No, You Don't (Instrumental)
No, You Don't (Version)
"No, You Don't" is the tenth track on the Left disc of The Fragile. In a 2000 interview with Guitar World, Trent Reznor acknowledged that the song is partially about the deterioration of his friendship with Marilyn Manson.[1]

No, You Don't
This is available on The Fragile. One of the most metal-oriented NIN songs, it begins with a subversive ambient pad fading in from the end of "Pilgrimage," which builds and sweeps in the drum loop; this introduction was later released in full as "Feeders." After 16 bars, the first verse begins, yelled by Reznor and accompanied by thick, distorted guitars. These remain evident throughout most of the track, the initial drum loop accompanying verses, then mutated into a faster beat with a feverish tambourine pulse playing 16th notes. A bridge featuring fuzzy lead guitar interrupts these patterns, releasing some of the energy before the quick pace returns and builds to a noisy, sudden climax.

Running Time: 3:16
Released exclusively through Apple Music as part of The Fragile Instrumental and later on The Fragile: Deviations 1, this retains the album arrangement, but lacks the opening ambient pad.

Running Time: 4:24
A nin.com exclusive during The Fragile era, this remix by Keith Hillebrandt is significantly more electronic than its album counterpart, based around stuttering beats. Its sound is similar to "Underneath It All." It was later available for download via the remix.nin.com website.
Live
"No, You Don't" made its live debut on November 14, 1999. It was a staple of the Fragility v1.0 shows, and reappeared at the last two shows for the European festivals. During this era, Robin Finck sang a falsetto backing vocal during the "teeth in the necks..." portion of the song. It was played infrequently at the early shows of Live: With Teeth, and regularly during Performance 2007, but has not appeared since.
Lyrics
Smiling in their faces
While filling up the hole
So many dirty little places
In your filthy little worn out
Broken down see through soul
Baby's got a problem
Tries so hard to hide
Got to keep it on the surface
Because everything else is dead on the other side
Teeth in the necks of everyone you know
You can keep on sucking until the blood won't flow
When it starts to hurt it only helps it grow
Taking all you need
(But not this time)
No, you don't
And just for the record
Just so you know
I did not believe
That you could sink so low
You think that you can beat them
I know that you won't
You think you have everything
But no, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
