}}'''"Meet Your Master"''' is the eleventh track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]].''
===Theories===This In the album's [[Year_Zero#Alternate_Reality_Game|alternate reality game]], this song could be either from a government perspective, directed to the people, or from a resistance perspective directed to the government. The latter theory seems more apt, given the part of the lyrics quoted at [[Another Version Of The Truth (website)|Another Version Of The Truth]]message board by Che2. The lyrics might echo the commands of a guerrilla resistance group to a kidnapped bureaucrat (a la the kidnapping of Clive Owen's protagonist in <i>Children of Men</i>, or the similar scene in <i>Thank You for Smoking</I>).
Another theory is that these are the words of, or general feeling given by an encounter with [[The Presence]].

==Versions==
===Meet Your Master===
This is the original album version. It begins with complex and layered programmed drums, before a heavily glitched guitar part enters. The verse has a distorted bass guitar, and every vocal line of each verse has the first note being sung in falsetto. Bendy guitar chords enter as the verse moves along. The chorus has the distorted bass guitar up front in the mix, the glitchy guitar returns, and it ends with a multi-layered vocal on the "meet your master" line. The same multi-layered vocal approach is used on the second chorus. The breakdown features a high-pitched guitar figure with a string sample underneath. The outro finishes the same way the track began.
===Meet Your Master (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 3:35'''''
This song is on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' The vocals have some distortion in them and are heard over an electronic beat. It reminiscent of The Orb's remix of "[[The Perfect Drug (song)|The Perfect Drug]]"." The instrumentation is slightly different, without any of the guitar elements heard in the original.
