[-0--0-----0-0--0-----0-0--0-0----0-0-3---]
This next variation in the 2nd verse sounds like a whammy pedal
set one octave up.
Hit the power chord on the 10th fret and let it sustain, rock the
pedal forward then back.
If you dont have a whammy pedal, slide the chord up to the 22nd
fret then back again, but only
the first chord is struck.

I was undecided as to this next riff. Its either the intro riff
with a low D pedal note
or the intro riff simply played an octave lower. I'm choosing
the latter the latter

I'm not sure of the distorted riff, as my distorion pedal wasn't
to hand, but i think its this

| well, these lyrics are pretty far from accurate... but it's nice someone took a stab at it this early... better than i could have done, so good job FireWorx... still not sure what this song's about... it seems to be criticizing lazy stoners... or it might be trash talking the self righteous retards who have their own ideas about what Tool 'should' sound like... who knows, i'll wait until the lyrics are a bit more clear to pass judgment | |

| nonetospeakof. can we say pretentious asshole? you'll have room to talk later. spamming? i'm my opinion, buying these songs and commenting on how "amazing" they are should be qualified as spamming. and obviously, i already understood your post. "calling the kettle black"= hypocrisy. who didn't understand? and considering lateralus was about unity, spiritual ascension, awareness, and pretty much, the meaning of life, i don't consider a song about guantanamo bay or the war on iraq to be "deep". and i'm sure any 19 year old moron can fathom anything that you have to say, dipshit. | |

| he actually says "don't go tossin' your stones around" and i don't think this song is as much criticizing lazy stoners as it is about all the anti-marijuana advertisements (aka public service announcements) and the general policies governing pot. maybe i'm wrong, but that's what i've got with the couple of listens i've had and reading the lyrics once over. | |

| ack, Don't like this version of the lyrics all the much, and I think the part where it says "so full of it" might be subordinate | |
