"Letting You" is the third track on the Nine Inch Nails album The Slip. A noisy and fast-paced song, it is somewhat similar to "You Know What You Are" from With Teeth, but also contains similarities to "[Hyperpower!]" and "[The Good Soldier]". The artwork is a vertically oriented 'Art Is Resistance' emblem but it is unknown whether this has anything to do with Year Zero.

Lyrics

   The sky is painted black
   The smoke pours out the stack
   One hand upon your heart
   One hand behind your back
   You train us how to act
   You keep the fear intact
   The imminent attack
   Everything is right on track
   
   And we are letting you get away
   We are letting you get away with it
   
   Upon our plates to feed
   The dying left to bleed 
   How much we really need
   Your politics of greed
   The cancer takes ahold
   The wolf is in the fold
   Our destiny’s been sold
   We do just what we’re told
   
   And we are letting you get away
   We are letting you get away with it
   
   Your armies filled with hate
   Believing your charade
   Begin to suffocate
   For us it’s far too late
   
   And we are letting you get away
   We are letting you get away with it
