Every Day Is Exactly The Same (Live At Rehearsals)
"Every Day Is Exactly The Same" is the sixth track on the 2005 release With Teeth. It seems to be about addiction and overcoming it. There are also possible references to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.
In 2007 it was nominated for the Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance" but lost it to "Woman" by Wolfmother.

Every Day Is Exactly The Same (Edit)
An uncredited remix of the song from a very limited European promo. It is actually an altered version of the original song, with some lyrics omitted, differences in the overall mix, and a shorter ending. A CD-quality MP3 version was uploaded by Reznor on remix.nin.com.
Every Day Is Exactly The Same (Live At Rehearsals)
This version of the song is exclusive to the Beside You In Time DVD. It was filmed and recorded in the band's rehearsal space in early 2005.
Music Video
There were plans for a music video to be directed by Jonathan Glazer, but it was scrapped during post-production, not long after details about the video leaked to the web. Reznor commented on the scrapped video on Echoing the Sound:
Regarding EDIETS, there will be no video released. I made a mistake.
The good news is that mistake has acted as a catalyst for me to
rethink a number of decisions regarding the direction and position of
the band I've made and will be making in the future.
The enemies from outside and within have been identified and I am back on track.

Lyrics
I believe I can see the future
Because I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
And then again that might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around
Oh no
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes I still pretend
I can't remember how this all got started
But I can tell you —exactly— How it will end
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same
I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
I'll hide it behind something
They don't look behind
I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
I just don't know what else I can do
Every day is exactly the same
Additional lyrics printed in the With Teeth PDF booklet, but not appearing in the song itself
And I've rehearsed my lines
And I know what's coming next
