Found on the [[''Year Zero (halo)|Year Zero]] album '' as well as the ''Survivalism'' single and promo. Characterized by much synthetic layering and a consistent eighth note drum machine pulse, matched by a single note bass riff that begins on the second eighth and ends on the eighth before repeating. This gives the song an apparent metric shift one eighth note forward, though the first downbeat of each measure is actually in the space between the stop and start of the bass and guitar riff. The chorus features many layers of group vocals, including some by Saul Williams. After the final chorus, a new guitar riff leads off a coda that builds in layers of drones until suddenly stopping and leading into "[[The Good Soldier]]." ===Survivalism (haloInstrumental)|Survivalism promo==='''''Running Time: 4:30''''' This unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Reznor through his [[remix.nin.com]]account.

A radio-friendly edited version that is found on the ''Survivalism'' promo. The word "whore" is edited out. ===Survivalism_Tardusted==='''''Running Time: 4:19''''' Included on the ''Survivalism'' single and ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D,'' this remix was created by Williams and Thavius Beck. The music isn't as guitar-driven as the album version and the chorus consists of Reznor's vocals with Williams' vocal contributions reduced significantly. The breakdown repeats the lyric "All a part of this great nation." There is also hand-clap percussion over pulsating beats and some distortion on Reznor's vocals at some points in the song. Although it may not seem as heavy as the original, it's still heavy in terms of percussion. ====Song Credits====Remix: Saul Williams, Thavius Beck ===Survivalism_OpalHeartClinic_Niggy_Tardust!(Escaped...===Available on the UK 9" Vinyl ''Survivalism'' single. This remix, also by Williams, features him incorporating new lyrics into the verses and delivering them with more of a spoken word/hip-hop flow. Reznor's vocals become backing vocals on this track, allowing Williams to come to the front. The music is very similar to that used in the "Tardusted" version. The new lyrics sung by Williams are as follows: Wanted to cap somebody Wanted to buck em' down Wanted to pull the trigger Just to hear the fucking sound I got my propaganda I get my cable free I hang it from my neck And go to work from tree to tree It's gotta be the poison They're putting in my food It takes me by the brain And marks me to my every move I try to change the channel The channel's changing me I take the cup and prop it up Before I start to pee I stumble from the toilet I'm sprawled across the floor I feel my head expand Beyond the room Beyond the door I'm in an oval office In an electric chair I sign my name Beneath the claim That I don't really care I got survivalism You've got my claim to fame I got the right to say I'm fighting under Jesus' name I see the .45's But I wont act surprised Lost my faith along the way And found myself believing your lies The spoken word rhythm of this remix has a strong resemblance to Williams' song "P.G." from ''[[wp:Saul Williams (album)|Saul Williams]]''. ===Survivalism (Dave Sitek Mix)==='''''Running Time: 4:31''''' David Andrew Sitek is member of [[TV On The Radio]], who opened for [[Nine Inch Nails]] during the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour. This remix was originally available as a UK-only iTunes download. It came as a free bonus track packaged with the full album download of ''Year Zero.'' It is alternatively available on the [[Capital G (halo)|Survivalism promo''Capital G'' single]]. It is akin to the original song sound-wise, but features a heavier and more plodding drum line. Additionally, it enhances Williams' back up vocals and makes them more prominent than in the original. The word "whore" structure and length of the song remains relatively unchanged. ===Survivalism (deadmau5 Remix)==='''''Running Time: 3:37''''' This is edited outa remix by deadmau5, originally released through his official SoundCloud account in 2012, then commercially on his album ''while(1<2)''.

== Music Video ==[[Image:Survivalismstill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "Survivalism" video]][[Image:Survivalscreens.png|thumbnail|Layout of the video screens]]Filming for the "Survivalism" [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music video ]] began on February 5, 2007, at Lacy Street Studios. It was directed by Alex Lieu, [[Rob Sheridan]], and Reznor, and produced by Susan Bonds. The video was "leaked" to the internet via flash drives given to found dotted around the venue by people attending the Nine Inch Nails concert in London of on March 7, 2007.

A wall of surveillance monitors details the activities of several peoplein an apartment building. A group of rebels is creating stencils and spray-painting the "Art Is Resistance" logo on walls. In an apartment, a pair of gay lovers share an intimate moment. In another dwelling, a young asian woman stands topless at her mirror doing her hair and applying make-up. Elsewhere someone is high on drugs, while a couple just sits on their couch in their home. A man is seen on a [http://theninhotline.net/sets.jpg computer ] with several photos and [http://www.ninwiki.com/Image:Exodus_721.JPG news clippings ]behind him. Another man is seen on camera eating his dinner. Seen on several monitors is Nine Inch Nails playing the song in what is assumed to be their practice space. Intercut with these scenes is footage of armed soldiers , dressed like SWAT members, moving in on the building and one of the spaces in the video.  At the end of the video the people in the other monitors seem to respond to an ado in one of the buildings spaces seen on the monitor wall. The space where NIN was playing has its door busted in and a pool of blood leading out, while all of the other cameras trained on the band have gone to static. At the very end a body is seen being dragged around a corner, leaving a trail of blood. Presumably the body is that of Reznor, as it wears the same scarf that he is seen wearing throughout the video.<br>'''END SPOILERS''' [[Image:Censored.jpg|thumbnail|The Bureau Of Morality's censoring at work.]]The video has aired on MTV2, but in a censored form. The screens with the woman at her mirror and one the gay lovers have been replaced by a white screen bearing the seal of the [[US Bureau of Morality]] and the phrase "CENSORED FOR YOUR PROTECTION." This is not unlike the places use of SCENE MISSING screens in the "[[Closer]]" video. Interestingly enough, the word "whore" and the screen depicting the girl using [[opal]] are left intact. Even the ending scenes of the pool of blood in the band's space and the body getting dragged off are retained.

We kept on eating butour Our bloated belly's Bloated bellies still not full

Can't seem to shut her legsour Our mother nature Mother Nature is a whore

I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In in high-def ultra-realism

I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism

Hypnotic sound of sirensirens

I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In in high-def ultra-realism

I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism

She asked asks to take my hand I turned, just turn and keep on walking But What you'd do the same thing in this the circumstance I'm sure you'll understand

I got my propaganda I got revisionism I got my violence In in high-def ultra-realism

I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism However, the last lines of the third verse are changed to the following on the actual recording: I turn just keep on walking YouWhat you've got your pacifism, d do the same thing in the circumstance I've got survivalismm sure you'll understand ==External Links==*[http://vimeo.com/2707962 "Survivalism" music video (Brief NSFW)]*[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSsRt_1l740 "Survivalism" music video (edited)]*[http://vimeo.com/5031029 "Survivalism" with Williams, live from on stage, Atlanta, 5.10.09]*[https://archive.org/details/remix-nin-com-audio-00091 "Survivalism" (Instrumental) at archive.org] <BR>{{succession box | title=[[Year Zero#Track Listing|Year Zero]] | before= [[The Beginning of the End]]| after= [[The Good Soldier]] | track= 3}}
