}}'''"Meet Your Master"''' is the eleventh track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]].''
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]]. 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>).
===Meet Your Master===
This is the original album version.
===Meet Your Master (Instrumental)===
'''''Running Time: 4:13'''''
This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by [[Trent Reznor]] through his [[remix.nin.com]] account.
===Meet Your Master: The Faint===
'''''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.
==Live==
"Meet Your Master" has yet to be made its live debut at the [[2008/07/29 Calgary, AB|Calgary, Alberta]], show on July 29, 2008, and was only played livetwice more on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]]. It also made rare appearances on the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]].
==Lyrics==
You'll put on this blindfold
You'll do what we tell you
You'll do as your you're told
Used to be the leader
Now comes the time to serve
The following lyric is repeated to the end of the song:
Come on down
