Nine Inch Nails was scheduled to perform this song live at the ''2005 MTV Movie Awards,'' but MTV denied [[Trent Reznor]]'s request to perform in front of a large image of President George W. Bush's face. As a result, Reznor decided to cancel the performance. NIN was replaced by the [[Dave Grohl|Foo Fighters]].

<blockquote>"We were set to perform 'The Hand That Feeds' with an unmolested, straightforward image of George W. Bush as the backdrop. Apparently, the image of our President is as offensive to MTV as it is to me. See you on tour this fall when we return to play in America. ===Song Credits===*Writing and performance: Trent Reznor*Production: Trent Reznor, [[Alan Moulder]]*Programming: [[Atticus Ross]]*Mix: Alan Moulder"</blockquote>

[[Image:THTFstill.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the "The Hand That Feeds" video]]The [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music 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. It is possible that this distortion is intended, as it The video also features a digital zoom—the image appears so pixelated and interlaced because Sheridan used key-framing to be create digital camera movements and zooms in post, giving the visuals an exaggerated artifact of poor deinterlacing. This would go along with the album's original theme of things bleeding througheven grittier feel.

Initially, there were plans to create an animated video using GNN, the same company that created Eminem's "Mosh" video. [http://theninhotline.net/archives/news.images/wt_ca_inside.jpg] The plans were scrapped sometime during pre-production, after a synopsis of the plot and a casting sheet were leaked to the internet, and because the end result was poorly received by Reznor and Sheridan.

"The Hand That Feeds" has been played live regularly since its debut on [[2005/03/23 Fresno, CA|March 23, 2005]]. During the [[Live: With Teeth2008/09/06 Inglewood, CA|September 6th, 2008]] tour launched performance of the song at the Forum in March Inglewood, California, a photo of 2005George W. Bush was displayed behind the band, and as the band played the photo gradually morphed into John McCain.

You’re You're keeping in step

What you’re you're told But inside your heart it is black and it’s it's hollow And it’s it's cold

What if this whole crusade’scrusade's

And behind it all there’s there's a price to be paid
