}}'''"Survivalism"''' is the third track and the first single from the 2007 album ''[[Year Zero]].''
===Survivalism===
Found on ''Year Zero'' as well as the ''Survivalism'' single and promo. Characterized by much synthetic layering and a consistent eighth note drum machine pulse, matched by a single note bass riff that begins on the second eighth and ends on the eighth before repeating. This gives the song an apparent metric shift one eighth note forward, though the first downbeat of each measure is actually in the space between the stop and start of the bass and guitar riff. The chorus features many layers of group vocals, including some by Saul Williams. After the final chorus, a new guitar riff leads off a coda that builds in layers of drones until suddenly stopping and leading into "[[The Good Soldier]]."
