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>).

==Lyrics==
Bow down in position
Against the polished heelsteel
This is something different
You'll like the way this feels
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
Count down to the end
Gotta make it come faster faster
Right around the bend
Is a coming disaster
Count down to the end
Gotta make it come faster faster
Right around the bend
Is a coming disaster
Count down to the end
And we're headed there faster faster
Come on down my friend
It's time to meet your master
The following lyric is repeated to the end of the song: Come on down ==External Links==*[https://archive.org/details/remix-nin-com-audio-00087 "Meet Your Master" (Instrumental) at archive.org] <BR>{{succession box | title=[[Year Zero#Track Listing|Year Zero]] | before= [[God Given]]| after= [[The Greater Good]] | track= 11}} [[Category:NIN Songs Released as Multitracks]][[Category:NIN Songs Never Played Live]]
