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'''" Another theory is that these are the eleventh track on the 2007 release ''words of, or general feeling given by an encounter with [[Year ZeroThe Presence]]''.

The lyrics for this song appear on the "another version Another Version of the truthTruth" message board posted by Che2. He says "didn't you get the memo?" Post #04 

This is the only known 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. ====Song Credits====*Remix by The Faint ==Live=="Meet Your Master" made its live debut at the present moment[[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]].
