In most performances in the pre-''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' eras, the songs starts with similar high pitched squeals as it does in the performance music video for the song. The [[Live: With Teeth]] arrangement started with [[Alessandro Cortini]] playing the synthesized bassline twice, stopping for eight bars of the drum pattern before the band launched directly into the first verse. Reznor typically starts the song with the spoken lyrics "C'mon you pigs... march!".
From 2009 to 2025, [[Ilan Rubin]] left the drum set to play the song's two piano interludes before rushing back to continue on drums when the song kicks back in. After Rubin's departure from the band at the end of the first leg of the [[Peel It Back Tour]], this part was played by [[Alessandro Cortini ]] for the second leg, and by Reznor for the third leg following Cortini's departure.
