}}'''"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 (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" made its live debut at the [[2008/07/29 Calgary, AB|Calgary, Alberta]], show on July 29, 2008, and was only played twice more on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]]. It also made rare appearances on the [[Wave Goodbye Tour]].
