==Lyrics=The Hand That Feeds (''Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time'')=== ==Music Video==The video for this song was directed by [[Rob Sheridan]] and Reznor, debuting at NIN.com on March 17, 2005. It's a basic performance video, filmed with a digital camera in the band's rehearsal space. The film has been tinted blue and some distortion does occur, due to the nature of the camera and how it responds to fast movements. The video caused quite a stir throughout the NIN community. Some didn't like the song, whereas others weren't even sure that this was the official video as it didn't look "done" to them. Still others were quick to note a noticeable positive change in Reznor's physical appearance.

You're ==Lyrics== You’re keeping in step In the line Got your chin held high and you feel just fine Because you do What you're you’re told But inside your heart it is black and it's it’s hollow and it's And it’s cold Just how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it? What if this whole crusade'scrusade’s A charade And behind it all there's there’s a price to be paid For the blood On which we dine Justified in the name of the holy and the divine Just how deep do you believe? Will you bite the hand that feeds? Will you chew until it bleeds? Can you get up off your knees? Are you brave enough to see? Do you want to change it? So naivenaïve I To keep holding on to what I want to believe And I can see But I keep holding Holding on and on and on and on Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will you stay down on your knees? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Will or will you stay down on your knees?
