,
You can't take that away from me.
Well, 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 contro-o-woah-o-woah.
Bow down before
The one you serve.
You're gonna get
What you deserve.
Got money, he's not lookin' for a cure.
Got money, he's not concerned about the sick among the pure.
Got money, let's go dancin' on the backs of the bruised!
Got money, he's not one to choose.
Oh, you can't take it,
No, you can't take it,
No, you can't take that away from me.
No, you can't take it,
Don't even try to take it,
'Cause 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 contro-o-woah-o-woah.
Bow down before
The one you serve.
You're gonna get
What you deserve.
[Spoken]
Darlin', honeypie,
You know I love you more than words can say...
But there's something I need to tell ya...
It's about your head.
Lately it's been looking a lot like -- well, kind of like a hole, actually.
It's all big, and black, and empty...
And...to be honest, it kinda reminds me of your soul.
And then when you take all of that
And combine it with the way you're trying to get me to give you control, well,
I'd rather die!
Bow down before
The one you serve.
You're gonna get
What you deserve.
Bow down before (Bow down before!)
The one you serve. (The one you serve..)
You're gonna get (You're gonna get, now)
What you deserve.
Ahhh...ahhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhh.........ahh you got a head like a hole!
The song "Head Like a Hole" by Honest Bob and the Factory-to-Dealer Incentives is a clear critique of the wealthy and powerful who use their money and influence to control and manipulate others. The lyrics suggest that the singer would rather die than give this person control, indicating the extent to which their behavior is seen as oppressive and intolerable.
The song is characterized by its repetitive and driving beat, which reinforces the feeling of being trapped and controlled. The opening lines, which repeat the phrase "Got money," establish the theme of the song and suggest how much power the wealthy possess. The singer is willing to do anything for this person, to be "nailed up against the wall," and to dance on the backs of the bruised, all in the pursuit of wealth and influence.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is not interested in being controlled or manipulated in this way. They assert their own power and autonomy, declaring that "No, you can't take it, you can't take that away from me." The repeated line "Bow down before the one you serve" emphasizes the power dynamic at play, and the idea that the wealthy and powerful must be held accountable for their actions.
Overall, "Head Like a Hole" is a powerful and incisive critique of the ways in which wealth and power can be used to oppress and control others. It speaks to the importance of standing up for oneself and resisting the forces of oppression, no matter what the cost.
