→The Greater Good
}}'''"The Greater Good"''' is the twelfth track on the 2007 release ''[[Year Zero]]''.
The song tells the assimilation of people into believing and following the government of Year Zero. They are now part of the "Greater Good."
==Live==
"The Greater Good" made its live debut at a [[2008/07/19 Los Angeles, CA|dress rehearsal performance]] in Los Angeles, California, on July 19, 2008. The instrumental accompaniment is simply the instrumental mix of the studio version, though Reznor's vocals are live. The lyrics of the second section are changed live sometimes, with "persuasion" becoming "temptation." It was performed on the 2008 legs of the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]] as a segue into the third part of the performance, with a screen dropped down on the stage featuring textures responding to the beat of the music as Reznor's image appeared on it, filmed with a hand-held camera. "The Greater Good" has not been performed since 2008.
