==Versions==
===Discipline (Album version)===
The track opens with a disco style drum pattern, followed by a heavily distorted synth bass. [[Trent Reznor]]'s vocals enter and the instrumentation remains generally the same until the second verse, when a bass guitar is used alternately with the synth bass and a piano melody enters. For the bridge, the drum pattern becomes more minimal and is accompanied only by the piano and some undistorted synth bass notes as Reznor's vocal gradually returns with a different lyrical section. The full instrumentation returns and the song continues this way until it fades out.
