The Hand That Feeds

"The Hand That Feeds" is a song by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails, released as the lead single from their fourth studio album, With Teeth (2005).

We were set to perform 'The Hand That Feeds' with an unmolested, straightforward image of George W. Bush as the backdrop.

"[3] The following day, MTV stated, "While we respect Nine Inch Nails' point of view, we were uncomfortable with their performance being built around a partisan political statement.

[3] During a performance of "The Hand That Feeds" in Jacksonville, Florida, on October 29, 2008, a photo of Bush was displayed behind the band; as the band played, the photo gradually morphed into John McCain, the Republican candidate for the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

The song also appears in the trailer for the film Red Riding Hood and in the TV spots for Underworld: Evolution and Running Scared.

[5] The music video for the song was directed by Reznor and Rob Sheridan and debuted on the Nine Inch Nails website.
