Haven't heard it too many times yet so I can't tell what the lyrics are properly about but from what I can gather it's a rather angry song about being accused of selling out by someone that dresses in brand names, has "cool" tattoos, piercings and drinks coke. I do like the point that's being made.
i met a boy
wearing vanz, 501s
and a dope bestie t
nipple rings, new tattoos
and clamed that he
was ogt (original gangser 'tool') from 92' (the year opiate came out) from the first ep
in between sips sips of coke he told me that he thought we were sellin out, layin down, suckin up to the man.
well now ive got some ad-vice for you little buddy, before you point your finger you should know that im the man. and if im the man then youre the man and he's the man as well so you can point that f*king finger yp your a$$.
all you know about me is what i sold you dumb f*ck, i sold out long before you ever heard my name
i sold my soul to make a record, dip-$hit
and you bought one
repeats some of that stuff a few more times then it ends in this
everything you and read and wear hear and see on tv is a product begging for your fat-a$$ dirty dollar
buy buy buy my new record
buy buy buy send more money
f*ck you buddy
f*ck you buddy
f*ck you buddy
f*ck you buddy
tool kicks ass, and i remembered that from memory. saw em live in phoenix, maynard spazmaticly danced as if he was suffering from some neurologiclal disorder
now playing
