It begins with a sample from the film THX 1138, and immediately picks up with a very up-temp and aggressive first verse.
==Performed live==
Often used to open shows during the later Self Destruct tours. It begins with a much faster drum beat intro than the album version and features heavy amounts of guitar feedback at various points in the song. During the [[Pre-Year Zero Tour]] (and possibly the With_Teeth tours), [[Alessandro Cortini]] joins the rest of the band at the front of the stage playing guitar only to immediately return to the back when the song is finished.
==Lyrics==
I am the voice inside your head
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
