"Discipline" is the latest single from Nine Inch Nails. It contains a beat reminiscent of "Only" from 2005's With Teeth and the lyrics seem to have a sado-masochistic overtone.
Released to radio on April 22, 2008, "Discipline" is available to download for free via the official Nine Inch Nails website. When this is downloaded, it comes with a note found in the comments box of the song info saying "Go to www.nin.com on May 5," possibly confirming rumours of a new EP. The lyrics are also contained.
"Discipline" is the first radio single from NIN since becoming an independent recording act, following their final release under a major record label, 2007's Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D. Due to the advertisement and short notice of the release, the song has been posted on YouTube almost immediately after release.
When downloading the song from the NIN website, the process involves submitting an email address, opening the email and clicking the download link, then putting the token code into the website after clicking the link. A .zip file is automatically downloaded once the token and link have registered. In addition, the multitrack files can be found at remix.nin.com.

Lyrics
Am I still tough enough?
Feels like Iām wearing down
Is my viciousness
Losing ground?
Am I taking too much
Did I cross a line
I need my role in this
Very clearly defined
I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself
And now it's starting up
feels like I'm losing touch
Nothing matters to me
Nothing matters as much
I see you left a mark
Up and down my skin
I don't know where I end
And where you begin
I need your discipline
I need your help
I need your discipline
You know once I start I cannot help myself
Once I start I cannot stop myself
