The composition of "The Greater Good" is remarkably similar to "The New Flesh," including the repeating, overlapping lyrics.

Appearances

Halos

Survivalism
Year Zero

Versions

The Greater Good

This is the original album version.

The Greater Good (Instrumental)

This instrumental is on the Survivalism single. The only significant differences between this and the original are a lack of vocals and an additional 10 seconds of the synth line without the drums at the beginning. This may be because the synth line starts during the last few seconds of "Meet Your Master" in the Year Zero version.

Lyrics

    Breathe us in
    Slowly
    Slowly

    Persuasion
    Coercion
    Submission
    Assimilation

    Welcome to your new point of view
    We have disappeared into you
    
    4
    Everything you do
    Everywhere you go
    Anything we want
    Anything
    
    5
    Now it's all just a matter of time
